An investment project has the following cash flows: CF0 = -1,000,000; C01 – C08 = 200,000 each
If the required rate of return is 12%, what decision should be
made using NPV?
NPV=-1000000+200000/12%*(1-1/1.12^8)=-6472.046632
Reject the project
How would the IRR decision rule be used for this project, and
what decision would be reached?
IRR:
-1000000+200000/IRR*(1-1/(1+IRR)^8)=0
=>IRR=11.81%
Reject the project
