Q.1: Calculate the payback period of each project.
For Project A
Year | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 |
Project A | -57,000 | 20,000 | 20,000 | 20,000 | 20,000 |
The formula of Payback period is,
PP=Io/Ct
PP=57,000/20,000
PP=2.85years
For Project B
Year | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 |
Project B | -54000 | 22,000 | 20,000 | 18,000 | 16,000 |
Payback period is lies between year 2 and year 3 .Sum of money recovered by the end of the second year
= (22,000+20,000)
= 42,000
=54,000 – 42000
= 12,000
PP= (2+12,000/18,000)
PP=2.67years
Q.2: Calculate the Net present value (NPV) of each project.
For Project A
Year | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 |
Project A | -57,000 | 20,000 | 20,000 | 20,000 | 20,000 |
NPV=Cf [(1/i-1/i (1+i)]-Ct
NPV=20,000[(1/.14 - 1/.14 (1+.14) ^4)]-57,000
NPV=20,000[(7.1429 – 1/ 0.2365)] – 57,000
NPV=20,000 (7.1429 – 4.2283) – 57,000
NPV= 20,000 *(2.9146) – 57000
NPV=58291 – 57,000
NPV=1291
For Project B
Year | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 |
Project B | -54000 | 22,000 | 20,000 | 18,000 | 16,000 |
NPV= [Cf1/ (1+i) + Cf2/ (1+i) ^2+ Cf3/ (1+i) ^3+ Cf4/ (1+i) ^4] -Ct
NPV= [22,000 / (1+.14) +20,000/ (1+.14) ^2+18,000/ (1+.14) ^3+16,000 / (1+.14) ^4] - 54000
NPV=19298+15389+12150+9473-54000
NPV=56310 – 54000...
