to invest in determinant projects. The process by which the firm decides which investment is most profitable is called capital budgeting. There are different methods by which a firm can find the economic valuation for a project: net present value (NPV)‚ internal rate of return (IRR) and profitability index (PI). Even though the firm has different evaluation methods to help it decide which project to choose‚ the decision is not always very clear. For instance‚ the future cash flows provided by the

still be a negative. The problem is what should Scott’s Miracle-Gro do. We did a NPV analysis focusing on the 4 Cost drivers for the Temecula plants which are raw materials‚ labor costs‚ electricity costs‚ and overhead costs and compared them to what it would cost in China. The NPV for the Temecula plant is $94‚826‚678 (screenshot of spreadsheet in appendix). The NPV for China mainland (offshore NPV would be close to mainland China except for initial start-up costs‚ etc..) is $90‚070‚804

Evaluate the proposal In order to evaluate the aircraft proposal we need to calculate the NPV and IRR of both the Aircraft purchasing and leasing option. Investment decisions determine the future cash flows of a company and expected future cash flows determine the value of a company. In order to calculate the NPV we first needed to get a cost of capital. We calculated the Weighted Average Cost of Capital in order to measure the firm’s cost of capital. When calculating the WACC for the Aircraft

to borrow $10‚000 from you. He has offered to pay you back $12‚000 in a year. If the cost of capital of this investment opportunity is 10%‚ what is its NPV? Should you undertake the investment opportunity? Calculate the IRR and use it to determine the maximum deviation allowable in the cost of capital estimate to leave the decision unchanged. NPV = 12000/1.1 – 10000=909.09. Take it! IRR = 12000/10000 – 1 = 20% The cost of capital can increase by up to 10% without changing the decision 8. You are

investment. The net present value (NPV) and IRR of this project is -$945.68‚ and 11.49% respectively. As the project has negative NPV and the IRR is lower than the cost of capital‚ Rainbow should not purchase the machine. b) If Rainbow pays additional $500 per year‚ Rainbow can get a service contract that keeps the machine in new condition forever. As a result‚ the net cash flows per year would be $4‚500. The NPV of this project can be calculated as follows. NPV = Initial cost + Present Value of
