The cash flows associated with an investment project are an immediate cost of $1300 and benefits of $1000 in one year, $1900 in two years, and $1500 in three years. The cost of capital (WACC) is 10%. What is the project's NPV?
Your Answer:
Net Present Value calculation: | ||||
Year | Inflows | Discounting Factor@ 10% |
Discounting Cash inflow |
|
1 | $ 1,000.00 | 0.9091 | $ 909.00 | |
2 | 1,900.00 | 0.8264 | $ 1,570.00 | |
3 | 1,500.00 | 0.7513 | $ 1,127.00 | |
TOTAL | $ 3,606.00 | |||
Therefore, Net Present Value (NPV) = Sum of Discounting Cash inflow - Initial Investment | ||||
= $3,606 - $1,300 = $2,306 |
