0 | –$ | 27,400 | |
1 | 11,400 | ||
2 | 14,400 | ||
3 | 10,400 | ||
What is the NPV for the project if the required return is 12 percent? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) |
NPV | $ |
At a required return of 12 percent, should the firm accept this project? | ||||
|
What is the NPV for the project if the required return is 24 percent? (Negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) |
