ABSTRACT This report describes capital budgeting techniques such as NPV (The NPV of an investment is the difference between its market value and its cost‚ IRR (The IRR is the discount rate that makes the estimated NPV of an investment equal to zero. PAYBACK (The payback period is the length of time until the sum of an investment’s cash flows equals its cost)‚ discounted payback period (The discounted payback period is the length of time until the sum of an investment’s discounted cash flows equals

indicator that buying the vessels is not a good idea. The tax rate of 35% makes a lot of difference in determining this NPV.

If it were possible‚ or known‚ the tax rate on the salvage it might be more feasible to buy the vessel‚ and end up with a positive NPV. The effect of taxes on EBIT and thereby NPV is easily seen in our analysis numbers. As taxes remain steady and profits from operations falls‚ the prudence of the investment

Harris Case Analysis Objective: Should Harris invest into the shrimp processing plant? Issues: 1. Will this processing plant have a value today that is greater than or equal to the cost today? -If the NPV of the plant is greater than zero‚ then we should move forward with the investment. NPV Analysis: Value> Cost Value: PV: Value right now PV= forecast of future cash returns (FCR) -We used FCR to determine how much cash we get back and can deem the plan a good investment if we can bring
