Suppose you are evaluating a project with the expected future cash inflows shown in the following table

Finance Jan 08, 2021

Suppose you are evaluating a project with the expected future cash inflows shown in the following table. Your boss has asked you to calculate the project's net present value (NPV). You don't know the project's initial cost, but you do know the project's regular, or conventional, payback period is 2.50 years. Year Cash Flow Year 1 $300,000 Year 2 $500,000 Year 3 $500,000 Year 4 $450,000 If the project's weighted average cost of capital (WACC) is 7%, the project's NPV (rounded to the nearest dollar) is: O $376,691 O $481,327 O $460,400 O $418,545 Which of the following statements indicate a disadvantage of using the regular payback period (not the discounted payback period) for capital budgeting decisions? Check all that apply. The payback period does not take the time value of money into account. The payback period is calculated using net income instead of cash flows. The payback period does not take the project's entire life into account.

  • Ans a) computation of intitial investment        
      Year Cash flow        
      1 300000        
      2 500000        
      3 500000        
      4 450000        
                 
      Initial investment = $       1,050,000        
      300000+500000+500000*0.5        
                 
      Computation of NPV          
                 
      Year Cash flow PVIF @ 7% Present value    
      0 $     (1,050,000) 1 $(1,050,000)    
      1 $          300,000 0.934579 $     280,374    
      2 $          500,000 0.873439 $     436,719

      4 $          450,000 0.762895 $     343,303    
      NPV =     $     418,545    
                 
      Ans = $          418,545        
                 
                 
    Ans b) Correct answers are -          
      The payback period does not take the time value of money into account  
      The payback period does not take the project's entire life into account
