NPV,IRR AND PAYBACK PERIOD
10y ago#1You must watch the free lectures on investment appraisal to see how to calculate NPV, ARR, and payback period - I cannot type out the entire lectures here.
For NPV and payback, the cash flows are:
0 (300,000)
1 - 5 90,000 per year (120,000 - 30,000) (The incremental costs are 30,000,not 300,000)
5 20,000 (scrap)
For ARR, the average profit per year = 120,000 - 30,000 - ((300,000 - 20,000)/5) (the depreciation), and the average capital employed = (300,000 + 20,000) / 2
