Question

A firm evaluates all of its projects by applying the NPV decision rule. A project under consideration has the following cash flows:

  

Year	Cash Flow
0	$	-27,700
1		11,700
2		14,700
3		10,700

  

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.)

  

At a required return of 12 percent, should the firm accept this project?

Yes No

What is the NPV for the project if the required return is 24 percent? (A negative answer should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)

  

At a required return of 24 percent, should the firm accept this project?

Yes No

Answer 1

Statement showing Cash flows
Particulars	Time	PVf 12%	Amount	PV
Cash Outflows	-	1.00	(27,700.00)	(27,700.00)
PV of Cash outflows = PVCO				(27,700.00)
Cash inflows	1.00	0.8929	11,700.00	10,446.43
Cash inflows	2.00	0.7972	14,700.00	11,718.75
Cash inflows	3.00	0.7118	10,700.00	7,616.05
PV of Cash Inflows =PVCI				29,781.23
NPV= PVCI - PVCO				2,081.23
Yes since NPV is positive a 12%

PV of Cash Inflows =PVCI				24,607.85
NPV= PVCI - PVCO				(3,092.15)
No since NPV is negative at 24%
