The Aubergine Corporation is considering investing in a project that requires an initial outlay of $400,000 and has a profitability index of 1.5. It is expected to generate equal annual cash flows over the next 12 years. The required return for this project is 20%. The NPV of this project is:
Net present value (NPV) = sum of present values of future cash flows - initial investment. | |
Initial investment | 400000 |
Profitability Index (PI) = sum of present values of future cash flows/initial investment | |
Profitability Index (PI) | 1.5 |
1.5 | sum of present values of future cash flows/400000 |
sum of present values of future cash flows | 400000*1.5 |
sum of present values of future cash flows | 600000 |
NPV | (600000 - 400000) |
NPV | 200000 |
The NPV of this project is $200000. |
