NPV

CFA Level I
#1

What is the NPV of a project if the present value of all costs is $174,250 th epresent value of all cash flows is $4,183,240.10, the present value of all tax shields is $15,343.23 and the NPV of all salvage values is $5,533.23? a) $819.90 b) $18,800.10 c) $24,333.33 d) $29,866.56 I am thinking that the cash flows figure is a typo and should read $183,240.10

#2

I concur…

#3

183240.10 -174250 + 15343.23 - 5533.23 = 18800. Yep, agree with you.

thanks much

I thought It should have been 183240.10 -174250 - 15343.23 + 5533.23 Could somebody explain? - Dinesh S

#7

Shouldn’t the tax shield increase the NPV of the project too? D) = $29,866.56 = $183,240.10 - $174,250 + $15,343.23 + $5,533.23

#8

I’m agreeing with ‘D’ as the answer, also. ‘Salvage Value’ is the value of an asset, not an expense.

#9

my mistake… I just realized - this is exactly what we do in calculating the PV (Lease Obligation). PMT = Lease Payment, FV=Salvage Value Calculate the PV…

#10

I was thinking C? 183240.1 - 174250 + 15343.23. I am not clear why the Salvage value would be added since presumably it is included in the expected future cash flows?

#11

I get C Salvage should be included in the future cash flows already.

#12

sv102307, mkgref, I agree, good catch. “all cash flows” should include the terminal cash flow, which should include the salvage value. Sneaky question, typos aside.

#13

livelylatin could you tell the answer to this and your other threads…it kind of feels incomplete without the official answer.

#14

I don’t know the official answer myself. It seems like the answer is still not very clear is it c or D.
