8y ago#1There 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?
8y ago#4You subtract the initial investment to get the NPV - it is an outflow!!
Otherwise it seems correct. Have you watched the free lectures?
