and comparison of project appraisal techniques. The Net Present Value (NPV) method is used by 75% of firms when deciding on investment projects. The reasons for its wide use is that firstly‚ the NPV rule takes into account the time value of money‚ meaning that it recognises that a pound today is worth more than a pound tomorrow as the pound today can be invested to start earning interest immediately.

the NPV approach to investment appraisal and compare the strengths and weaknesses of the NPV approach to two other commonly used approaches. (30 marks) This first section of this paper will provide a brief explanation on theoretical rationale for the net present value (NPV) method of investment appraisal and then compare its strengths and weaknesses to two alternative methods of investment appraisal‚ those of internal rate of return (IRR) and pay-back. Theoretical rationale for the NPV approach

macroeconomic factors like exchange rate‚ inflation and interest rate has made the valuation of the project very complex. Compute the NPV of Ariel-Mexico’s recycling equipment by counting incremental peso cash flows at a peso interest rate. How should this NPV be translated into Euros? Assume expected future inflation for France is 3% per year. For the purpose of calculating NPV in Pesos‚ incremental cash flows of the project for the next 10 years should be calculated first. The initial outflow of cash flow

Recent studies highlight that financial managers worldwide favor methods such as the internal rate of return (IRR) or non-discounted payback period (PP) models over the net present value (NPV)‚ which is the model academics consider superior.

We should accept the project because of the positive NPV and high IRR. We will gain $532 million in wealth which is a big money on the scale like this.
