Comparing all methods. Risky Business is looking at a project with the following estimated cash flow: Initial investment at start of project: $12,300,000 Cash flow at end of year one: $2,214,000 Cash flow at end of years two through six: $2,460,000 each year Cash flow at end of years seven through nine: $2,878,200 each year Cash flow at end of year ten: $2,214,000 Risky Business wants to know the payback period, NPV, IRR, MIRR, and PI of this project. The appropriate discount rate for the project is 10%. If the cutoff period is 6 years for major projects, determine whether the management at Risky Business will accept or reject the project under the five different decision models.

| 9 | 2878200 | 10848600 | 
| 10 | 2214000 | 13062600 | 
| Payback period is the time by which undiscounted cashflow cover the intial investment outlay | 
| this is happening between year 5 and 6 | 
| therefore by interpolation payback period = 5 + (0-(-246000))/(2214000-(-246000)) | 
| 5.1 Years | 
accept project as payback period is less than cut off period of 6 years

| Combination approach | 
| All negative cash flows are discounted back to the present and all positive cash flows are compounded out | 
| to the end of the project’s life | 
| Thus year 8 modified cash flow=(5220496.19)+(5273228.47)+(4793844.07)+(4358040.06)+(3961854.6)+(3601686)+(3830884.2)+(3482622)+(3166020)+(2214000) |
