Given Information
- Initial Investment : ₱5,000,000
- Annual Cash Inflows :
- Year 1: ₱2,000,000
- Year 2: ₱3,000,000
- Year 3: ₱4,000,000
- Annual Operating Costs (30%)
- Year 1: ₱600,000
- Year 2: ₱900,000
- Year 3: ₱1,200,000
- Net Cash Inflows :
- Year 1: ₱2,000,000 - ₱600,000 = ₱1,400,000
- Year 2: ₱3,000,000 - ₱900,000 = ₱2,100,000
- Year 3: ₱4,000,000 - ₱1,200,000 = ₱2,800,000
WACC (Cost of Capital): 10%
Net Present Value (NPV)
NPV = E (CFt / (1 + r)^t ) - Initial Investment
Where:
- CFt = net cash flow at year t
- r = 10%
- Initial Investment = ₱5,000,000
Calculation :
NPV = 1,400,000 / 1.1^1 + 2,100,000 /1.1^2 + 2,800,000 / 1.1^3 –
5,000,000
NPV = 1,400,000 / 1.1 + 2,100,000 / 1.21 + 2,800,000 / 1.331
NPV ≈ 1,272,727 + 1,735,537 + 2,103,683 = 5,111,947
NPV ≈ 5,111,947 – 5,000,000 = ₱111,947
NPV is positive, so the project is viable.
Internal Rate of Return (IRR)
We already know:
NPV = 0 = E (CFt / 1+ IRRt ) 1 + ) – 5,000,000
Using a financial calculator or Excel’s IRR function :
IRR ≈ 10.65%
IRR > 10% → Good investment.
Payback Period
How long to recover ₱5,000,000 from net cash inflows?
- End of Year 1: ₱1,400,000
- End of Year 2: ₱1,400,000 + ₱2,100,000 = ₱3,500,000
- Year 3 needed: ₱5,000,000 - ₱3,500,000 = ₱1,500,000
From Year 3: ₱1,500,000 / ₱2,800,000 ≈ 0.54 year
Payback Period ≈ 2.54 years
Summary of Results
1. NPV : ₱111,947 (Positive, so the project is viable)
2. IRR: 10.65% (>10%, good investment)
3. Payback Period : 2.54 years
Conclusion :
- The project is financially viable.
- NPV, IRR, and Payback Period suggest the company should move
forward with the project.
- The project presents a favorable financial outlook based on its positive
NPV, >10% IRR, and short payback period.
- Given the favorable financial metrics, we recommend pursuing the
project.
