Note: Because we have no additional info about the WC we assume that it will not change over the projects life. Then Working Capital Change for each year Yi is:
Change in Working Capital = Previous Year WC – Current WC = 0 (i= 1 to 7) and ChWC0 = -$100, 000 at year 8 and this amount will be recovered during year 8.( (McLaney, 2009)
NPV:
The discounted value of all ‘ Cash inflows’ is $2275689. 26.
NPV= Initial investment – discounted cash inflows which is:
NPV= (1, 200, 000)+ 2275689. 26
NPV= $1, 075, 689. 26
(Shim & Siegel, 2008)
Payback period:
At the end of two years the initial investment recovered would be equal to:
295, 875+ 456, 750= 752625
Therefore, the payback period is 2 years and
Payback period: 2 years and 353 days (Warren, Reeve, & Duchac, 2011)
a)
The project would be accepted on the basis of NPV and payback period. This project answers to both the queries in positivity. The NPV of this project is $1, 075, 689. 26 which is substantial relative to the project. Moreover, the project would be accepted on the basis of payback method because of its initial investment recovery within 3 years. The company has a policy of not accepting projects with a payback period of over 3 years and this project will recover its initial investment in less than 3 years. (Puxty, Dodds, & Wilson, 1988)
b)
Company’s analysis of the project is based on NPV and payback period. Initial investment has large weight age in both of these analyses therefore; our analysis would change if addition investment in land building is required. Our NPV would decline and payback period will increase substantially. If the additional investment is more than $1, 075, 689. 26 then the project would not be accepted on the basis of NPV. Moreover, its payback period would drastically increase leading to refusal of the project’s proposal.
