What are the steps to calculate NPV? Estimate Cash flows (inflows & outflows). Assess riskiness of Cash Flows. Determine r = discount rate for the project. Find NPV Accept if NPV > 0 ** Note that cash flow and not profit is used to calculate NPV. When given profit, please calculate cashflow before calculating NPV. …
Net present value is the difference between an investment’s market value (in today’s dollars) and its cost (also in today’s dollars). Net present value is a measure of how much value (in dollars) is created by undertaking this investment An investment should be accepted if the NPV is positive and rejected if it is …
If IRR > r, then the project’s rate of return is greater than its cost– some return is left over to boost shareholders’ returns. Example: r = 10%, IRR = 15% –> Accept project since return is more than costTherefore, IRR Acceptance Criteria: If IRR > r, accept project. If IRR < r, reject project. …
The discount rate which makes the Present value of the Project’s Future Cash flows equal to the cost of the Project. A project is accepted if its IRR is > the required rate of return. Generally found by trial and error, interpolation method or financial calculator. IRR is the discount rate that forces PV inflows …

NPV and IRR always lead to the same accept/reject decision for independent projects When IRR> WACC –> this implies that the return is more than the cost and hence one should accept the project When NPV > 0 (represented by the blue line) –>this implies that the shareholder’s return is positive and hence the project has to be accepted. Vice versa …
What is Sunk Cost? Do you include it in cashflow when calculating NPV? What is Sunk Costs? Sunk costs are unavoidable (incurred in the past) cash outflows, no longer relevant to influencing whether a project should be undertaken. Hence, sunk cost should be ignored. Example$10,000 payment to be made to a marketing company for assessing …

The value of an asset is a function of: The cash flows generated by the asset, and The appropriate discount rate applied to these cash flows PV = FV / (1+r) ^n where PV is present value, FV is future value and r is the discount rate Hence a firm can be valued by : …
The market value of a share is the present value of all expected net cash flows to be received from the share, discounted at a rate of return that reflects the riskiness of those cash flows. The expected net cash flows to be received from a share are all future dividends. Dividend growth is an …
