NPV is the acronym for net present value. Net present value is a calculation that compares the amount invested today to the present value of the future cash receipts from the investment. In other words, the amount invested is compared to the future cash amounts after they are discounted by a specified rate of return. So what it means is the net present value will be 165 in three years. Please email me at andrew@parkermcqueen.com with any other question.
What else can I help you with?
What if your firm is considering a project that will cost 4.55 million upfront generate cash flows of 5 million per year for three years and then have a cleanup and shutdown cost of 6 million in the f?
Your firm is considering a project that will cost $4.55 million upfront, generate cash flows of $5 million per year for three years, and then have a cleanup and shutdown cost of $6 million in the fourth year. Assume a discount rate of 10% per annum, what is the NPV of this project? a. None of the other answers are true. b. The NPV of this project is $3.44 million. c. The NPV of this project is $3.34 million. d. The NPV of this project is $10.89 million.
Should a negative NPV project be accepted?
A negative NPV (Net Present Value) project should generally not be accepted, as it indicates that the project's expected cash flows, discounted for risk and time, do not exceed the initial investment. Accepting such a project would lead to a decrease in the firm's value and shareholder wealth. It's essential to consider alternative investments that yield a positive NPV to maximize returns. However, in certain strategic situations, a negative NPV project might be considered if it aligns with long-term goals or market positioning.
When would you accept IRR and NPV?
You would accept a project if its Internal Rate of Return (IRR) exceeds the required rate of return or cost of capital, indicating that the project is expected to generate value. Additionally, if the Net Present Value (NPV) is positive, it suggests that the project's cash flows, discounted at the required rate, are greater than the initial investment, making it financially viable. In summary, accept the project if both IRR is above the threshold and NPV is positive.
When Projects are mutually exclusive which project should be selected using npv and risk level?
Problems with project ranking: 1. Mutually exclusive projects of unequal size (the size disparity problem) - the NPVdecision may not agree with the IRR or PI. Solution: select the project with the larges NPV (not IRR). 2. The time disparity problem with mutually exclusive projects - NPV and PI assume cash flows are reinvested at the required rate of return for the project. IRR assumes cash flows are reinvested at the IRR. NPV decision may not agree with the IRR. Solution: select the project with the largest NPV. A good method to evaluate and rank project better is to use the Equivalent Annual Annuity (EAA) method. This is like calculating for PMT when doing TVM. It simply means, you will be getting that amount as an inflow each year or period. Therefore, you would want to choose the highest figure.
The net present value and profitability index methods to give consistent accept-reject decisions?
Yes, The PI and NPV always give the same decisions to accept or reject the projects. The Project's PI will be greater than 1.00 if the NPV is positive and PI will be less than 1.00 if the NPV is negative
Why the NPV of a relatively long term project is more sensitive to changes in the cost of capital than is the NPV of a short term project?
due to the uncertainty

For the NPV criteria a project is acceptable if the NPV is while for the profitability index a project is acceptable if the profitability index is?
less than zero, greater than the requred return
When a project npv exceeds zero?
When a project's Net Present Value (NPV) exceeds zero, it indicates that the projected earnings (in present value terms) from the project surpass the expected costs, also in present value terms. This suggests that the project is likely to generate value for the investors and is considered a good investment opportunity. A positive NPV implies that the project is expected to contribute to the overall wealth of the stakeholders. Consequently, it is generally recommended to proceed with projects that have an NPV greater than zero.
Should a negative NPV project be accepted?
A negative NPV (Net Present Value) project should generally not be accepted, as it indicates that the project's expected cash flows, discounted for risk and time, do not exceed the initial investment. Accepting such a project would lead to a decrease in the firm's value and shareholder wealth. It's essential to consider alternative investments that yield a positive NPV to maximize returns. However, in certain strategic situations, a negative NPV project might be considered if it aligns with long-term goals or market positioning.
Why would a project have a negative NPV?
because, AMERICA!I'm a free man!
IRR VS NPV?
IRR: Internal rate return NPV: Net present value Both are measure of the viability of a project(s) You can have multiple IRR (because of discontinued cash flows) but you always have one NPV.
If the opportunity cost of capital for a project exceeds the projects IRR then the project has a NPV negative?
If the opportunity cost of capital for a project exceeds the Project's IRR, then the project has a(n)
Which one of the following indicates that a project is expected to create value for its owners?
Positive NPV
