Homework Answers

Answer #1

Present value of inflows=cash inflow*Present value of discounting factor(rate%,time period)

At 7%:

Present value of inflows=3700/1.07+2400/1.07^2+4200/1.07^3

=$8982.65

PI=Present value of inflows/Present value of outflows

=$8982.65/$9700

=0.926(Approx).

At 17%:

Present value of inflows=3700/1.17+2400/1.17^2+4200/1.17^3

=$7537.98

PI=Present value of inflows/Present value of outflows

=$7537.98/$9700

=0.777(Approx).

At 25%:

Present value of inflows=3700/1.25+2400/1.25^2+4200/1.25^3

=$6646.4

PI=Present value of inflows/Present value of outflows

=$6646.4/$9700

=0.685(Approx).
