5.1 Introduction
Does the decision rule adjust for the time value of money?
All the discussions of the methods will use the example below:
You are looking at a new project and you have estimated the following
cash flows:
Year 0:
CF = -165,000
Year 1:
CF = 63,120; NI = 13,620
Year 2:
CF = 70,800; NI = 3,300
Year 3:
CF = 91,080; NI = 29,100
5.2 NPV
5.2.2 Example
Subtract the future cash flows from the initial cost until the initial
investment has been recovered
Payback Period =
5.3.2 Example
Assume we will accept the project if it pays back within two years.

Compute the PV for each cash flow and determine the payback period
using discounted cash flows

Definition: IRR is the discount rate of return that makes the NPV = 0
5.6.1 Process
Decision Rule: Accept the project if the IRR is greater than the
required return

Discount Rate
If the IRR is high enough, you may not need to estimate a required return,
which is often a difficult task
5.6.5 Problems with IRR: - Non conventional Cash flow & Mutually
Exclusive Project
NPV and IRR will give similar decisions (reject or accept a project) except in two
conditions:- Non conventional Cash Flow and Mutually exclusive projects

Summary of Decision Rules
If you use the financial calculator, you would get an IRR of 10.11% which
would tell you to Reject
You need to recognize that there are non-conventional cash flows and look
at the NPV profile

Recalculate NPV based on two different rates, below and beyond crossover rate.
Crossover rate = 10.95%

Whenever there is a conflict between NPV and another decision rule, you
should always use NPV

Initial Investment Required
5.7.1 Example
Extract from accountingexplained.com
Company C is undertaking a project at a cost of $50 million which is expected to generate future net cash flows with a
present value of $65 million. Calculate the profitability index.
Solution
Profitability Index = PV of Future Net Cash Flows / Initial Investment Required
Profitability Index = $65M / $50M = 1.3
Net Present Value = PV of Net Future Cash Flows Initial Investment Required
Net Present Value = $65M-$50M = $15M.
The information about NPV and initial investment can be used to calculate profitability index as follows:

Advantages
Disadvantages
NPV and IRR are the most commonly used primary investment criteria
5.9 Summary
Profitability
Payback period
Length of time until initial investment is recovered
Take the project if it pays back in some specified period
Doesnt account for time value of money and there is an
arbitrary cutoff period
Index
Benefit-cost ratio
Take investment if PI > 1
Cannot be used to rank mutually exclusive projects
May be used to rank projects in the presence of capital
rationing
