Question

Oak enterprises accepts projects earnings more than the firms 13% cost of capital. Oak is currently considering a 10 year project that provides annual cash inflows of 35,000 and requires an initial investment of $218900(all amounts are after taxes) 1) the projects IRR is ...% 2) is the project acceptable yes or no? 3) assuming that the cash inflows continue to be 35,000 per year the number of additional years the flows would have to continue to make the project acceptable at the 13% discount rate is .... Additional years ( round two decimal places) 4) with the given life, initial investment, and cost of capital, the minimum annual cash inflow that the firm should accept is ....

Explanation / Answer

1

Calculation of IRR of the project:

At IRR, the NPV of the project should be Zero

Lets calculate IRR using trial and error method

Taking 10% as discount rate :

Annual Cash inflow (A)

35000

Term (Years)

10

Rate (Assumed )

10%

PVF (10%, 10 years) (B)

             6.14457

Present value of cash inflow = A*B

$    215,059.85

Less: Initial Investment

$ (218,900.00)

Net Present value (NPV)

$      (3,840.15)

NPV at 10% discount rate is negative

Hence we should take lower discount rate

Taking 9% as discount rate :

Annual Cash inflow (A)

35000

Term (Years)

10

Rate (Assumed )

8%

PVF (9%, 10 years) (B)

             6.41766

Present value of cash inflow = A*B

$    224,618.02

Less: Initial Investment

$ (218,900.00)

Net Present value (NPV)

$        5,718.02

Now we get NPV positive at 9% discount rate

So we can say IRR is in between 9 % and 10%

Now we can calculate exact IRR as under:

NPV

Rate

At 9% discount rate

$        5,718.02

9%

At 10% discount rate

$     (3,840.15)

10%

Difference

$        9,558.17

1%

IRR   = 9% + 1% * (5718.02 / 9558.17) =

9.60%

2

Project is not acceptable because the IRR (9.60%) is less than minimum required rate (13%)

3

Calculation of Additional years:

Assuming 3 additional years

IRR should be equal to 13% and hence NPV should be zero.

Taking 3 Additional years :

Annual Cash inflow (A)

35000

Term (Years)

13

Rate (Assumed )

13%

PVF (13%, 13 years) (B)

             6.12181

Present value of cash inflow = A*B

$    214,263.40

Less: Initial Investment

$ (218,900.00)

Net Present value (NPV)

$      (4,636.60)

NPV at 13 years is negative

Hence we should take one more year

Taking 4 Additional years :

Annual Cash inflow (A)

35000

Term (Years)

14

Rate (Assumed )

13%

PVF (13%, 13 years) (B)

             6.30249

Present value of cash inflow = A*B

$    220,587.08

Less: Initial Investment

$ (218,900.00)

Net Present value (NPV)

$        1,687.08

Now we get NPV positive at 14 years

Now we can calculate exact additional term :

NPV

Years

At 3 additional years

$      (4,636.60)

13

At 4 additional years

$        1,687.08

14

Difference

$        6,323.68

           1

Additional years = 3 + 1 * (4646.60 / 6323.68)

                    3.73

Years

4

Calculation of Minimum Annual Cash Flows:

Initial Investment (A)

$    218,900.00

Term (Years)

10

Cost of Capital / required rate

13%

PVF (13%, 10 years ) (B)

             5.42624

Minimum Annual Cash Flows =A/B =

$      40,340.98
