Determine the rate of return for this project.
Year | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 |
Cash flow | -$12,300 | $4000 | $4000 | $3000 | $3000 | $3000 |
14.21% |
||
12.75% |
||
13.11% |
||
13.85% |
Ans. 12.75%
Here, 3000 is for year 1&2, 1000 is for year 3 to 5 & PW of Cost = 12300
Now,
PW of Cost = PW of Benefits
By trial and error method:
If i = 12%:
If i = 15%:
Now, by interpolation method:
