On the basis of following information, you are requested to advise him which proposal he should prefer keeping in mind the NPV analysis. Support your decision with necessary calculation.

Proposal 1:

This proposal is for the period of 4 years i.e. 2009 to 2012 and the initial investment is Rs. 5000. Cash inflows are given below:



YearCash inflows (Rs.)

20092000

20103000

20114000

20123000


Proposal 2:

Other option is to invest Rs. 3000 in XYZ Corporation in the year 2009 which will provide him a steady cash inflow of Rs. 1000 for 4 years (year 2009-2012).

And the remaining Rs. 2000 in ABC Corporation in the year 2009 which will provide him a steady cash inflow of Rs. 2000 for 4 years (year 2009-2012).

Whereas, the commercial banks provide 10% return on PLS saving account.


Solution



NPV = − Io +PV (CF1) + PV (CF2) + PV (CF3) + PV (CF4) + ...+ ∞

NPV = -5000 + PV(2000) + PV(3000) + PV( 4000) + PV(3000)



NPV = -5000 + 2000/(1+.10) + 3000/(1+.10)^2 + 4000/(1+.10)^3 + 3000/(1+.10)^4

-5000+ 1818.18 + 2479.33 + 3005.25+ 2049.04 + 9351.82

NPV = 4351.82





Option No.2

NPV = -3000 + 1000/(1+.10) + 3000/(1+.10)^2 + 4000/(1+.10)^3 + 3000/(1+.10)^4

-3000 + 909.09 +826.45+751.31+683.01 = 169.86



NPV = -2000 + 2000/(1+.10) + 2000/(1+.10)^2 + 2000/(1+.10)^3 + 2000/(1+.10)^4

-2000+ 1818.18 +1652.89 +1502.63 + 1366.03 = 4339.73



option 2 = 169+4339.73 = 4509.59



So option 2 is better investment
