    Time Time Time Time
    0 1 2 3-10

    C/F (600) 110 (190) 158
    11%d/f 1 .901 .812 .812
    11%a/f 5.146
    PV (600) 99.1 (154.3) 660.2
    NPV =$5m.

    This is one of the question in technical articles “Using real options when making financial strategy decisions”. My doubt is for time 3-10 the C/F entered is 158, so is that per annum or total C/F from 3rd year to 10th year is 158$.
    Secondly how did they arrive at 660.2m PV for time 3-10 and why is 5.146 used as A/F and .812 used as d/f for time 3-10.
    Please help me with this one.

    The 158 is per annum.

    There are 7 years of flows and so we use the 7 year annuity factor of 5.146. However because the annuity starts 2 years later (at time 3 instead of time 1) we then need to discount the result for 2 years at 11%.

    So the PV is 158 x 5.146 x 0.812 = 660.2

    Okay understood, but 5.146 is 8th year annuity factor, not the 7th year annuity factor.

    My mistake. Flows from time 3 to time 10 are a total of 8 years 🙂
