Investment Analysis

1. Question Rainbow Products

Savings - $5000/year
Machine costs $35.000
Expected to last for 15 years
Cost of capital 12%

A. payback?, NPV?, IRR?

Payback: The amount of time required for a firm to recover its initial investment. by dividing the initial investment by the annual cash inflow.

In our case $35.000/$5000= 7years

NPV: Investment- the PV of its cash inflows discounted at a rate( the firm’s cost of capital)

NPV= -$35.000- $34.054= -$946 so NPV less than $0, the project rejected
IRR: discount rate, with IRR the NPV=0

IRR= 11,49%
IRR less than the cost of capital (12%), we reject the project.

B. payback?, NPV?, IRR?

Payback:
In this case $35.000/$4500= 7,77years=8years

NPV: Investment- the PV of its cash inflows discounted at a rate( the firm’s cost of capital)
In perpetuity means: constant stream of cash flows with no end – PV= C/r

NPV= -$35.000+$37500= $2500 so NPV greater than $0, the project accepted
IRR: discount rate, with IRR the NPV=0

IRR= 12,86%
IRRgreater than the cost of capital (12%), we accept the project.

C. payback?, NPV?, IRR?

Payback: mixed of cash inflows, we accumulated until the investment is recovered
In this case in 7th year is $31.593 it’s not enough so in 8th year will be recovered

NPV: Investment- the PV of an initial end-of-year perpetuity payout of $C (growing at g%) per period, with a discount rate of k%: = PV= C/(k-g)

NPV= -$35.000+ $50000= $15000 so NPV greater than $0, the project accepted
IRR: discount rate, with IRR the NPV=0

IRR= 15,43%
IRRgreater than the cost of capital (12%), we accept the project.

2. Question „Ball park”

In case of IRR calculation we recommend the project D, so renting a larger stand. Because a project with a higher IRR value than other options would still provide a much better chance of strong growth. Near NPV results we can recommend the project C, so

    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.…

When net present value is zero, it is considered positive. Higher net present value is desirable for investment.…

    “One of the key areas of long-term decision-making that firms must tackle is that of investment - the need to commit funds by purchasing land, buildings, machinery and so on, in anticipation of being able to earn an income greater than the funds committed”. (Investment Appraisal sheet). A Capital Budgeting Process essentially defined as, “the process by which the financial manager decides whether to invest in specific capital projects or assets” (Capital Budgeting, Decision Process, Procedure, definition) is put in place within companies in order to sift through and make decisions regarding viable major investments. The various stages of the Capital Budgeting Process are (a) Forecasting investment decisions; (b) Identifying projects to meet needs; (c) Appraising the investments; (d) Selecting the best alternatives; (e) Making the expenditure; (f) Monitoring projects. (Investment Appraisal sheet). There are also various components of the process which include, the initial investment outlay, which is the initial cash outflow on the purchase of an asset less the net cash proceeds from the disposal of the replaced asset; Net cash savings or benefits or savings from operations; Terminal cash flow; and the NPV technique. (Capital Budgeting, Decision Process, Procedure, definition). Management accounting uses the Net Present Value (NPV) technique, which in simple terms practices an explicit comparison of the returns from a specific project with the relevant opportunity cost of capital, to appraise and manage investment decisions. NPV is an indicator of how much value an investment adds to the firm. (Net Present Value, 2009)…

    * It acts as a major link between the firm’s long-term investment decisions and the wealth of the owners as determined by investors in the market-place. It is, in effect, the “magic number” that is used to decide whether a proposed corporate investment will increase or decrease the firm’s stock price. Clearly, only those investments that are expected to increase stock price (NPV>0, or IRR>cost of capital) would be recommended.…

    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.…
