Ask the Tutor ACCA AFM

net present value

Ppatricia4y ago
if a mistake in estimating the NPV of a project is made. where the net income is discounted rather than the cash flows to the project. Would you expect the NPV that you have calculated to be higher or lower than the NPV using cash flows? why is there a difference

The net income is the profit which is after charging depreciation. The NPV is therefore likely to be lower than that had they used the cash flows. Why are you asking me this? It is not the sort of thing that is asked in the AFM exam.
