A project has annual cash flows of $3,000 for the next 10 years and then $6,500 each year for the following 10 years. The IRR of this 20-year project is 13.95%. If the firm's WACC is 12%, what is the project's NPV? Round your answer to the nearest cent.
Thanks!!!
Project's NPV is $ 2,481.51
Working:
Step-1:Calculation of initial cost of project | ||||||||||||||
IRR is the rate at which present value of cash inflows become equal to initial cost. | ||||||||||||||
So, initial cost is the present value of cash inflows at IRR rate | ||||||||||||||
Present Value of annuity of 1 | = | (1-(1+i)^-n)/i | Where, | |||||||||||
= | (1-(1+0.1395)^-10)/0.1395 | i | 13.95% | |||||||||||
= | 5.226310 | n | 10 | |||||||||||
Present value of annual cash inflows of first 10 years | = | Annual Cash inflows * Present value of annuity of 1 | ||||||||||||
= | $ 3,000.00 | * | 5.226310 | |||||||||||
= | $ 15,678.93 | |||||||||||||
Present value of annual cash inflows of next 10 years | = | Annual Cash inflows * Present value of annuity of 1*Present value of 1 to be recived in year 10 | ||||||||||||
= | $ 3,000.00 | * | 5.226310 | * | (1.1395^-10) | |||||||||
= | $ 3,000.00 | * | 5.226310 | * | 0.27093 | |||||||||
= | $ 4,247.89 | |||||||||||||
Present value of all cash inflows | = | $ 15,678.93 | + | $ 4,247.89 | ||||||||||
= | $ 19,926.82 | |||||||||||||
So, initial cost of project is | $ 19,926.82 | |||||||||||||
Step-2:Calculation of project's NPV | ||||||||||||||
Present Value of annuity of 1 | = | (1-(1+i)^-n)/i | Where, | |||||||||||
= | (1-(1+0.12)^-10)/0.12 | i | 12.00% | |||||||||||
= | 5.650223 | n | 10 | |||||||||||
Present value of annual cash inflows of first 10 years | = | Annual Cash inflows * Present value of annuity of 1 | ||||||||||||
= | $ 3,000.00 | * | 5.650223 | |||||||||||
= | $ 16,950.67 | |||||||||||||
Present value of annual cash inflows of next 10 years | = | Annual Cash inflows * Present value of annuity of 1*Present value of 1 to be recived in year 10 | ||||||||||||
= | $ 3,000.00 | * | 5.650223 | * | (1.12^-10) | |||||||||
= | $ 3,000.00 | * | 5.650223 | * | 0.321973 | |||||||||
= | $ 5,457.66 | |||||||||||||
Present value of all cash inflows | = | $ 16,950.67 | + | $ 5,457.66 | ||||||||||
= | $ 22,408.33 | |||||||||||||
Present value of annual cash inflows | $ 22,408.33 | |||||||||||||
Less initial cost of project | $ 19,926.82 | |||||||||||||
Project's NPV | $ 2,481.51 | |||||||||||||
