Concept Introduction:

NPV: Net present value (NPV) is the method to evaluate the project feasibility. This method calculates the present value of cash inflows and outflows, and then calculates the net present value of the investment. A project should be accepted if it has a positive NPV. The formula to calculate the NPV is as follows:

NPV = Present value of cash inflows  Present value of cash out flows

Requirement-1:

To determine: The Net cash flows using the straight line method of depreciation.

Requirement-5:

To state: The reason of increase in Net Present value using the MACRS method of depreciation.

Expert Solution
Check Mark

Answer to Problem 3APSA

Solution: The reason of increase in Net Present value using the MACRS method of depreciation is the higher amount of depreciation in earlier years of the project.

Explanation of Solution

Explanation: The MACRS method depreciates the asset using the higher rate in the beginning years of the life of the assets which results in higher deprecation expense and lower income tax. Hence, the net cash flows and Net present value using the MACRS depreciation method are higher than using the straight line depreciation method.

Conclusion

Conclusion: Hence, the reason of increase in Net Present value using the MACRS method of depreciation is the higher amount of depreciation in earlier years of the project.
