PROFESSOR WALTER WITHAM MARCH 18‚ 2013 Summary Part I: Net Present Value (NPV) method is one of the most important methods which is used to make capital budgeting decisions by almost every company. NPV method is important because it helps financial managers to maximize shareholders’ wealth by making better capital budgeting decisions. Suppose Google (http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=goog&ql=1)

and analyzing NPV‚ payback‚ IRR‚ and MIRR for each alternative. Analysis indicates that developing the technologies is more optimal as it outperforms the alternative in all measures. Among all measurements‚ we believe NPV to be the most effective. The details of our analysis are documented below. NPV (Net Present Value) measures the expected change in wealth from undertaking the project. The NPV of purchasing is $60.34 million and $93.23 million for developing the technologies. NPV is the most

initial investment size. The student’s task is to rank the projects. The first objective of the case is to examine critically the principal capital-budgeting criteria. A second objective is to consider the problem that arises when net present value (NPV) and internal rate of return (IRR) disagree as to the ranking of two mutually exclusive projects. Finally‚ the case is a vehicle for introducing the problem created by attempting to rank projects of unequal life and the solution to that difficulty criterion

of Money” focused on the financial principles used to evaluate and determine whether to outsource manufacturing or to invest in in-house operations. The simulation depicted real-life examples of how investment choices impacts the Net present value (NPV)‚ internal rate of return (IRR)‚ and cost of capital. The objective of the simulation was to apply time value of money principles to evaluate the investment alternatives of Cracker Pop. In each of the simulation’s scenarios‚ net present value and

E - If the 4-year payback results in accepting just the right set of projects under average economic conditions‚ then this payback will result in too few long-term projects when the economy is weak 4. C - You should recommend that the project be accepted because (1) its NPV is positive and

The company can financed the new plant with only debt or only equity‚ If they use the debt to finance the NPV will increase because Kd<Ke‚ otherwise if they decided to finance themselves with equity the NPV will decrease‚ because de Ke > Kd. Also we need to analize if the NPV>0 i. Before running any numbers‚ do you expect this project to have a positive NPV based upon the underlying economics

O Despite this lacuna‚ Profit does matter for any kind of business. Ensuring continual profit ensures maximization of the shareholder’s wealth. Wealth Maximization: It is also known as value maximization or NPV maximization. This is possible only when‚ the firm pursues policies which would add the market value of the

Rate @ cost of capital | 12% | | | A: Objective: Compute payback‚ NPV and IRR to decide whether Rainbow Products should purchase the machine or not. i) Bay back: cost of machine/expected saving per year = 35000/5000 = 7 years . ii) NPV = Difference between the present value of cash inflows and the present value of cash outflows. Thus‚ NPV = -35000 + 5000* [1-(1/(1.12)^15]/.12 -35000 + 34053.31 NPV = -945.68 iii) IRR: It is that rate of interest that makes the sum
