NPV Calculate the net present value (NPV) for the following 15-year projects. Comment on the acceptability of each. Assume that the firm has a cost of capital of 9%.
A. Initial investment is $1,000,000; cash inflows are $150,000 per year.
B. Initial investment is $2,500,000; cash inflows are $320,000 per year.
C. Initial investment is $3,000,000; cash inflows are $365,000 per year.
NPV Calculate the net present value (NPV) for a 15-year project with an initial investment of $30,000
and a cash inflow of $8,000 per year. Assume that the firm has an opportunity cost of 17%. Comment
on the acceptability of the project.
The project's net present value is $
(Round to the nearest cent.)
An investment project requires a net investment of $100,000 and is expected to generate annual net cash inflows of $25,000 for 6 years. The firm's cost of capital is 12%. Determine the profitability index for this project.
