A Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) analysis is used to estimate the Net Present Value (NPV) of the e-commerce venture:
- Discount Rate: 30%
- R&D Expenses: $500,000 per year (constant)
- Operational Expenses: 30% of revenue each year
Total NPV for the 5-year projection period: Approximately $1,434,837
As a next step, a sensitivity analysis on these projections could be performed. This analysis would help understand how changes in key assumptions, such as growth rate or discount rate, impact the NPV. It will provide a more comprehensive view of the potential range of outcomes and inform decision-making under different scenarios.
