The net present value of the project is $_____ million. (Round to two decimal places.)
The net present value of the project is $47.25 million.
Step-1:Calculation of present value of cash inflow | ||||||
Present value of cash inflow | = | CF1/(Ke-g) | ||||
= | 14.1/(0.1280-0.0370) | |||||
= | $ 154.95 | |||||
Where, | ||||||
CF1 | = | Cash flow in year 1 | = | $ 14.1 | ||
g | = | Growth rate of cash flow | = | 3.70% | ||
Ke | = | Discount rate | = | 12.80% | ||
Note: | ||||||
RiverRocks is acquiring Raft Adventures.So, WACC of RiverRocks is relevent for discounting cash inflows. | ||||||
Step-2:Calculation of NPV of project | ||||||
Present value of cash inflow | $ 154.95 | |||||
Less Cost of Project | $ 107.70 | |||||
NPV | $ 47.25 | |||||
