A project has an initial investment of 1000. You have come up with the following estimates of the project's cash flows (there are no taxes): | | Pessimistic | Most Likely | Optimistic | |---|---|---|---| | Revenues | 100 | 600 | 1200 | | Costs | 70 | 400 | 600 | Suppose the cash flows are considered as perpetual and the cost of capital is 20 percent. Conduct a sensitivity analysis of the project's NPV to variations in revenues.

Step 1
First, we need to calculate the Net Present Value (NPV) for the most likely scenario. The NPV formula is: NPV = ∑ [Rt / (1+i)^t] - C0, where Rt is the net cash inflow during the period t, i is the discount rate or rate of return, and C0 is the initial Show more…

What is the NPV for the following project if its cost of capital is 12 percent and its initial after tax cost is $5,000,000 and it is expected to provide after-tax operating cash flows of $1,800,000 in year 1, $1,900,000 in year 2, $1,700,000 in year 3 and ($1,300,000) in year 4?

a project needs an initial investment of $400,000. The expected of the next net cash flow at the end of next 4 years are $120,000, $130,000, $140,000 and $200,000 respectively. You require a minimum return of 15% to take the project. Calculate the NPV. Go or No go with the project
Consider a capital expenditure project that has forecasted revenues equal to $32,000 per year; cash expenses are estimated to be $29,000 per year. The cost of the project equipment is $23,000, and the equipment's estimated salvage value at the end of the project is $9,000. The equipment's $23,000 cost will be depreciated on a straightline basis to $0 over a 10-year estimated economic life. Assume that the project requires an initial $7,000 working capital investment. The company's marginal tax rate is 30%. Calculate the project's net present value using a 12% discount rate.
