Net Present Value

Holland, Inc., has just completed development of a new cell phone. The new product is expected to produce annual revenues of $1,350,000. Producing the cell phone requires an investment in new equipment, costing $1,440,000. The cell phone has a projected life cycle of five years. After five years, the equipment can be sold for $180,000. Working capital is also expected to increase by $180,000, which Holland will recover by the end of the new product's life cycle. Annual cash operating expenses are estimated at $810,000. The required rate of return is 8 percent.

Start with initial investment and increase in working capital (cash decrease). Years 1-4 record revenues and expenses. Year 5, record revenue and expenses. Add equipment salvage value and working capital.

Explanation / Answer

1)

Amount (A) Present Value Factor 8% (B) Discounted Cash Inflow (A*B)

Initial Cash Outflow -1620000 1 -1620000

Year 1 - Cash Inflow 540000 0.92593 500002

Year 2 - Cash Inflow 540000 0.85734 462964

Year 3 - Cash Inflow 540000 0.79383 428668

Year 4 - Cash Inflow 540000 0.73503 396916

Year 5 - Cash Inflow 900000 0.68058 612522

NPV

781072

NPV = 781072

3.

NPV = - 1620000 + 540000*(3.99271) + 360000*(.68058) = 781072

1.NPV CAM X=1608425.3293

NPV CAM y= 1876496.2175

model cam y should be chosen

2. IRR=21.41%

CAM Y IRR=21.41%

both have same IRR but as per NPV CAM y should be selected

1. NPV of southward= 10089.2114

Yes he should buy as NPV is positive.

2.NPV=-18199.2118

no, she should not invest as NPV is negative

NPV=28029.5849

yes this affects the decision.if inflow becomes 45000 then NPV is positive so, he can invest in it....
