Question- Hebac co
Question is asking to calculate the nominal NPV but if the requirement ask to calculate Real NPV then what happen to working capital bcoz the Question given the working capital inflation .So How to do that if REAL NPV IS ASKED ?
Usually we take the CF and deflated at general rate of inflation then include the tax and tax benifit then discounted at real discount rate bit confusing what to do with the WC if Real NPV is asked
Thanks in advance
We would discount the real cash flows at the real cost of capital.
To get the real cash flows (i.e. the flows without inflation) you would deflate all of the nominal cash flows (including the working capital) at the general rate of inflation.
To get the real cost of capital (if not given in the question) you use the Fisher formula as explained in my free lectures.
