Consider the following two mutually exclusive projects:
Whichever project you choose, if any, you require a 10% return on your investment.
Present Value = Future value/ ((1+r)^t) | ||||||||
where r is the interest rate that is 10% and t is the time period in years. | ||||||||
Net present value (NPV) = initial investment + sum of present values of future cash flows. | ||||||||
Internal rate of return (IRR) is the interest rate for which the NPV is zero. | ||||||||
Use the financial formulas in excel to calculate the IRR. | ||||||||
PROJECT A | ||||||||
Year | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | |||
cash flow | -170000 | 30000 | 20000 | 15000 | 380000 | |||
present value | 27272.73 | 16528.93 | 11269.72 | 259545.1 | ||||
NPV | 144616.5 | |||||||
Payback period | 3.829 | |||||||
IRR | 31% | |||||||
PROJECT B | ||||||||
Year | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | |||
cash flow | -18000 | 15000 | 10000 | 3000 | 3000 | |||
present value | 13636.36 | 8264.463 | 2253.944 | 2049.04 | ||||
NPV | 8203.811 | |||||||
Payback period | 1.3 | |||||||
IRR | 38% | |||||||
a) If you apply the payback criterion, you would choose project B because | ||||||||
it has a smaller payback period of 1.3 years compared to project A that has a | ||||||||
payback period of 3.829 years. | ||||||||
b) If you apply the NPV criterion, you would choose project A because it has a | ||||||||
higher NPV. | ||||||||
c) If you apply the IRR criterion, you would choose project B because it has a higher IRR | ||||||||
compared to the IRR of project A. | ||||||||
d) Based on the answers from a through c, you would choose project B over project A because | ||||||||
project B has a smaller payback period and a higher IRR. |
