Year 0: 74000
Year 1: -49000
Year 2: -41000
What is the IRR for this project? If the required return is 12%, should the firm accept the project? What is the NPV of this project? What is the NPV of the project if the required return is 0%? 24%? What is going on here? Explain your answer
7. The NPV and payback period
What information does the payback period provide?
Suppose you are evaluating a project with the expected future cash inflows shown in the following table. Your boss has asked you to calculate the project’s net present value (NPV). You don’t know the project’s initial cost, but you do know the project’s regular, or conventional, payback period is 2.50 years.
