Expert Solution

Calculation of WACC:

Particular	Rate(in%)	Weight	Weighted Rate
Debt	4.8	0.4	1.92
Equity	15	0.6	9
WACC	10.92

Note Rate of debt hax been taken after tax i.e. 8*(1-.4)

Calculation of NPV:

Year	Cash flow(in million)	PV factor=1/(1.1092^n)	*PV=PV facCF**
0	-15	1	-15
1	1	0.901550667	0.901550667
2	1.75	0.812793605	1.42238881
3	3	0.732774617	2.198323852
4	-4.5	0.660633445	-2.972850503
5	3	0.595594523	1.786783569
6	2.2	0.53695864	1.181309007
7	20	0.48409542	9.681908396
Net Present Value	-0.800586201

As NPV is negative, project is not acceptable.

Calculation of IRR:

Year	Cash flow(in million)
0	-15
1	1
2	1.75
3	3
4	-4.5
5	3
6	2.2
7	20
IRR	9.8784%

Note IRR has been calculated as follows:

As the IRR is lower than WACC, project is not acceptable.
