Part 2. IRR is 19.8%

Part 3. 3 Years

Part 4. 13.33%

Explanation:

Part 1.

Year Cash Flow DF at 14% Discounted Cash flow

0 -2,400,000 1.00 -2,400,000

1 800,000 0.8772 701,754

2 800,000 0.7695 615,574

3 800,000 0.6750 539,977

4 800,000 0.5921 473,664

5 800,000 0.5194 415,495

NPV $346,465

Part 2.

Year Cash Flow DF at 14% Disc.Cash flow DF at 20% Disc. Cash flow

0 -2,400,000 1.0000 -2,400,000 1.0000 -2400,000

1 800,000 0.8772 701,754 0.8333 666,667

2 800,000 0.7695 615,574 0.6944 555,556

3 800,000 0.6750 539,977 0.5787 462,963

4 800,000 0.5921 473,664 0.4823 385,802

5 800,000 0.5194 415,495 0.4019 321,502

NPV $346,465 -$7510

IRR can be calculated by using the following formula:

IRR = R at lower %age + (R at Higher %age - R at Lower %age) * NPV at lower Percentage / (NPV at Higher %age - NPV at Lower %age)

Now by putting values, we have:

IRR = 14% + (20% - 14%) * 346,465 / (346,465 + 7510)

IRR = 14% + 5.8% = 19.8%

Part 3.

Now by putting values, we have:

Payback Period = Initial Investment / Cash flow Per Period

Payback Period = $2,400,000 / $800,000 = 3 Years

Part 4.

As we know that:

Simple Rate Of Return = Net operating income ÷ Initial investment

Now by putting values, we have:

Simple Rate Of Return = $320,000 / $2,400,000 = 13.33%
