Question

For the given cash flows, suppose the firm uses the NPV decision rule. Year Cash Flow 0 –$ 164,000 1 52,000 2 87,000 3 71,000 Requirement 1: At a required return of 8 percent, what is the NPV of the project? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places (e.g., 32.16).) NPV $ 15098.87 Requirement 2: At a required return of 18 percent, what is the NPV of the project? (Do not round intermediate calculations. A negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign. Round your answer to 2 decimal places (e.g., 32.16).)

Explanation / Answer

NPV = PV of Cash inflow - PV of Cash out flow

Requirement 1

NPV = $179,085 - $164,000 = $15,085

Requirement 2

NPV = $149,749 - $164,000 = -$14,251

Year Cash flow Pv factor @ 8% PV @8% PV factor @ 18% PV @18% 0 –$ 164,000 1 $52,000 0.926 $48,152 0.847 $44,044 2 $87,000 0.857 $74,559 0.718 $62,466 3 $71,000 0.794 $56,374 0.609 $43,239 $179,085 $149,749
