    BGA1 Task 4

    Net present value (NPV) method is used to decide whether or not a company should take on a new project or acquisition. The formula for NPV is the difference between the present value of a project’s cash inflows and its cash outflows. To calculate the present values the future cash flows are discounted using the time value of money method. For the project to be accepted the NPV should be positive, because it means the return is greater than the required rate of return; or zero, because that means the return is equal to the required rate of return. However, if negative the project should be rejected, because its return is less than the required rate of return. This required rate of return is also referred to as the cost of capital.…

    Silver Ships Case Study

During its 25 years in business, McCarty’s company had sold more than 1,500 boats to the U.S. military, various federal agencies, law enforcement agencies, shipping companies, and others needing custom-designed small to medium-size vessels. Exhibit 1 presents a sample of typical military and workboats produced by Silver Ships.
