A project needs an investment of $50k at time zero and $30k at the end of year 1. It is expected to generate a net income of $50k for year 1 to 8. At the end of 8th year, it is expected to incur an environmental cost of $40k and a salvage value of $60k. Please calculate NPV at a minimum DCFROR of 15%.

Now, evaluate the probability for the project to be economically satisfactory and the most likely NPV to be achieved.

Hint: One may analyze the sensitivity NPV to the following parameters and then plot probability vs. NPV.

Costs (+/- 40%)

  • Incomes (+/- 30%)
  • Salvage value (+/-20%)
  • Environmental Cost (+/- 30%)
  • Project life (+/- 50%)
  • Plot a tornado diagram
  • Rank the five uncertain parameters based on the NPV sensitivity analysis
