Harry's Inc. is considering a project that has the following cash flow and WACC data. What is the project's NPV? Note that if a project's projected NPV is negative, it should be rejected. WACC: 7.75% Year 0 1 2 3 4 5 Cash flows -$1,000 $300 $300 $300 $300 $300 a. 209.86 b. 248.95 c. 205.75 d. 176.94 e. 232.49
Ans:NPV = PResent value of cash inflows - Present value of cash outflows
= $ 205.75 (refer table below for calculation
Option C
Discount rate = 7.75% | ||||
Year | Present value factor =1/(1+r)^n | Present value factor (A) | Cash flows (B) | Present value of cash flows (A*B) |
1 | 1/(1+7.75%) | 0.9281 | $ 300.00 | $ 278.42 |
2 | 1/(1+7.75%)^2 | 0.8613 | $ 300.00 | $ 258.40 |
3 | 1/(1+7.75%)^3 | 0.7994 | $ 300.00 | $ 239.81 |
4 | 1/(1+7.75%)^4 | 0.7419 | $ 300.00 | $ 222.56 |
5 | 1/(1+7.75%)^5 | 0.6885 | $ 300.00 | $ 206.55 |
Present value of cash inflows | $ 1,205.75 | |||
Less: Initial outflow | $ 1,000.00 | |||
NPV | $ 205.75 |
