Practicing Question
Question One
Obi Plc. is contemplating investment in a new concrete crushing machine in order to recycle rubble from demolished buildings into road chippings. It is estimate that the crushing machine will cost N210,000 payable immediately, have a useful life of 5 years with a residual value of N25,000. Net cash inflows for each of the next 5 years from the sale of recycled rubble are projected as:
Year Net Cash flows 10% present value factors 15% present value factors.
1. 40,000 0.909 0.870
2. 50,000 0.826 0.756
3. 60,000 0.751 0.658 …show more content…
80,000 0.621 0.497
Required
Calculate the NPV of the investment if Obliteration Plc’s cost of capital is 10%.
