capital budgeting criteria:
You are given the following cash flow of a project with a discount rate of 7%. Calculate the Net Present Value, Internal Rate of Return, Profitability Index, and Payback Period.
Year | Cash.Flow |
0 | -17000 |
1 | 4500 |
2 | 8700 |
3 | 11900 |
Net present value = ??
Internal Rate of Return = ??
Profitability Index = ??
Payback period = ??
1)
Net present value = Present value of cash inflows - present value of cash outflows
Net present value = -17000 + 4500/ (1 + 0.07)1 + 8700/ (1 + 0.07)2 + 11900/ (1 + 0.07)3
Net present value = -17000 + 4,205.6075 + 7,598.9169 + 9,713.9447
Net present value = $4,518.47
2)
Internal rate of return is the rate that makes initial investment equal to present value of cash inflows
17000 = 4500/ (1 + R)1 + 8700/ (1 + R)2 + 11900/ (1 + R)3
Using trial and error method, i.e., after trying various values for R, lets try R as 18.96%
17000 = 4500/ (1 + 0.1896)1 + 8700/ (1 + 0.1896)2 + 11900/ (1 + 0.1896)3
17000 = 17000
Therefore, IRR is 18.96%
3)
Profitability index = Present value / initial investment
Present value = 4500/ (1 + 0.07)1 + 8700/ (1 + 0.07)2 + 11900/ (1 + 0.07)3
Present value = 4,205.6075 + 7,598.9169 + 9,713.9447
Present value = 21,518.4692
Profitability index = 21,518.4692 / 17000
Profitability index = 1.27
4)
Cumulative cash flow for year 0 = - 17000
Cumulative cash flow for year 1 = - 17000 + 4500 = -12,500
Cumulative cash flow for year 2 = - 12,500 + 8700 = -3,800
Cumulative cash flow for year 3 = - 3,800 + 11900 = -8,100
3,800 / 11900 = 0.32
Payback period = 2 + 0.32 = 2.32 years
