NPV Calculate the net present value (NPV) for a 15-year project with an initial investment of $1,000,000 and a cash inflow of $150,000
per year. Assume that the firm has an opportunity cost of 9%.
Comment on the acceptability of the project.
The project's net present value is $____. (Round to the nearest cent.)
Present value of inflows=cash inflow*Present value of discounting factor(rate%,time period)
=150,000/1.09+150,000/1.09^2+150,000/1.09^3+150,000/1.09^4+150,000/1.09^5+150,000/1.09^6+150,000/1.09^7+150,000/1.09^8+150,000/1.09^9+150,000/1.09^10+150,000/1.09^11+150,000/1.09^12+150,000/1.09^13+150,000/1.09^14+150,000/1.09^15
=1209103.27
NPV=Present value of inflows-Present value of outflows
=1209103.27-1,000,000
=$209103.27(Approx)
Hence since NPV is positive;project must be accepted
