1. Cash receipts $25,000 $30,000 $5,000
2. Cash operating expenses -15,000 -18,000 -3,000
3. Depreciation -3,000 -4,000 -1,000
4. Tax deductible expenses (2+3) 18,000 22,000 4,000
5. Taxable income (1 – 4) 7,000 8,000 1,000
6. Income tax payments (5 times 25%) 1,750 2,000 250
7. Net income after taxes (1 – 4 – 6) 5,250 6,000 750
8. Net cash flow (7 + 3) 8,250 10,000 1,750

The value circled in red is the value which appears in the numerator of each year’s discounted annual net cash flows in the NPV capital budgeting model.

Forecasts any expected changes in productivity (i.e., yields)
Alternative ApproachesAlternative Approaches• Market outlook information approach• Historical based approaches:
– Naïve model (p. 64)– Olympic moving average (p. 65)
• Time series econometric approach• Flexibility coefficient approach (p. 66)• Structural econometric approach (p. 65-

Stochastic simulation of random variable (yields) generates an empirical probability distribution for price

This is the probability distribution for the first year. One would expect the probability associated with the most likely scenario to decline over time, reflecting increasing uncertainty in subsequent years.

We would reject making this
investment since the NPV < 0.
