Question

Following is information on an investment considered by Hudson Co. Assume the investment has a salvage value of $20,000. The company requires a 12% return from its investments. Investment A1 Initial investment ($200,000 ) Expected net cash flows in year (excluding salvage value): 1 100,000 2 90,000 3 75,000 Compute the investment's net present value. (FV of $1, PV of $1, FVA of $1 and PVA of $1) (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided. Round all present value factors to 4 decimal places.)

Answer 1

Answer:

net present value is

$228,652.29-$200,000.00

=$28,652.29.

Explanation:

Net cashflows

Year 1= 100000

Year 2= 90000

Year 3= 95000 (75000+ 20000)

Totals= 285000

Present value at 12%

Formula for present value=

1/(1+r)^n

where r= interest rate

n= number of years

Year 1=1/(1+0.12)^1 =0.8929

Year 2=1/(1+0.12)^2= 0.7972

Year 3=1/(1+0.12)^3 =0.7118

Present value of net cash flows =

Present value × net cash flows.

Year 1= 0.8929 × 100000= $89,285.71

Year 2=0.7972 ×90000= $71,747.45

Year 3=0.7118×95000= $67,619.12

Totals = $228,652.29

Amount invested= $(200,000.00)

Net present value (NPV) is referred to as the difference between the present value of cash inflows and the present value of cash outflows over a period of time. Net Present Value is used in capital budgeting and investment planning to analyze the profitability of a projected investment or project.

Therefore, net present value is

$228,652.29-$200,000.00

=$28,652.29.
