Comparing investments
The nominal net cash flows below are for two mutually exclusive oil developments.
Derive the NPVs for the table below and draw a graph of NPV against discount rate.
What is the NPV at 10% (10% is the bank rate and our discount rate)?
What are their internal rates of return?
IRR
Which project would you choose and why?
If we invested the net cash flow from the projects in the bank at 10% per year,
which project would give us the most wealth at the end of year 7? Prove this
by calculating the future value of each project at the end of year 6.
