Assuming a launch price of Rs 15,000/psf, construction cost of Rs 6,000/psf and development in two phase over FY21-29E, we arrive at post-tax project IRR of 23% and NPV of Rs 4.1 bn (Rs 16/share) owing to the staggered land payment for this land.
As we can see using some simple tables and math above, the PPV and NPV can be limiting even in the face of a “good” test with high sensitivity and specificity.
By imitating the performance of the project under evaluation, simulation can provide a distribution of NPV over a range of discount rates and other variables.
Despite a strong academic preference for NPV, surveys indicate that executives prefer IRR over NPV.
Examples of time series without an IRR: * Only negative cash flows — the NPV is negative for every rate of return.
If, for example, the capital required for Project A can earn 5% elsewhere, use this discount rate in the NPV calculation to allow a direct comparison to be made between Project A and the alternative.
