Hello sir
 Initial investment 1 million cash inflow year 1- 750000
 Inflow year 2 -500000
 Cost of capital year1-10%
 Cost of capital year 2-15%
 Calculate NPV of project?
What they did is-
 750000* year 1Df(.909) =681750
 Now
 .909*.870 = .79*500000=395415
 So npv 77000(nearest)
But why would we do this ?
 Is there any other alternative?
 Thanks sir
For the inflow at time 1, we discount for 1 year at 10%.
For the inflow at time 2, we need to discount for 2 years – for one of the 2 years the interest is 10% and for the other year it is 15%, so we discount for 1 years at 10% and for one year at 15%.
There is no other way of doing it.
I explain the logic behind the discounting in my free lectures.
Thanks sir
You are welcome 🙂
