    Able ltd is considering a new project for which the following information is available
    Initial cost – $300000
    Expected life – 5 years
    Estimated scrap Value – $20000
    Additional revenue from the project – $120000 per year
    Incremental costs of the project – 30000 per year
    Cost of capital – 10 %

    Calculate the Net Present Value of the project (to the nearest $)

    There is an outflow of 300,000 at time 0.

    There is an inflow of 120,000 – 30,000 = 90,000 a year for 5 years, so discount this by using the 5 year annuity discount factor at 10%.

    There is an inflow of 20,000 in 5 years time, so discount this using the normal 5 year present value factor.

    Have you watched my free lectures on this? The lectures are a complete free course for Paper F2 and cover everything needed to be able to pass the exam well.

    90000 discounted at 10% annuity for 5 years = 341190
    20000 discounted at 10% normal present value= = 12420
    Therefore NPV= 341190 + 12420
    = 353610
    Is it correct ? Or we also need to add 300000 (initial investment) ?

    “IRR and NVP will give same accept or reject investment decisions when cash flows are conventional.
    What is meant by the above statement ?
    And why IRR and NVP will not give same decisions when cash flows are not conventional?
    I dont understand what is conventional and unconventional cash flow?

    You subtract the initial investment to get the NPV – it is an outflow!!

    Otherwise it seems correct. Have you watched the free lectures?
