How would the payback, internal rate of return, and net present value change if the capital cost for the project was $750,000 and the cost savings and increased revenue were decreased by 25 percent each year? Cost of capital rate is 7%, and tax rate is 40%.
Info for the following years
Increased revenue $50 $75 $100 $115 $130
Cost savings $110 $125 $125 $125 $125
Depreciation expense $150 $125 $100 $75 $50
Operating and maintenance expense $75 $50 $50 $50 $50
Formulae Used:
Net Cash Flow = Profit After Tax + Depreciation Expense
NPV = Present Value of All Future Cash Flows - Initial Expenditure
Where r is the IRR
Please Note: In case 2, increased revenue and cost savings of each year have been reduced by 25%. The NPV hence falls, so does the IRR and the investment is never paid off.
Payback Period is the duration of time in which the initital investment in a project has been repaid using cashflows from the project.
