Introduction:
The variation between the present value of the cash outflows and the present value of the cash inflows are known as the net present value. In capital budgeting the net present value is utilized to analyze the profitability of a project or investment. The rate of return which equates the initial investment and the present value of net cash inflows are referred to as internal rate of return. This is also called as actual rate of return.

Answer to Problem 32QP
The net present value is $4,725,575.74 and the internal
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
Company A projects the unit sale for the new 7 octave voice emulation implant as follows:
- The year 1 unit sales is 84,000
- The year 2 unit sales is 98,000
- The year 3 unit sales is 113,000
- The year 4 unit sales is 106,000
- The year 5 unit sales is 79,000
The production implant needs $1,500,000 in the net working capital to begin their production activities. The extra net working capital investment for every year is equivalent to the 15% of the sales that is projected has to rise for the following year. The total fixed cost is $3,400,000 for a year, the unit price is $395, and the variable production cost is $265. The installation cost of the equipment is $17,000,000.
The equipment is qualified in the 7 Year MACRS

Ending book value for year 4 = [ Ending book value of an equipment for year 3−(Initial cost of an equipment×MACRS rate )]=$7,434,100−($17,000,000×12.49%)=$7,434,100−$2,123,300=$5,310,800
Ending book value for year 5 = [ Ending book value of an equipment for year 4−(Initial cost of an equipment×MACRS rate )]=$5,310,800−($17,000,000×8.93%)=$5,310,800−$1,518,100=$3,792,700
Formula to calculate the sales:
Sales = Unit sales×Price per unit
Computation of the sales:
Sales for year 1 = Unit sales for year 1×Price per unit=$84,000×$395=$33,180,000
Sales for year 2 = Unit sales for year 2×Price per unit=$98,000×$395=$38,710,000

Sales for year 5 = Unit sales for year 5×Price per unit=$79,000×$395=$31,205,000
Computation of the depreciation:
The depreciation amount is calculated by using the MACRS depreciation table for seven years.
Formula to calculate depreciation:
Depreciaiton = (Installation cost of an equipment×MACRS rate for the specific year)
Computation of the depreciation:
Depreciaiton for year 1 = (Installation cost of an equipment×MACRS rate for year 1)=$17,000,000×14.29%=$2,429,300
Depreciaiton for year 2 = (Installation cost of an equipment×MACRS rate for year 2)=$17,000,000×24.29%=$4,163,300

Taxes for year 5 = EBIT for year 5×Marginal tax rate=$5,351,900×35%=$1,873,165
Formula to calculate the net working capital:
Net working capital = Increases of 15%(Sales for the next year−Sales for the current year)
Computation of the net working capital:
NWC for year 1= Increases of 15%(Sales for year 2−Sales for year 1)=.15×($38,710,000−$33,180,000)=.15×$5,530,000=$829,500
NWC for year 2= Increases of 15%(Sales for year 3−Sales for year 2)=.15×($44,635,000−$38,710,000)=.15×$5,925,000=$888,750
NWC for year 3= Increases of 15%(Sales for year 4−Sales for year 3)=.15×($41,870,000−$44,645,000)=.15×$2,765,000=$414,750
NWC for year 4= Increases of 15%(Sales for year 5−Sales for year 4)=.15×($31,205,000−$41,870,000)=.15×$10,665,000=$1,599,750
Computation of the net working capital for the year 5:
NWC for year 5 = Recovery of all NWC= Initial NWC – [Change in NWC for year 1 + Change in NWC for Year 2 + Change in NWC for year 3 + Change in NWC for Year 4]
=$1,500,000−[−$829,500−$888,750+414,750+$1,599,750]=$1,500,000−$296,250=$1,203,750
Computation of the ending book value:
Ending book value = [Installation cost of an equipment−(Depreciation for year 1+Depreciation for year 2+Depreciation for year3+Depreciation for year4+Depreciation for year5)]=$17,000,000($2,429,300+$4,163,300+$2,973,300+$2,123,300+$1,518,100)=$17,000,000−$13,207,300=$3,792,700
Formula to calculate the after-tax salvage value:
After-taxsalvage value = [Total fixed cost +(Ending book value−Total fixed cost)×Marginal tax rate]
Computation of the after-tax salvage value:
After-taxsalvage value = [Total fixed cost +(Ending book value−Total fixed cost)×Marginal tax rate]=$3,400,000+($3,792,700−$3,400,000)×.35=$3,400,000+$137,445=$3,537,445
Formula to calculate the net present value:
NPV = Cash outflow +Unknown node type: x-custom-btb-me=−Total cash outflow +(Cash inflow for year 1(1+r)1+Cash inflow for year 2(1+r)2+Cash inflow for year 3(1+r)3+Cash inflow for year 4(1+r)4+Cash inflow for year 5(1+r)5)
Computation of the net present value:
NPV = Cash outflow +Cash inflow=−Total cash outflow +(Cash inflow for year 1(1+r)1+Cash inflow for year 2(1+r)2+Cash inflow for year 3(1+r)3+Cash inflow for year 4(1+r)4+Cash inflow for year 5(1+r)5)=−$18,500,000+($4,908,755(1.18)1+$6,639,405(1.18)2+$8,793,905(1.18)3+$9,089,905(1.18)4+$9,738,030(1.18)5)=$18,500,000+($4,159,961.86+$4,768,317.29+$5,352,242.07+$4,688,471.86+$4,256,582.66)
=$18,500,000+$23,225,575.74=$4,725,575.74
Hence, the net present value is $4,725,575.74.
Computation of the internal rate of return:
The internal rate of return is calculated by the spreadsheet method.
Step 1:
- Type the formulae of the internal rate of return in H6 in the spreadsheet and consider the IRR value as H8
Step 2:
- Assume the IRR value as 0.10%
Step 3:
- In the spreadsheet go to data and select the what-if analysis.
- In what-if analysis select goal seek
- In set cell select H6 (the formulae)
- The To value is considered as 0
- The H8 cell is selected for the by changing cell.
Step 4:
- Following the previous step click OK in the goal seek. The goal seek status appears
Step 5:
- The IRR value appears to be 27.5164749401034%
Hence, the internal rate of return is 27.52%.
