corporation and there are two options with the same cost of $250‚000 but both with different 5-year projections of cash flows. The evaluation done to the two corporations (A and B) is based on the Net Present Value (NPV) and the Internal Rate of Return (IRR). The net present value represents the value the project or investment adds to the investor wealth. The NPV method of capital budgeting suggests that all projects that have positive NPV should be accepted because they would add value to the investment

In 2010‚ every 2-hours three people were killed in alcohol-related highway crashes. The same year‚ The Coast Guard reported 154 recreational boating fatalities ‚ 22.9%‚ of which involved alcohol use as a contributing factor. (Drunk Drivers by the Numbers 2012) By contrast‚ trains and metros have significant fewer incidents and deaths involving alcohol but these sporadic events can cause larger‚ more wide spread destruction. This is why the United States Government has taken measures to ensure that

PI = PV of cash inflows / PV of cash outflows If PI is positive‚ it will be accepted otherwise reject. 3) Internal rate of return: IRR is the discount rate that equates the present values of cash inflows with the initial investment associated with the project thereby causing NPV = 0 If IRR ≥ required rate of return the project is accepted. If IRR < required rate of return the project is rejected. 4) Payback period: Payback period is the exact amount of time required for a firm to

Capital budgeting is the process of evaluating a company’s potential investments and deciding which ones to accept. A company’s market value added (MVA) is the sum of all its projects’ net present values (NPVs). Basically‚ one can calculate the free cash flows (FCFs) for a project in much the same way as for a firm. When a project’s free cash flows are discounted at the appropriate risk-adjusted rate‚ the result is the project’s value. One difference between valuing a firm and a project is the

(ARR) as they depend on the cash flow and the profit made by this investment‚ the other methods take into consideration the time value of money using a technique called Discounted Cash Flow like Net Present Value (NPV) and Internal Rate of Return (IRR). The payback method is one of the simplest and most frequently used methods of capital investment appraisal. It is defined as the period in months or years that is required for a stream of cash earnings from an investment to recover the original

Except NPV‚ the company can also use payback period‚ discounted payback period method‚ the internal rate of return (IRR) and the profitability index (PI). The following is the analysis and comparison of NPV and these alternatives. NPV is the profit a company can obtain from its project and the increase in the value of the shareholders.

E) Which of the following is true about the NPV and IRR techniques? 1) The NPV and IRR techniques always provide the same ranking of different investment projects. 2) The NPV and IRR techniques explicitly consider the cost of capital and the time value of money. 3) All projects can have only one value for NPV and one value for IRR. 4) The NPV technique cannot provide information on how acquiring the project will contribute to shareholders’
