Suppose Cold Goose Metal Works Inc. is evaluating a proposed capital budgeting project (project Beta) that will require an initial investment of $3,000,000. The project is expected to generate the following net cash flows:

Year Cash Flow
Year 1 $350,000
Year 2 $450,000
Year 3 $450,000
Year 4 $450,000

Cold Goose Metal Works Inc.'s weighted average cost of capital is 8%, and project Beta has the same risk as the firm's average project. Based on the cash flows, what is project Beta's NPV?

Answer:

Cold Goose Metal Works Inc.

Based on the cash flows, project Beta's NPV is negative:

= ($1,602,200).

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Initial investment in project Beta = $3,000,000

Weighted average cost of capital = 8%

Net cash flows:

Year        Cash Flow    Discount Factor   Present Value

Year 1     $350,000           0.926                  $324,100  

Year 2    $450,000           0.857                    385,650

Year 3    $450,000           0.794                    357,300

Year 4    $450,000           0.735                    330,750

Total cash inflows =                                   $1,397,800

Investment cost =                                     $3,000,000

NPV =                                                        -$1,602,200

b) Cold Goose should not pursue the investment.  The cash outflows outweigh the cash inflows by more than 50%.  The net present value of the project is negative.
