Crossover rate is the rate at which the Net Present Value of both the projects is equal.
We know that NPV is equal to
where n is the life of the project
r is the discounting rate
We have to determine r at which NPV of both projects is equal. So,
=
solving both sides, we get
= 0
In order to calculate r, we have to apply trial and error method.
That, is calculate NPV at two rates and then use a formula to calculate r.
So, assuming r = 15%, we get
Cash Flow | Present Value Factor | Present Value | |
1 | 2300 | 0.8696 | 2000 |
2 | 2600 | 0.7561 | 1965.97 |
3 | -6000 | 0.6575 | -3945.10 |
NPV | 20.88 |
assuming r = 14%, we get
Cash Flow | Present Value Factor | Present Value | |
1 | 2300 | 0.8772 | 2017.54 |
2 | 2600 | 0.7695 | 2000.62 |
3 | -6000 | 0.6750 | -4049.83 |
NPV | -31.67 |
Formula to calculate r =
r = 14.60%
Note: Present Value Factors are calculated as
=0.8696
=
0.7561
=0.6575
=0.8772
=0.7695
=
0.6750
