Explanation / Answer

Answer 12.

IRR is the rate at which NPV of the project is 0.

So, 0 = -1,200,000 + 300,000/(1+i) + 300,000/(1+i)^2 + .. + 300,000/(1+i)^5

1,200,000 = 300,000 / i * (1 - (1/(1+i))^5 )

i = 7.9%

Answer 13.

Initial Investment = $1,200,000

Present Value of Cashflow = 300,000 / 0.12 * (1-(1/1.12)^5) = 1,081,432.86

PI = 1,081,432.86 / 1,200,000 = 0.90

Answer 14.

Payback Period = Initial Investment / Annual Cashflow

= 1,200,000 / 300,000 = 4 Years

Answer 15.

Since the IRR is lower than Required Rate of Return and PI is less than 1, therefore the project should be rejected.
