The NPV of each franchise are: a. NPV of Franchise L – $17.08 (In thousands) b. NPV of Franchise S – $18.17 (In thousands) 2. The rationale behind the NPV method is that if we can determine what the project is worth to the share holders. If the franchises are independent then both should be accepted because they both have a NPV > 0. If the franchises are mutually exclusive Franchise S should be accepted because it has a higher NPV than Franchise L. 3. Yes, the NPVs would

Project L NPV = $18.78 Project S NPV = $19.98 2. The rationale behind the NPV method is that an NPV of zero shows that the projects cash flows are exactly sufficient to repay the invested capital and to provide the required rate of return. A positive NPV means that it is generating more cash than is needed to service the debt and provided to shareholders, vice versa for negative NPV. If both projects were independent, you would accept both projects considering the positive NPV. Both projects

and comparison of project appraisal techniques. The Net Present Value (NPV) method is used by 75% of firms when deciding on investment projects. The reasons for its wide use is that firstly, the NPV rule takes into account the time value of money, meaning that it recognises that a pound today is worth more than a pound tomorrow as the pound today can be invested to start earning interest immediately. Secondly, NPV depends solely on the forecasted cash flows from the project and the opportunity

The net present value (NPV) and internal rate of return (IRR) techniques are discounted cash flow (DCF) evaluation techniques. These are called DCF methods because they explicitly recognize the time value of money. NPV is the present value of the project's expected future cash flows (both inflows and outflows), discounted at the appropriate cost of capital. NPV is a direct measure of the value of the project to shareholders. e. The internal rate of return (IRR) is the discount rate that
