¶ … price for the Zartek technology, the most appropriate approach is to start by looking at the value it is expected to create. The net income for each of the years have been provided. However, under the concept of the time value of money, income received in the future will have a lower value compared to the same amount held today. Inflation will erode the value of money, while money held today may be invested for a return for the future (Drake & Fabozzi, 2009). Therefore, the first stage is to look at the future net revenue streams and discount them to allow for the time value of money. Giving a present value (PV). This is undertaken by discounting each year's net revenue on a compound basis (Drake & Fabozzi, 2009). As it is assumed the interest rate for the 5 years is 7%, the discount factor used will be 7% on a compound basis. This is shown in table 1 below.

If the firm is going to sell the technology, Globus Maximus Enterprises who are purchasing it must see a finical advantage to the purchase; where the opportunity costs are minimised and a profit may be created (Nellis & Parker, 2006). This means the price would need to be below the $4,896.58 PV, otherwise there would be no profit margin left for Globus Maximus Enterprises greater than the 7% that could be achieved from a standard bank investment.
As Zartek have invested $2,000, it may also be assumed that the firm will wish to recoup the investment costs as well as make a profit. This now gives a price range of between $2,000 and $4,896.95. If we make the assumption that both firms should gain equal benefit, this would give a median price level of $3,448.48. This could be the starting point for the negotiation,. Other factors may also adjustments to either the discount rate, or the price, based on the level of risk or certainty associated with the forecast income streams. There may also be consideration regarding whether or not the Zartek technology is to be sold for exclusive use by Globus Maximus Enterprises, this may increase the value to the purchaser, and also increase the profit requirements of a single sale to the seller.

Therefore, Clink should only utilize the lease option is the lease is valued at less than £230,000 per year. Some of the factors that might influence this decision would be the estimated life span of the machinery and the estimated resale value. The longer the estimated life span of the machinery and the greater the estimated resale value, the less likely the lease is to be a viable option. However,
Net Present Value (NPV) decision rule. Describe how is the NPV rule is related to a cost-benefit analysis, and how is it related to the Valuation Principle. The Net Present Value decision rule basically states that an investment should be accepted if its net present value is greater than zero, but otherwise rejected. The NPV of an investment is the present value of its cash inflow minus the present value
NPV Obviously the easiest and most error-free way of doing this is in Excel. Thus, we get the following table for the NPV calculation. Flow NPV (1-5) $2,031,369.67 Total NPV $281,369.67 Google should accept the project, because it has a positive net present value. All projects with a positive net present value add to shareholder wealth. Unless there is a comparison between two mutually exclusive projects, any project with a positive NPV should be accepted.

Background My company is considering a certain project undertaking. Our CFO is uncertain on whether or not to embrace the project. Having estimated the cash flows and NPV for the project, and having an estimated NPV as +$10, I am tasked with the role of analyzing the feasibility of the said project on the basis of the cash flows and NPV estimates. In so doing, I will address the kind of

NPV The net present value calculation is the best way to make a capital budgeting decision. NPV takes the incremental cash flows from a project and then discounts them to present-day dollars. This technique allows managers to not only identify the incremental cash flows associated with a project, but also allows them to discount future cash flows to present day, so as to account for the effects of inflation. In this case,
