Using Solver to Optimize NPV When Capital is Constrained [Video]

In this video I’m going to show you how to use Solver to determine which projects to accept when capital is constrained. So let’s say your company has 20 different projects it could do, and each of these projects has an NPV greater than zero. Now in theory, a company should accept all positive-NPV projects. But here’s the problem: accepting all 20 projects would require an upfront investment of $3.775 million, and the company only has $2.5 million in cash. Thus, we need to choose which of these 20 projects to accept. In short, we need to find the combination of projects that results in the highest total NPV, and Solver can help us do this. — Edspira is the creation of Michael McLaughlin, an award-winning professor who went from teenage homelessness to a PhD.

Take or pay Contract Clause: Part 2 [Video]

In this video, you will learn some details about the take or pay contractual clause.Chapters:00:00 – Introduction00:32 – Benefits01:56 – Risks02:33 – Negotiation of take or pay clause03:38 – ConclusionBenefitsIf the buyer rejects the good, the seller gets paid, and they are free to sell the goods to other buyers. So, it’s a win for them.The take or pay clause also makes it easier for sellers to get financing from banks to fulfill the order as they have payment guarantees.On the other hand, the buyer also gets benefitted from the take or pay clause as they get the goods for long-term at a fixed rate.(Explained in detail in the video)RisksThe contracts that involve such clauses are often long-term contracts. So in case, there’s a drastic change in the future, like Brexit, a pandemic, or anything else, the contracts may not be beneficial to the parties.In such scenarios, the parties may choose to terminate the contract, or they may renegotiate the terms.The risk here is that this has to be done by both parties and not just by one.Negotiation of take or pay clauseHere are some conditions under which renegotiations can happen:Force Majeure Clause (Act of God)Price Clause (Escalation Clause)Review Clause (Renegotiations)This was all about the topic of the take or pay clause.

How to Calculate Net Present Value in Excel [Video]

In this video I’m going to show you how to calculate the NPV (or net present value) of a project in Excel. So I’ve got 20 different projects here with a series of cash flows. Cash outflows are in parentheses, while the cash inflows aren’t. There’s an initial cash outflow in period 0 and then a series of cash flows occurring at the end of each year for 5 years.To calculate the NPV of a project, we’re going to use Excel’s NPV function. So type =NPV and then select the discount rate. I’m going to anchor the discount rate so I’ll be able to drag down the formula and calculate the NPV of each of the 20 projects. You can also type in the discount rate directly; in this case, you’d type in 0.09.Next, highlight the future cash flows. Now you might be tempted to highlight all the project’s cash flows, but don’t do it. You only highlight the cash flows that occur after period 0. So why isn’t the cash outflow that occurs today included in the values? It’s because the NPV function assumes cash flows occur at the end of each period. If the initial cash flow occurs today, then it doesn’t occur at the end of the period and thus shouldn’t be part of the NPV function.But don’t worry, we will account for the cash flow in period 0 separately. After you close the parentheses, add the cash flow from period 0 and hit “Enter.” Thus, the cash outflow that occurs today is still part of the project’s NPV, it’s just not part of the values we enter for NPV function.Now you can see the NPV for Project 1, which is $28,345. To see the NPV for the other 19 projects, just click the fill handle and drag and it down.Now the NPV function assumes the cash flows occurred at the end of each period and that the cash flows were periodic. But what if the cash flows weren’t equally spaced out? For example, what if we had a project with nonperiodic cash flows like this? We have one cash flow occurring on May 6, one occurring February 19, and so forth. We shouldn’t use the NPV function here because the cash flows don’t occur at regular intervals. Instead, we should use the XNPV function. Just type =XNPV, enter the discount rate, select the range of values, and select the dates, and you can see that the NPV of this project is $713. Note that I included the first cash flow in the XNPV function; this is different from the NPV function where we had to deal with the upfront cash flow separately.— Edspira is the creation of Michael McLaughlin, an award-winning professor who went from teenage homelessness to a PhD.

Take or pay Contract Clause: Introduction [Video]

In this video, you will get introduced to a contractual clause known as taking or pay.#takeorpay #contractualclause #wallstreetmojo #contracts #clausesChapters:00:00 – Introduction00:42 – What is take or pay?01:58 – Working of the take or pay clause02:30 – Example03:53 – ConclusionWhat is take or pay?The take or pay clause basically stipulates a buyer takes the goods from the seller in exchange for the pre-determined amount. They must pay a fine if they refuse to take the goods.So what this contractual clause does is that it protects sellers in case the buyer refuses to honor the terms of the contract.It wouldn’t be fair if the seller spends all the time, money, and effort to get the goods ready, and then the buyer refuses to take delivery, and the seller will have to bear the costs.(Explained in detail in the video)Working of the take or pay clauseThe take or pay clause basically derives its name from the terms of the contract:Either take the delivery, orPay a fine if you don’t want the deliverySuch clauses are mostly used in contracts in the energy, oil, mineral, natural gas, and coal industries that require significant seller investments.ExampleWe have taken a hypothetical example in the video to give you a better understanding of the topic.So make sure you watch the example part in the video.This was all about take or pay in this introductory video.
