. Use the NPV to decide which of the two projects Vita Nova should accept for Fall 2020 if the projects are independent:
Years Project 1 Project 2
0 -$7,300 -$4,390
1 $3,940 $2,170
2 $3,450 $2,210
3 $2,480 $1,730
Assume the required rate of return is 15%.
Calculation of NPV at required rate of return is 15%.
PROJECT 1
Year | Inflows | PV factor@15% | Present Value |
1 | 3940 | 0.8696 | 3426 |
2 | 3450 | 0.7561 | 2609 |
3 | 2480 | 0.6575 | 1631 |
7666 |
Net Present Value = Total Present value of inflows - Initial investment
Here Initial investment of Project 1= 7300, Present value of inflows = 7666
NPV of PROJECT 1 = 7666 - 7300 = 366
PROJECT 2
Year | Inflows | PV factor@15% | Present Value |
1 | 2170 | 0.8696 | 1887 |
2 | 2210 | 0.7561 | 1671 |
3 | 1730 | 0.6575 | 1137 |
4695 |
Net Present Value = Total Present value of inflows - Initial investment
Here Initial investment of Project 2 = 4390, Present value of inflows = 4695
NPV of PROJECT 2 = 4695- 4390 = 305
Since NPV is higher, Project 1 can be accepted.
