Question


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.

2. Calculate the NPV using only discount factors from Exhibit 14B-1. Round present value calculations and your final answer to the nearest whole dollar.

NPV and IRR, Mutually Exclusive Projects

Follow the format shown in Exhibit 14B-1 and Exhibit 14B-2 as you complete the requirements below.

Hardy Inc. intends to invest in one of two competing types of computer-aided manufacturing equipment: CAM X and CAM Y. Both CAM X and CAM Y models have a project life of 10 years. The purchase price of the CAM X model is $3,000,000, and it has a net annual after-tax cash inflow of $750,000. The CAM Y model is more expensive, selling for $3,500,000, but it wil produce a net annual after-tax cash inflow of $875,000. The cost of capital for the company is 10 percent.

Use the Exhibit 14B-1 and Exhibit 14B-2 to locate the present value of an annuity of $1, which is the amount to be multiplied times the future annual cash flow amount.

Each of the following scenarios is independent. Assume that all cash flows are after-tax cash flows.

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....
