the payback period, it is assumed that any cash flow occurring during a given period is realized continuously throughout the period, and not at a single point in time. The payback is then the point in time for the series of cash flows when the initial cash outlays are fully recovered. The payback criterion decision rule is to accept projects that payback before this cutoff, and reject projects that take longer to payback. b. The payback period rule ignores the time value of money; requires an

Management Concept Summary Algebra Solving Linear Equations in One Variable Manipulate the equation using Rule 1 so that all the terms involving the variable (call it x) are on one side of the equation and all constants are on the other side. Then use Rule 2 to solve for x. Rule 1: Adding the same quantity to both sides of an equation does not change the set of solutions to that equation. Rule 2: Multiplying or dividing both sides of an equation by the same nonzero number does not change the set

Foundations of the Net Present Value Rule Figure 2-1 illustrates the problem of choosing between spending today and spending in the future. Assume that you have a cash inflow of B today and F in a year's time. Unless you have some way of storing or anticipating income, you will be compelled to consume it as it arrives. This could be inconvenient or worse. If the bulk of your cash flow is received next year, the result could be hunger now and gluttony later. This is where the capital market comes

Statement becomes the top line of the Cash Flow Statement. 2. Second, you add back non-cash expenses from the Income Statement (and flip the signs of items such as Gains and Losses). 3. Third, you reflect changes in operational Balance Sheet line items – if an Asset goes up, cash flow goes down and vice versa; if a Liability goes up, cash flow goes up and vice versa. 4. Fourth, you reflect Purchases and Sales of Investments and PP&E in Cash Flow from Investing. 5. Fifth, you reflect

[pic] The present value of the cash inflows for Project A never recovers the initial outlay for the project, which is always the case for a negative NPV project. The present values of the cash inflows for Project B are shown in the third row of the table below, and the cumulative net present values are shown in the fourth row: |C0 |C1

1. a) Payback Period= Investment/Cash Flow per Year = 35,000/5000 = 7 year Computation of NPV: NPV= C0 + PV [PV= C0 + Σi=1t Ct/(1+r)t] =C0 +C[1/r – 1/r(1+r)t] = -35,000+ 5000[1/.12 - 1/.12(1+.12)15] = -35,000 + 5000[1/.12 – 1/.657] = -35,000 + (5000 * 6.81) = -945.68 i.e. $ -945.68 Computation of IRR: 0= -35,000 + Σ t i=1 5000/(1+IRR)t = 11.49% Rainbow Products should not purchase the machine because it is not profitable whether you utilize the NPV method or the

use a cost-benefit analysis to argue for or against an expansion. Create three (3) optimal decision rules for Katrina’s Candies (e.g.., whether to hire more staff or hire temporary workers to meet production schedules). The cost-benefit analysis that Herb could use to argue for or against an expansion would be the Net Present value method. Net Present Value (NPV) is the present value of net cash inflows generated by a project including salvage value, if any, less the initial investment on the project
