A new computer system will require an initial outlay of $12,850, but it will increase the firm's cash flows by $3,000 a year for each of the next 6 years. a. Calculate the NPV and decide if the system is worth installing if the required rate of return is 8%. Note: Negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to 2 decimal places. Net present value Worth installing b. Calculate the NPV and decide if the system is worth installing if the required rate of return is 13%. Note: Negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to 2 decimal places. Net present value Worth installing

A project that costs $3,200 to install will provide annual cash flows of $670 for the next 6 years. The firm accepts projects with payback periods of less than 4 years.   a. What is this project's payback period? (Round your answer to 3 decimal places.) b. Will the project be accepted? c-1. What is project NPV if the discount rate is 3%? (Negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) c-2. Should this project be pursued? d-1. What is project NPV if the discount rate is 9%? (Negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) d-2. Should this project be pursued? e. Will the firm’s decision change as the discount rate changes?

An investment under consideration has a payback of seven years and a cost of $870,000. Assume the cash flows are conventional. If the required return is 11 percent, what is the worst-case NPV? (A negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) Answer is complete but not entirely correct. Worst-case NPV $ 3,270,444.91 ×
