Net Present Value
Net Present Value (NPV) is used in capital budgeting to analyze the profitability of an investment or project. NPV is found by subtracting the present value of the after-tax outflows from the present value of the after-tax inflows. Investments with a positive NPV increase shareholder value and those with a negative NPV reduce shareholder value. In order to compute the NPV for Worldwide Paper Company, we have to calculate the cash flow in capital budgeting of the project as below. | | 2007 | 2008 | 2009 | 2010 | 2011 | 2012 | 2013 | Terminal Cash flow | A | Fixed Assets | | | | | | | | | | Cost of Investment | -$16 | -$2 | | | | | | | | Sales of Fixed Asset | | | | | | | | $1.08 | B | Working Capital | | | | | | | | | | Incremental Sales | | $4 | $6 | | | | | | | Change in Working Capital (10%) | | $0.4 | $0.6 | | | | | | | Cash flow of investment in working capital | | -$0.4 | -$0.6 | | | | | $1.0 | C | Operating Cash Flow | | | | | | | | | | Revenue of Investment | | $4 | $10 | $10 | $10 | $10 | $10 | | - | Cost of Good Sold (75%) | | -$3 | -$7.5 | -$7.5 | -$7.5 | -$7.5 | -$7.5 | | - | SG&A expenses (5%) | | -$0.2 | -$0.5 | -$0.5 | -$0.5 | -$0.5 | -$0.5 | | | Net Income | | $0.8 | $2 | $2 | $2 | $2 | $2 | | + | Operating Saving | | $2 | $3.5 | $3.5 | $3.5 | $3.5 | $3.5 | | - | Depreciation | | $3 | $3 | $3 | $3 | $3 | $3 | | | EBIT | | -$0.2 | $2.5 | $2.5 | $2.5 | $2.5 | $2.5 | | - | Tax (40%) | | -$0.08 | $1 | $1 | $1 | $1 | $1 | | | EAT | | -$0.12 | $1.5 | $1.5 | $1.5 | $1.5 | $1.5 | | + | Add back Depreciation | | $3 | $3 | $3 | $3 | $3 | $3 | | | Total Operating Cash Flow | | $2.88 | $4.5 | $4.5 | $4.5 | $4.5 | $4.5 | | D | Total Project Cash Flow (A+B+C) | -$16 | $0.48 | $3.9 | $4.5 | $4.5 | $4.5 | $4.5 | $2.08 |

    The resulting NPV indicates that the project should be accepted and the investor should expect a return on equity of 38.87%. The NPV provides the investor with an expectation of what all future cash inflows will be worth in today’s dollars. The profitability index is closely related to the NPV. It evaluates the project’s feasibility based on future cash flows compared to initial costs. In general, a project is deemed a valid investment if this ratio is over 1. For this investment opportunity the profitability index indicates that it should be accepted.…

    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.…

    Worldwide Paper Company Case Write Up

    In the case of Worldwide Paper Company we performed calculations to decide whether they should accept a new project or not. We calculated their net income and their cash flows for this project (See Table 1.6 and 1.5). We computed WPC’s weighted average cost of capital as 9.87%. We then used the cash flows to calculate the company’s NPV. We first calculated the NPV by using the 15% discount rate; by using that number we calculated a negative NPV of $2,162,760. We determined that the discount rate of 15% was out dated and insufficient. To calculate a more accurate NPV for the project, we decided to use the rate of 9.87% that we computed. Using this number we got the NPV of $577,069. With the NPV of $577,069 our conclusion is to accept this project as long as everything stays as it currently is. We recommend that they evaluate themselves at least yearly as things may change from year to year.…

The Excel NPV function does not correspond to the finance use of the term NPV. To correct this NPV should be calculated as the present value of future cash flows minus the initial payment, the initial payment is later added outside the parenthesis of the function.…
