Question

Can someone please explain how to do the last two parts? (d-1, d-2) I have a financial calculator I am using. It would really help if you could explaon the process or show your work. Thank you.

Suppose you are offered $9,700 today but must make the following payments Year Cash Flows ($) $ 9,700 2 3 4 5,100 3,800 2,900 1,900 a. What is the IRR of this offer? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) IRR 18.60 % b. If the appropriate discount rate is 13 percent, should you accept this offer? Reject Accept c. If the appropriate discount rate is 24 percent, should you accept this offer? Accept Reject d-1. What is the NPV of the offer if the appropriate discount rate is 13 percent? (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 d-2. What is the NPV of the offer if the appropriate discount rate is 24 percent? (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

Explanation / Answer

The best way to find the NPV of all cash flows after t=0 is by using the NPV Function in Microsoft Excel = NPV(rate, values)

d-1) NPV of the offer when the discount rate is 13% =

(PV of t=0) + NPV(13%,-5100,-3800,-2900,-1900)

= 9,700 - 10,664.38

-> NPV of offer = - $964.38

d-2) NPV of the offer when the discount rate is 24% =

(PV of t=0) + NPV(24%,-5100,-3800,-2900,-1900)

= 9,700 - 8,908.95

-> NPV of offer = $791.05
