Question
Anderson International Limited is evaluating a project in Erewhon. The project will create the following cash flows:
All cash flows will occur in Erewhon and are expressed in dollars. In an attempt to improve its economy, the Erewhonian government has declared that all cash flows created by a foreign company are "blocked" and must be reinvested with the government for one year. The reinvestment rate for these funds is 4 percent. If Anderson uses a required return of 9 percent on this project, what are the NPV and IRR of the project? (Negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answers to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16. Enter your IRR as a percent.)Explanation / Answer
1.First of all we need to calculate future value of all cash flows at for one year in which goverment has block their fund.
NPV of this project =-$1200,000+$390,00/(1.09)^2 +$457,600/(1.09)^3+$348,400/(1.09)^4+$301,600/(1.09)^5
NPV =($75,559)
2. IRR of thos project
At IRR NPV = 0
0=-$1200,000+0+$390,00/(1+IRR)^2 +$457,600/(1+IRR)^3+$348,400/((1+IRR)^4+$301,600/((1+IRR)^5
Using a Spreadsheet or by trial and error method we can find IRR = 6.86%
Year Cashflow$ 2 $375000(1.04) 390,000 3 $440000(1.04) 457,600 4 $335000(1.04) 348,400 5 $290000(1.04) 301,600
