Payback Period   4.08 (4+1000/12500)
Option d is correct option

2. NPV of project =PV of Cash Flows -Investment =18500/1.125+18500/1.125^2+18500/1.125^3+18500/1.125^4+12500/1.125^5+12500/1.125^6+12500/1.125^7+12500/1.125^8-75000 =4059.40 (Option a is correct option)

3. Profitability Index(PI) =1+NPV/Investment =1+4059.40/75000 =1.05

4.   Using Financial Calculator
CF0 =-75000;CF1 =18500;CF2 =18500; CF3 =18500; CF4 =18500; CF5=12500; CF6=12500; CF7 =12500; CF8=12500;
CPT IRR =14.20%
