Overview
This webinar will outline a number of concepts including:
1. The Cash Flow stream, the value of money related to time, and the discount rate
2. Formulae for calculating Net Present Value (NPV) and Internal Rate of Return (IRR)
3. Alternative methods of establishing the return on investment, defining the advantages and disadvantages
The webinar will then introduce the investment analysis undertaken for a real project. This will consist of:
- An overview of the project to build a new factory and equip it with the latest machines and technology funded by the sale of an existing site to be developed for housing
- The objective to achieve higher efficiencies and flexibility and to be able to manufacture a batch size of one with the same productivity as for larger volumes
- Description of how the cash flow forecast is built up and the return on the investment calculated
- Scenario planning i.e. calculating outcomes for different assumptions for sales volumes, efficiencies, multi-shift working, exchange rates etc. to test sensitivities
- Discussion of the significance of depreciation rates, taxation, government grants, residual values and possible decommissioning costs
- Reference to the “total cost of ownership”
