A firm evaluates all of its projects by using the NPV decision rule. |
Year | Cash Flow | ||
0 | –$29,000 | ||
1 | 20,000 | ||
2 | 16,000 | ||
3 | 5,000 | ||
a. At a required return of 25 percent, what is the NPV for this project? b. At a required return of 41 percent, what is the NPV for this project? |
a.Present value of inflows=cash inflow*Present value of discounting factor(rate%,time period)
=20000/1.25+16000/1.25^2+5000/1.25^3
=$28800
NPV=Present value of inflows-Present value of outflows
=$28800-$29000
=($200)(Negative).
b.Present value of inflows=cash inflow*Present value of discounting factor(rate%,time period)
=20000/1.41+16000/1.41^2+5000/1.41^3
=$24015.94
NPV=Present value of inflows-Present value of outflows
=$24015.94-$29000
=($4984.06)(Negative).(Approx).
