In NPV method, if in a particular project a machine is used and it has a resale value of 10000 which is equal to its written down value at end of last year then what will be the terminal value as per this method???? I mean do we consider this value of 10000 while calculating the Present Value of Cash Inflows???

Hi,

The sale value is the cash inflow and it should be included in finding the terminal cash inflow.For tax purpose the STCG will be zero since(sale value=WDV).correct me if i am wrong.
