It is important to take into consideration Digitalis’ Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC). This is the average return rate that the Digitalis would expect to cover all its investors, for Digitalis this is 15%. China has the highest NPV value of £385 million, higher the NPV, the more attractive project. NPV fails

want to determine which project would be worth doing by determining if they will add value to Star. Thus, the project(s) that will add the most value to Star Appliance will be worth pursuing. The current hurdle rate of 10% should be re-evaluated by finding the weighted average cost of capital (WACC). Then by forecasting the cash flows of each project and discounting them by the WACC to find the net present value, or by solving for the internal rate of return, we should be able to see which projects
first alternative, the Net Present Value for Tottenham Hotspur plc during the past 13 year forecasted period, was calculated to be £67.68M. This calculation will encourage the stakeholders to keep the current stadium in use. While the company has a high operating current cost with Net Income coming to about 2% of total revenues.

In addition, all financial statements are prepared in the same manner, based on the Conceptual
Net present value (NPV) is used in capital budgeting to analyze the profitability of the project or investment. The internal rate of return (IRR) is annualized effective compounded rate of return. It is also described as the rate of return that makes all NPV of all cash flow from a particular project equal to zero. NPV is calculated regarding currency while IRR is expressed in percentage form, therefore, complicated. NPV takes into account the cost of capital while IRR doesn’t hence NPV makes it
