Suppose that the average daily float of a company is Rs. 3 million with a weighted average delay of 5 days. What is the total amount unavailable to earn interest? What is the NPV of a project that could reduce the above delay by 3 days if the cost is Rs. 8 million?
Given,
Average daily float = Rs. 3 million
Weighted average delay = 5 days
Reduction in delay = 3 days
Cost = Rs. 8 million
Solution :-
Total amount unavailable to earn interest = Average daily float x Weighted average delay
= Rs. 3 million x 5 days = Rs. 15 million
Immediate cash inflow = Average daily float x reduction in delay
= Rs. 3 million x 3 days = Rs. 9 million
NPV of the project = Immediate cash inflow - cost
= Rs. 9 million - Rs. 8 million = Rs. 1 million
