16. Notational Inc. is considering installing a new server. The machine costs $100,000 and is expected to have a useful economic life of 8 years, after which it will have a book value of $0. In addition to the equipment costs, management expects installation costs of $10,000 and an initial outlay for net working capital of $12,000. The new server is expected to generate an additional $10,000 per year in earnings after tax over its useful life, but an additional $5,000 per year is required in net working capital. Net working capital will be recovered at the end of 8 years. Assume that National has a cost of capital of 10%. Calculate the NPV and IRR for this project.
We will First find out NPV of the project in our excel calculations. For that we need to find PV factor for each year.
Formula to find out PV factor = 1 / (1+(R/100))n
Where R is our rate of interest and n being the year for which discounting is done.
Rate of Interest/ Cost of Capital = 10%
Formula for IRR is
PV of Outflow = Inflow1/(1+IRR/100)1+......+Inflow N / (1+IRR/100)n
Where IRR is our rate of return and n being the no of Periods.
IRR is the rate of return which is earned during the lifetime of Investment in the Project.
Let see the excel calculations for NPV & IRR
Our NPV is -$71066.99 and IRR is -12.90%.
