Document Summary

Capital project - an investment in a project that is expected to generate revenues or cash inflows for the firm for a period of more than one year. Tangible assets - new pipeline for an oil company. Intangible assets - research expenditures for a pharmaceutical company. A company will maximize shareholder wealth by accepting all projects that have a positive npv. The net present value (npv) of a project: = sum of the pv of all future cash flows - pv of the cost(s) Npv = - cf0 + cf1 + cf2 + cf3 + cfn (1+r)1 (1+r)2 (1+r)3 (1+r)n. Note: usually in this course we are dealing with a single project cost at time zero (or cf0) Accept any project as long as the project npv > 0. It always gives the correct investment decision as npv is the amount that a project will add to shareholder wealth.
