Answer:

Part 1. NPV $346,465

Part 2. IRR is 19.8%

Part 3. 3 Years

Part 4. 13.33%

Explanation:

<u>Part 1.</u>

 3            800,000    0.6750          539,977  

 4            800,000    0.5921                  473,664  

 5            800,000    0.5194                  <u> 415,495 </u>

               NPV                                 $346,465

   

<u>Part 2.</u>

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

 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       <u> 415,495 </u>         0.4019            <u> 321,502</u>

                             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%

<u>Part 3.</u>

Now by putting values, we have:

Payback Period = Initial Investment / Cash flow Per Period

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

<u>Part 4.</u>

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%
