    my exam is tomorrow so any help is appreciated.

    For NPV method, what do we do with final year working capital requirement decrease?

    1. decrease in working capital x (T)

    2. decrease in working capital x (1-T)

    3. decrease in working capital

    Becker’s question #CPA-03347 says we just do decrease in working capital…then multiply by PV factor. (???)

    Thanks in advance.

    Yes, taxes are not considered since it is neither taxable cash flow nor deductible expenses. A reduction in working capital simply converts a current asset, receivables or the like, into cash. Thus, we only consider the cash inflow at its present value.

    Hope this helps, I am taking BEC in an hour, wish me luck!
