Edition 9ISBN: 0073527068Calculate NPV—compare to IRR A task force of capital budgeting analysts at Seger Ltd. collected the following data concerning the drilling and production of known petroleum reserves at an offshore location:
Investment in rigging equipment and related personnel costs required to pump the oil | $6,200,000 |
Net increase in inventory and receivables associated with the drilling and production of the reserves. Assume this investment will be recovered at the end of the project | 1,152,000 |
Net cash inflow from operations for the expected life of the reserves, by year: |
|
2010 | 1,920,000 |
2011 | 3,456,000 |
2012 | 1,632,000 |
Salvage value of machinery and equipment at the end of the well’s productive life | 960,000 |
Cost of capital | 10% |
Required:
a. Calculate the net present value of the proposed investment in the drilling and production operation. Assume that the investment will be made at the beginning of 2010, and the net cash inflows from operations will be received in a lump sum at the end of each year. Ignore income taxes, and round answers to the nearest $1.
b. What will the internal rate of return on this investment be relative to the cost of capital? Explain your answer.
c. Differences between estimates made by the task force and actual results would have an effect on the actual rate of return on the project. Identify the significant estimates made by the task force. For each estimate, state the effect on the actual ROI if the estimate turns out to be less than the actual amount finally achieved.

Capital Budgeting is the method of analyzing and taking decisions regarding which option to opt keeping in mind the future potential cashflows. It is regarding Long term investments and long life-assets.
Net present value (NPV): NPV is the value which is arrived by subtracting PV (present value) of Cash Inflow with present value of Cash Outflows.
Internal rate of return (IRR): IRR (Internal Rate of Return): It is the rate at which Present value of cash outflow is equal to present value of cash inflows
ROI: It stands for Return on investment. It is a performance measure that used to estimate the efficiency of a particular investment return.
