Shortcomings of the NPV method Sample Clauses

Shortcomings of the NPV method. Traditional NPV (net present value) approach is simply used for measuring the excess or shortfall of cash flows under present value terms. The managers could make decisions of the project (invest or abandon), depending on the NPV whether it is negative or positive. Although, net present value considers all the cash flows, the time value of capitals and the risk of the future cash flows, it still exist limitations for implementation. According to Xxxxx and Xxxxxxx (1995), NPV method assumes an irreversible investment that means once the companies decide to invest, they may give up the possibility of waiting for new information. This method ignores the value of flexibility and only considers the investment as a static process. The opportunities of investment are taken as “now” or “never”. Once the project is rejected, it will not be invested forever. In other words, it means the company loses the opportunity to invest forever. In addition, even the NPV proves to be positive, the decision makers still may not process the project immediately because they may wait for getting more information. In this situation, the value of time wasting is not reflected on the standard NPV calculation. Furthermore, this method does not consider the reality while many projects could be implemented flexibly through defer, expand, growth, switch or abandon that is performed by real options. Another shortcoming of NPV method is that it ignores the value of creating options. The strategy is only with do or not to do the investment and there is no third option such as wait and decide later. In fact, many investments could be delayed and processed by getting more information in the future while the value of project would not be lost. In addition, since the decision maker decides to invest, the project will be run in a long term without considering the market environment. There is a possibility that the result is positive and a company may do the investment based on the calculation but the market environment is changing year by year. Perhaps after several years, the market is depressed and the company could not get expected profit. The best way in this situation might be stop the project for a while and wait until the market environment becomes better. Under traditional net present method, since this company has already invested the project, he has no opportunity to stop and run later on. Even the market condition is worse than expected and the price is very decreasing, the project st...
