Question

For the given cash flows, suppose the firm uses the NPV decision rule.
  


At a required return of 9 percent, what is the NPV of the project? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
  
NPV            $

At a required return of 21 percent, what is the NPV of the project? (A negative answer should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
  
NPV   

Year Cash Flow 0 –$ 153,000 1 63,000 2 76,000 3 60,000

Explanation / Answer

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

=63000/1.09+76000/1.09^2+60000/1.09^3

=$168096.85

NPV=Present value of inflows-Present value of outflows

=$168096.85-$153000

=$15096.85(Approx)

At 21%:

Present value of inflows=63000/1.21+76000/1.21^2+60000/1.21^3

=$137843.57

NPV =$137843.57-$153000

=-$15156.43(Negative).
