the resulting $25‚517 NPV shown in Part 5 is called the base-case NPV. Now we ask a series of "what if" questions: "What if unit sales falls 30 percent below the most likely level?" In our sensitivity analysis we hold the other variables at their base case levels and then examine the situation when the key variables change. Each new calculated NPV is plotted on the graph in Part 6 to show how sensitive NPV is to changes in each variable. The table below outlines the NPV figures that we used to

NPV of A = $211‚305 NPV of B = $401‚592.64 IRR of A = 16.33% IRR of B = 15.99% b. The later cash flow of B causes its lower IRR even though it has the higher NPV. c. B should be accepted because it is the mutually exclusive project with the highest positive NPV. Keywords: NPV‚ IRR

recession‚ and as a result interest rates and money costs generally are relatively low. The WACC for two mutually exclusive projects that are being considered is 8%. Project S has an IRR of 20% while Project L ’s IRR is 15%. The projects have the same NPV at the 8% current WACC. However‚ you believe that the economy is about to recover‚ and money costs and thus your WACC will also increase. You also think that the projects will not be funded until the WACC has increased‚ and their cash flows will not

Calculating Returns Suppose a stock had an initial price of $92 per share‚ paid a dividend of $1.45 per share during the year‚ and had an ending share price of $104. Compute the percentage total return. The return of any asset is the increase in price‚ plus any dividends or cash flows‚ all divided by the initial price. The return of this stock is: R = [($104 – 92) + 1.45] / $92 R = 0.1462 or 14.62% Calculating Returns Rework the problem above‚ but this time assuming the ending

By using the NPV calculation‚ Western is only using the known information in an all or nothing scenario. While useful in passive investing‚ such as the bond market‚ this type of calculation leaves out many factors in the budgeting for projects.
