Explanation / Answer

1. operating cash flow=

1 2 3

sales 7500000 13125000 6400000

Less:

Variale cost 6000000 9000000 4800000

Fixed cost 50000 50000 50000

Depreciation 1366667 1366667 1366667

cash flow 83333 2708333 183333

Less tax 33333.2 1083333.2 73333.2

cash flow 49999.8 1624999.8 109999.8

net cash flow 1416666.8 2991666.8 1476666.8


2.NPV

1 2 3

Net inflow 1416666.8*0.885 2991666.8 *.783 1476666.8*.693

Total inflow =year 1 +year2+year3

=4619555.3148

NPV=4619555.3148-4535000=84555


IRR 14.08%


3. accept the project..Because NPV is positive


4. accept the poroject.. Because IRR is more than company's cost of capital..


5. finally accept the project.because NPV is positive and also IRR is also more than cost of capital


6.pabyback period=

cumulative inflows

1. 1416666.8

2. 4408333.6

3. 5885000.4

payback=2 year+[(4535000-4408333.6)/1476666.8]*12=2year 1 month

no..
