Assume That Over the Life of Project X, Net Working

question 262

True/False

Assume that over the life of project X, net working capital is maintained at an amount equal to the
initial investment. If so, net working capital doesn't need to be included in the NPV computation,
since the outflow at time zero is exactly (as we generally assume) offset by an equal inflow at the
end of the project's life.
