10a- Your firm is evaluating a capital budgeting project. The
estimated cash flows appear below. The board of directors wants to
know the expected impact on shareholder wealth. Knowing that the
estimated impact on shareholder wealth equates to net present value
(NPV), you use your handy calculator to compute the value. What is
the project's NPV? Assume that the cash flows occur at the end of
each year. The discount rate (i.e., required rate of return, hurdle
rate) is 14.4%. (Round to nearest penny)
Year 0 cash flow | -133,000 |
Year 1 cash flow | 53,000 |
Year 2 cash flow | 40,000 |
Year 3 cash flow | 45,000 |
Year 4 cash flow | 42,000 |
Year 5 cash flow | 30,000 |
