5-2 Journal: Budgeting Should we invest in this project? Kashawn Hernandez Professor Mark Wieland
Net Present Value After conducting my calculations using the Present value formula for each year occurring there was the conclusion that the final Net Present Value was (-$346,385.86). The way this came about is that the rate of return was known to be 10% in this scenario when conducting this project. Additionally, as one can see the initial investment in the project would be a total of $500,000. Therefore, as we started there would be a loss of $500,000. Subsequently, as the years passed on the present value would be $22,727.27(1), $20,661.15(2), $18,782.87(3), $17,075.33(4), $15,523.03(5), $14,111.84(6), $12,828.95(7), $11,662.68(8), $10,602.44(9), and $9,639.58(10). When all these present values are added up together we find out the net present value is as we said before which is (-$346,385.86). Investment After finding out the Net Present Value for this upcoming project we must point out the pros and cons of doing this project based on the data. One pro of this project is that the sports organization wants to expand the stadium as well as include luxury suites for people to live in. Another pro is that the sports organization is willing to look for change and it seems to be looking like a quick project with the time being 10 years. On the other hand, when we point out the cons there are several cons. One con is that agreeing to do the project will result in the sports organization losing money and not earning a profit from performing the project. Another con is that the luxury suites generate too much money which is why there is a loss of conducting the project at the end of the day. Overall, these are some of the pros and cons of agreeing to perform this project for 10 years.
Financially Now that everything is calculated, and we have pointed out the pros and cons of performing this project we can come to a smart decision on whether the Green Bay Packers should expand its football stadium with luxury suites. Based on the financial data the Green Bay Packers should not expand its football stadium with luxury suites because they will end up losing money in the long run. For example, there was a hypothetical scenario in which there was an opportunity in which one had to invest $15,000 to expand his business and he estimated that the investment would generate $3,000 in profit for the next 10 years. After performing the Present value and Net Present Value calculations he sees that this opportunity would be beneficial for his company because the Net Present Value is a positive number. Therefore, he would profit in the long run and would be able to earn his initial investment of $15,000 (Swenson, Net Present Value Defined & Discussed). In this scenario with the Green Bay Packers their Net Present Value ended up being a negative number and when the NPV is a negative number it is financially recommended that one does not perform the project as one will lose money in the long run.
