Question

Knable Incorporated manufactures farm equipment. Knable is going to build a new factory. Based on projections, it is expected that Knable will need to invest 5,700,000 at the beginning of this project. Additional cash flows over the next five years will be as follows:

End of Year 1 2 3 4 5

Cash Flow1,000,000 X 2,000,000 4,000,000 5,000,000

After five years, the factory will be obsolete and not generate any additional cash flows.

This factory based on expected cash flows will generate an internal rate of return of 9.5%.

Calculate the Net Present Value of the expected cash flows at an annual effective rate of 11%.

(Round your answer to the nearest 2 decimal places.)

Explanation / Answer

Calculation of NPV

NPV = Present value of cash inflows - Preent value of cash outflows

= 7,964,000- 5,700,000

= $22,64,000

Kindly give a positive rating if you are satisfied with the answer. Feel free to ask if you have any doubt. Thanks.
