Answer: By trial and error, sales revenue of $10,000 will result in free cash flow $3,315 for each year and a net present value close to $0.00. Using a financial calculator, students could also solve for the 2 year annuity that results in NPV = CAPEX and then work their way back up through the pro forma cash flow forecasts.
