(Payback period, NPV, PI, and IRR calculations) You are considering a project with an initial cash outlay of $70,000 and expected free cash flows of $28,000 at the end of each year for 5 years. The required rate of return for this project is 8 percent.
a. What is the project's payback period?
b. What is the project's NPV?
c. What is the project's PI?
d. What is the project's IRR?
a)
| Year | Cash flow stream | Cumulative cash flow |
| 0 | -70000 | -70000 |
| 1 | 28000 | -42000 |
| 2 | 28000 | -14000 |
| 3 | 28000 | 14000 |
| 4 | 28000 | 42000 |
| 5 | 28000 | 70000 |
| Payback period is the time by which undiscounted cashflow cover the intial investment outlay | |||||
| this is happening between year 2 and 3 | |||||
| therefore by interpolation payback period = 2 + (0-(-14000))/(14000-(-14000)) | |||||
