Consider a company with the following reported net income (i.e. reported sales) and accounts receivable. Compute the cash flows in each of the three years and report the NPV of these cash flows. Use a 8.5% discount rate. Assume Accounts Receivable in year 0 is $0.
Year | 1 | 2 | 3 |
Net Income | $836 | $808 | $767 |
Accounts Receivable | $131 | $222 | $201 |
Year | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | Total |
Net Income | 0 | 836 | 808 | 767 | |
Account receivable | 0 | 131 | 222 | 201 | |
Change in receivables | 131 | 91 | -21 | ||
Cashflows | 0 | 705 | 717 | 788 | |
(836-131) | (808-91) | (767+21) | |||
Discount factor at 8.5% | 0.9217 | 0.8495 | 0.7829 | ||
Present value at 8.5% | 649.77 | 609.06 | 616.93 | 1,875.76 | |
So NPV of the cashflows are $1875.76 |
