Answer:
Explanation:
a.)
Using Financial calculator, enter the following CFs to find NPV;
CF0 = -1,800,000
C01 =600,000
C02 =600,000
C03 =600,000
C04= 600,000
C05 = 600,000
Interest rate ( I ) = 8%
CPT NPV = $595,626.02
b.)
Profitability Index (PI)
<em>PI= NPV of cash inflows / Initial outlay</em>
Using Financial calculator, enter the following CFs;
Find the NPV of the expected future cash inflows;
CF0 = 0
C01 =600,000
C02 =600,000
C03 =600,000
C04= 600,000
C05 = 600,000
Interest rate ( I ) = 8%
NPV = $2,395,626.02
PI = $2,395,626.02/1,800,000 = 1.331
c.)
You can use a Financial calculator to find the IRR;
CF0 = -1,800,000
C01 =600,000
C02 =600,000
C03 =600,000
C04= 600,000
C05 = 600,000
CPT IRR = 19.86%
d.)
Based on the NPV rule, a company should accept a project if the NPV is greater than 0. This project's NPV of $595,626.02 meets this criteria , therefore, the project should be accepted.
Based on IRR rule, a company should accept a project if the IRR of the project is greater than the cost of capital; which is also the required return. The IRR of this project is 19.86% which is significantly higher than the cost of capital of 8% hence in agreement that the project should be accepted. The Profitability Index is also greater than 1 hence the project should be accepted.
