The rationale behind the NPV method is straightforward: if a project has NPV = $0, then the project generates exactly enough cash flows (1) to recover the cost of the investment and (2) to enable investors to earn their required rates of return (the opportunity cost of capital). If NPV = $0, then in a financial (but not an accounting) sense, the project breaks even. If the NPV is positive, then more than enough cash flow is generated, and conversely if NPV is negative.
Consider franchise L 's cash inflows, which total $150. They are sufficient (1) to return the $100 initial investment, (2) to provide investors with their 10 percent aggregate opportunity cost of capital, and (3) to still have $18.79 left over on a present value basis. This

If the franchises are mutually exclusive, then franchise S should be chosen over L, because s adds more to the value of the firm.
a. Capital budgeting is the method used to determine whether a firm should invest in a project. To determine if a project should be invested in, firms use methods such as net present value and internal rate of return to analyze the projected cash flows. Firms should choose projects that increase its

The main disadvantage of the discounted payback period is that it does not account for cash flows after the payback period. Most companies still use the payback period because it does give information in about risk and liquidity. But, it does not hold as much weight as the NPV and IRR do when deciding to pursue a project.
j. 1. Cash flows that start with an outflow then have inflows are normal cash flows. Nonnormal cash flows are cash flows that change between positive and negative cash flows more than once. Project P is an example of nonnormal cash flows.
2. Project P’s NPV is $386,777, the IRR is 25.00%, and its MIRR is 5.60%.
3. Project P has nonnormal cash flows. The project’s cash flows begin with a negative, then a positive, and ends with a negative cash flow. This project should not be accepted because its NPV is negative and its MIRR is less than the cost of capital.
k. 1. The NPV for Project S without replication is $4,132.23 and $6,190.49 for Project L. The calculated NPV does not include the cash flows of Project S when the project will be replicated. Based on these NPVs, Project L should be chosen over Project S.
2. The equivalent annual annuity for Project S is $2,380.95 and $1,952.92 for Project L. IF these projects are mutually exclusive, Project S should be accepted because its equivalent annual annuity is higher than the Project
According to the calculations, it will be impossible for the company to reach the sales goal of 12.5 million regardless of which option they choose. However the best outcome is with the option number two which is to develop an exclusive franchise agreement with existing non-exclusive dealers.
The new lift has an economic life of 20 years and we would like to make 14% on our investment. The NPV factor of 14% at 20 years is 6.6231. By multiplying our net yearly income or our annuity of $500,000 times the NPV factor of 6.6231 we will have a NPV of $3,311,550.
The two main issues in this case are the project analysis and financial forecasting. The project should be analyzed before doing the forecasting, because any recommendations on the project will affect financial forecasting for the next two years.

Using the book value D/E ratio and other relevant information as given in Exhibit 10, such as the risk free rate of 4.56% and the given risk premium of 5%, the WACC for the project was 5.62%.... ... middle of paper ... ... Clearly, all these variables play an important part in the WACC of a project and should be thoroughly examined. Despite the uncertainty and inherent risks, however, even if WACC exceeds IRR, the board may be well advised to accept the project.
The greatest risk using Discounted Cash Flow Method is all the assumptions that were made. Without knowing and having complete information this method could report underestimated or overstatement figures.
Everybody enthusiastically suggested different project. It was very heard for all of us to select the particular project but then I came up with idea that everyone shall choose 2 project names and first will get 5 points and second one will get less points. Through this way we selected the project with majority of votes. I was glad we selected the Solar system project cause we already put the idea of solar roofs in previous mini project and now we could build up the entire housings plan. This project can cover more than 20 solar based houses and recreational clubs. The major feature of this project was that the houses are independent of conventional electricity as they have electricity generated by using solar roofs moreover they have a backup source which can be used to deliver solar energy to other cities in emergency. Recreational centers and shopping centers are other associated features of our project. Unlike previous project this major project does include capital expenditure request. The purpose of this Capital Expenditure Request (CER) is to request funding approval for the construction of the project. I started on working of work break down structure, gantt chart and budget
Discounted cash flow is a valuation technique that discounts projected cash inflows and outflows to evaluate the potential value of an investment. There are three discounted cash flow methods: Net Present Value (NPV), Profitability Index (PI) and Internal Rate of Return (IRR). The net present value discounts all cash inflows and outflows at a minimum rate of return, which is usually the cost of capital. The profitability index refers to the ratio of the present value of cash inflow to the present value of cash outflows. The internal rate of return refers to the interest rate that discounts cash inflow projections to the present to ensure that the present value of cash inflows is equivalent to the present value of cash outflows (Brown, 1992).
Making an investment towards a new project/product/company is hardly a simple process. Numerous factors including costs, benefits, time, and resources need to be taken into account before a decision to pursue a new project should be ventured into. At the end of the day prioritising projects and investing funds into projects that have the most potential towards favourable return on investment should be considered. Investment appraisal should not only be used for projects with a monetary return, it is also pertinent to use the tools where the return may not be easy to quantify such as training or development programs.

In “Venture Capital” alternative, a sum of $3.5 million will be traded in exchange for 750,000 shares and 50% of the board seats, which will result in a weighted average outstanding shares of 1,375,000. Net income will come to $514,500 and EPS will be 0.29.
There is a range of criteria relevant for a decision of financing a new venture. To construct my list for the evaluation of a new company as an opportunity I have selected to refer to t...

Therefore, the amount of profit obtained is somewhat arbitrary. However, cash flow is an objective measure of cash and it is not subjected to a personal criterion. Net cash flow is the difference between cash inflows and cash outflows; that is, the cash received into the business and cash paid out of the business (Fernández, 2006). Whereas, net profit is the figure obtained after expenses or cost of resources used by the business is deducted from revenues generated from the business operations activities. Nonetheless, the figure for revenue and cash are not entirely cash, some of the items may be sold on credit and some of the expenses are not paid up
A franchise is simply investing money in a location or store, and then having the store become your own business after learning how to manage the entire business. You earn the majority of the profits, and you also don't have to worry about operations. You'll be taught by the company on how it run the entire business, and this is the reason why this is a huge and very easy way to become rich. Franchises require quite a hefty investment depending on the business you plan to buy. However, if the business is in high demand, there is profits to be made. Take for exMple the Cold Stone Creamery business. Countless people purchase one of their many franchises. The money is very good, the opportunities are endless, and the fact that there is no more need for advertising is what makes this more worth the investment in the long
