The initial outlay of the cost is $65,000,000, with cash flow of 15M, 17M, 18M,19M, and 18M for the next 5 years. The investment has an operating cost of 2.6 M for the 5 years, a straight-line deprecation of 20%, an income tax rate of 20% and a weighted average cost (WACC) of 9%. With all this data that gives the estimated Net Present Value (NPV) is ($10,408,925), and an Internal Rate of Return (IRR) of 2.8%.
Based of these calculations with a negative NPV and a low IRR I would not recommend Target to invest in these portfolios. A negative NPV is projecting a loss for the company. With the IRR being lower than the cost of capital, “the rule declares that the best course of action is to forego the project or investment.” (Ganti, 2022). With both these factors it would be a negative investment for Target to make. “ NPV and IRR are both calculations to use when looking into investments. “is the difference between the present value of cash inflows and the present value of cash outflows over a period of time. NPV is used in capital budgeting and investment planning to analyze the profitability of a projected investment or project.” (Fernando, 2022). The internal rate of return (IRR) is a metric used in financial analysis to estimate the profitability of potential investments. IRR is a discount rate that makes the net present value (NPV) of all cash flows equal to zero in a discounted cash flow analysis.”. One major difference in NPV and IRR is the NPV method uses a discount rate and projected future cash flow, this uses a trial and error methods equates to a present value. The discount rate is not predetermined when used the IRR method. The outcome of IRR yields a percentage, while NPV gives a dollar amount. NPV focuses on project excess, while IRR focues on the cash flow breakdown. If you had to chose one of the evaluation methods, the net present value would be the one to chose. “IRR is useful when comparing multiple projects against each other or in situations where it is difficult to determine a discount rate. NPV is better in situations where there are varying directions of cash flow over time or multiple discount rates.” (Fernando, 2022). IRR can be more difficult to determine the profitability of the project. Another reason to pick NPV is that
