Analyzing NPV
Thus:
- If NPV is greater than zero, the investment is
profitable and, therefore, is acceptable.
- If NPV equals zero, the decision maker will
find acceptance or rejection of the investment
equal because the investment will earn
exactly the required rate of return.
- If NPV is less than zero, the investment
should be rejected. In this case, it is earning
less than the required rate of return.

The first step in
CASH FLOW: Step 1 calculating the
NPV is to
determine the
total cash flows
of the project.

Solution-1
The second step is
NPV of CASH FLOW: Step 2 to calculate the
present value of the
annual cash flows.

It is noted that:
While both projects offer a 20% return
evaluated by IRR,
Design B offers a NPV of $42,350 while
Design A offers a NPV of $36,300.

Example-3
Required:
1. Compute the payback period.
2. Assuming that depreciation is $14,000 per year, compute the
accounting rate of return (on total investment).
3. Compute the NPV of the test equipment.
4. Compute the IRR of the test equipment.
5. Should Kenn buy the equipment?
1-27
Solution-3
1. The payback period is $300,000/$50,000 = 6 years.
2. The accounting rate of return is ($50,000 -
$14,000)/$300,000 = 12%.
3. From Exhibit 13B-2, the discount factor for an annuity with
i at 10 percent and n at 20 years is 8.514. Thus, the NPV is
(8.514 x $50,000) - $300,000 = $125,700.
4. The discount factor associated with the IRR is 6.00
($300,000/$50,000). From Exhibit 13B-2, the IRR is
between 14 and 16 percent (using the row corresponding to
period 20).
5. Since the NPV is positive and the IRR is greater than
Kenn’s cost of capital, the test equipment is a sound
investment. This, of course, assumes that the cash flow
projections are accurate.

Murrie Medical Clinic is investigating the possibility of
investing in new blood analysis equipment. Two local
manufacturers of this equipment are being considered as
sources of the equipment. After-tax cash inflows for the two
competing projects are as follows:
Project A Project B
Initial investment $170,000 $48,000
Annual cash flows $41,352 $12,022
Life of the project 6 years 5 years
