Question 1 (1 mark) The methods that a firm can use to evaluate a potential investment: 1) ‘Discounting’ Methods: Net Present Value (NPV): the present value of the future after-tax cash flow minus the investment outlay made initially. The decision rule for the NPV as follows: invest if NPV> 0‚ do not invest if NPV< 0 Internal Rate of Return (IRR): calculates the interest rate that equates the present value of the future after-tax cash flows equal that investment outlay;

been set up in a dynamic approach. This means that the four underlying scenarios (25 years with and without tax and 15 years with and without tax) are linked to separate sheets‚ which enables the user of the model to calculate the net present value (NPV) for the different scenarios with ease. This is why we refrain from explaining every single step of the underlying calculation. In order to get a more detailed understanding of the various calculations‚ the reader of this analysis is welcome to have

methods used as being the Net Present value (NPV) method‚ the Internal Rate of Return (IRR) method‚ the Payback method‚ and the Accounting Rate of Return (ARR) method. Conversely‚ Brealey‚ Myers and Allen (2011) proposes that the NPV and IRR methods are considered prestige compared to the ARR and the Payback Methods‚ as they take into account the time value of money. Thus‚ the following project evaluation will focus on using the NPV and IRR methods. NPV Method: The Net Present Value method discounts

“Internal rate of return (IRR) is the discount rate that gives the project a zero NPV” (McLaney‚ 2006). It is a good choice to use for investment projects. There is a formula for the internal rate of return: (A is the lower discount rate and B is the higher rate‚ a is the NPV at the lower rate and b is the NPV at the higher rate.) For example the Net Present Value (NPV) is 88 when the discount rate is 20%‚ and the NPV is 12 when the discount rate is 30%. Therefore the IRR in this situation is 28
