Lambert Manufacturing has $100,000 to invest in either Project A or Project B. The following data are available on these projects (Ignore income taxes): Project A Project B
Cost of equipment needed now $100,000 $60,000
Working capital investment needed now $0 $40,000
Annual cash operating inflows $40,000 $35,000
Salvage value of equipment in 6 years $10,000 $0
Refer to Exhibit 14B-1 and Exhibit 14B-2, to determine the appropriate discount factor(s) using the tables provided. Both projects will have a useful life of 6 years and the total cost approach to net present value analysis. At the end of 6 years, the working capital investment will be released for use elsewhere. Lambert's required rate of return is 14%. The net present value of Project B is:.
A) $90,356.
B) $76,115.
C) $36,115.
D) $54,356.

C) $36,115.

Explanation:

Net present value is the present value of after-tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.  

NPV can be calculated using a financial calculator  

For project A

Cost of the equipment = $60,000 + 440,000 = $100,000

Cash flow in year 0 =  $-100,000

Cash flow each year from year 1 to 6 = $35,000

I = 14%

NPV =  $36,115.

To find the NPV using a financial calculator:

1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

2. after inputting all the cash flows, press the NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.  

3. Press compute  

both are integral parts of a corporate balance sheet. the cash flow statement, or statement of cash flows, measures the sources of a company's cash and its uses of cash over a specific time period. the income statement measures a company's financial performance, such as revenues, expenses, profits or losses over a specific time period (in fact, it's sometimes called a statement of financial performance).

a cash flow statement shows exactly how much money a company has received and how much it has spent, traditionally over a period of one month. it captures the current operating results and changes on the balance sheet, such as increases or decreases in accounts receivable or accounts payable, and does not include noncash accounting items such as depreciation and amortization. the cash flow generally comes from revenue received as a result of business activity, but it may be augmented by funds available as a result of credit. a cash flow statement is used to determine the short-term viability and liquidity of a company, specifically how well it is positioned to pay its bills and vendors.
