    Help with Net Present Value question with immediate write off?
    Hi

    I have the following Net Present Value question:

    New 10 year project - Investments required:
    - Patent (Cost $1.5 million) depreciated Straight Line @ 25%
    - Software (Cost $1 million) immediately written off
    - Additional Net working capital =$200,000

    Sales (units) - 5000(year 1), and increases by 10%(years 2-5) and stablizes (years 6-10)
    Selling Price =$500/unit
    Production cost =$350/unit
    Software maintenance expense =$50,000/year
    Selling and administration expense =$750,000/year
    Additional Overhead =$250,000/year

    Cost of capital =12%

    I am confused about how to record the immediate write off the software in order to calculate my Net present value correctly. Can somebody please answer this for me?

    Thanks
