Chapter 11, Problem 11.1CTF
Summary Introduction

To discuss: On a project that does not have a positive net present value (NPV).

Introduction:

Net present value (NPV) refers to the current discounted value of the future cash flows. The company should accept the project, if the net present value is positive or greater than zero and vice-versa. If there are two mutually exclusive projects, then the company has to select the project that has higher net present value.

Answer to Problem 11.1CTF

The potential of believing that a particular project indicates a positive NPV when the project does not indicate a positive NPV is referred to as Negative NPV.

Explanation of Solution

The NPV of the project is the present value of all cash flows of a company’s project. In this form of cash flows, the cash inflows indicate positive cash flows whereas cash outflows imply negative cash flows. This means, the NPV is positive when the value of revenue is higher than the cash outflows. On the other hand, the NPV is negative when the value of revenue is lesser than the cash outflows gained by the project.

Conclusion

A particular project is accepted at the time when the project specifies a positive NPV. In case, a particular project does not point out a positive NPV, that particular project has to be rejected by the company.
