Hi John,
In this question they are asking to calculate the NPV of 3 different projects and then using divisible/non divisible approaches see which projects should be accepted.
In the scenario for both projects 1 & 2 the commentary states that the costs are in money terms - this suggests to me that they are already inflated.
Exact wording -
Project 1 - Savings in labour costs from these assessments in money terms are expected to be as follows...
Projects 2 - An investment of $450k in individual workstations for staff that is expected to reduce admin costs by $140.8k per annum in money terms for the next 5 years
I did not inflate these costs as it said they were in money terms but the answer in the back of the book has?
I thought that money terms is the same as nominal terms and includes inflation but current price terms needs inflating!
Thanks for the help
Graham

Basril Co - not a past exam question
Apologies John, you can ignore.
I still need to discount and got confused with inflation and discounting
Thanks

I am pleased you are now clear (I started to answer your first post before reading your second post, so I was very puzzled :-) )
It is actually a past exam question (from December 2003).
