Using a spreadsheet generate your own set of Discount and Annuity
Tables for, say, all discount rates between 1% and 20% (at 1 percentage
point intervals) and for time periods 1 to 30 (at one time period
intervals), as well as time periods 50 and 100. You should generate these
tables by inserting the numbers for the time periods in the first column
of each row and the discount rates in the first row of each column, and
then inserting the appropriate formula into one cell of the table - year 1
at 1% - and then copying it to all other cells in the matrix. (Hint: Do not
forget to anchor the references to periods and discount rates using the
"$" symbol.)
Answer: Write the discount formula into spreadsheet as shown below and then copy
across 20 columns (headed 1% through 20%) and down 50 rows (headed 1 to 50).

A firm has a capital budget of $100 which must be spent on one of two
projects, each requiring a present outlay of $100. Project A yields a return
of $120 after one year, whereas Project B yields $201.14 after 5 years.
Calculate:
(i) the NPV of each project using a discount rate of 10%;
(ii) the IRR of each project.
What are the project rankings on the basis of these two investment
decision rules? Suppose that you are told that the firm's reinvestment
rate is 12%, which project should the firm choose?
Answer:
(i)NPV(A) = 9.09; NPV(B) = 24.89, B>A
(ii) IRR(A) = 20%; IRR(B) = 15%, A>B
Using a reinvestment rate of 12% the terminal values are TV(A) = 188.82; TV(B) = 201.14,
hence B>A. Alternatively calculate the IRR of (B-A): IRR(B-A) = 13.78% > 12%, hence
undertake the “extra project” (B-A) ie. undertake B.
