We have to calculate Net Present Value (NPV) of the product, for this we have to identify the inflow and outflow of the product and calculate their NPV
The below mentioned outflow related to product are:
1. Market Research Study - $1,00,000
2. Advertising Campaign - $ 90,000
3. Manufacturing Equipment - $ 3,30,000
Present Value of the above outflows are :
1. Market Research Study Conducted last year so we have to calculate its Present Value i.e. $1,00,000 * 1.06 = $1,06,000
2. Advertising Campaign required immediate implementation so the present value will be same as actual cost i.e. $ 90,000
3. Manufacturing Equipment has to be purchased now so the cost of the equipment will be the present value i.e. $ 3,30,000 because it has no disposal value after 4 years.
So Present Value of total out flows are 106000+90000+330000 = $ 5,26,000
Now we have to calculate present value of Inflows that are as under:
Profit from the sales of the product are expected to be $ 163000 in first two years and $ 103000 in last two years so the discounting cash inflows are calculated as follows:(Assuming the profits stated are profit after tax so we have to add back Depreciation to the profit because of Non Cash expenditure and Deprecation is calculated on straight line method i.e. 330000/4 = $82,500 Per Year)
Hence the cash inflow will be increased by $82,500 per year
YEAR CASH INFLOW DISCOUNTING FACTOR PRESENT VALUE
1 245500 1/1.06 = 0.9434 231605
2 245500 1/(1.06*1.06) = 0.890 218495
3 185500 1/(1.06*1.06*1.06)=0.8396 155746
4 185500 1/(1.06*1.06*1.06*1.06)=0.7921 146935
Total Present Value for 4 years is $ 7,52,781
So the NPV of the product is Present Value of cash inflow - Present Value of cash outflow
$7,52,781 - $5,26,000 = $2,26,781
Note; Figures are rounded off to nearest $ whenever required.
