Year | |||
0 | 1 | 2 | |
Free Cash Flows | -3 | 14 | 21 |
The NPV is computed as follows:
= Year 0 cash flow + Year 1 cash flow / (1 + Interest rate) + Year 2 cash flow / (1 + interest rate)2 + 1 / (1 + interest rate)2 x [ (Free cash flow in year 2 x (1 + growth rate) / (Interest rate - growth rate) ]
= - $ 3 million + $ 14 million / 1.10 + $ 21 million / 1.102 + 1 / 1.102 x [ ($ 21 million x 1.02) / (0.10 - 0.02) ]
= - $ 3 million + $ 14 million / 1.10 + $ 21 million / 1.102 + $ 267.75 million / 1.102
= - $ 3 million + $ 14 million / 1.10 + $ 288.75 million / 1.102
= $ 248.36 million Approximately
