Question

(Part 1)

Using a 4.5% discount rate, calculate the Net Present Value, Payback, Profitability Index, and IRR for each of the investment projects below (note, the inflows are for each year). Based on your calculations rank the projects and support your answer.

Project 1

Initial Invest=$490,000, Cash inflows of $100,000 for years 1-5 and $50,000 for years 6-10.

Project 2

Initial Invest=$970,000, Cash inflows of $400,000 for years 1-3, $0 for years 4-7 and $250,000 for years 8-10

Project 3

Initial Invest=$820,000, Cahs inflows of $300,000 for years 1-5, $0 for years 6-9 and $100,000 for year 10

(Part 2)

Assuming a budget of $1,100,000 what are your recommendations for the three projects in the above problem? Explain.

Assuming a budget of $2,200,000 what are your recommendations for the above problem? Explain.

Explanation / Answer

Using a 4.5% discount rate, calculate the Net Present Value, Payback, Profitability Index, and IRR for each of the investment projects below (note, the inflows are for each year). Based on your calculations rank the projects and support your answer.

Project 1

Initial Invest=$490,000, Cash inflows of $100,000 for years 1-5 and $50,000 for years 6-10.

NPV = -490000 + 100000*(1-(1+4.5%)^-5)/4.5%  + (50000*(1-(1+4.5%)^-5)/4.5% )*(1+4.5%)^-5

NPV = $ 125,134.75

Payback Period = Initial Invest/Annual Cash Inflow

Payback Period = 490000/100000

Payback Period = 4.9 Years

Profitability Index = (1+ NPV/Initial Investment)

Profitability Index = (1+ 125134.75/490000)

Profitability Index = 1.2554

IRR = irr(values)

IRR = irr({-490000,100000,100000,100000,100000,100000,50000,50000,50000,50000,50000})

IRR = 10.38%

Project 2

Initial Invest=$970,000, Cash inflows of $400,000 for years 1-3, $0 for years 4-7 and $250,000 for years 8-10

NPV = -970000 + 400000*(1-(1+4.5%)^-3)/4.5%  + (250000*(1-(1+4.5%)^-3)/4.5% )*(1+4.5%)^-7

NPV = $ 634590.1

Payback Period = Initial Invest/Annual Cash Inflow

Payback Period = 970000/400000

Payback Period = 2.425Years

Profitability Index = (1+ NPV/Initial Investment)

Profitability Index = (1+ 634590.1/970000)

Profitability Index = 1.6542

IRR = irr(values)

IRR = irr({-970000,400000,400000,400000,0,0,0,0,250000,250000,250000})

IRR = 20.83%

Project 3

Initial Invest=$820,000, Cahs inflows of $300,000 for years 1-5, $0 for years 6-9 and $100,000 for year 10

NPV = -820000 + 300000*(1-(1+4.5%)^-5)/4.5%  + 100000*(1+4.5%)^-10

NPV = $ 561,385.79

Payback Period = Initial Invest/Annual Cash Inflow

Payback Period = 820000/300000

Payback Period = 2.73 Years

Profitability Index = (1+ NPV/Initial Investment)

Profitability Index = (1+ 561,385.79/820000)

Profitability Index = 1.6846

IRR = irr(values)

IRR = irr({-820000,300000,300000,300000,300000,300000,0,0,0,0,100000})

IRR = 24.86%

Answer

Project Rank as per NPV Rank as per Payback Rank as per Profitable Index Rank as per IRR Project 1 3 3 3 3 Project 2 1 1 2 2 Project 3 2 2 1 1
