(a) Accept a project if NPV> cost of investment (b) Accept a project if NPV is positive. (c) Accept a project if return on investment exceeds the rate of return on an equivalent-risk investment in the financial market. (d) Reject a project if NPV is negative.

Explanation / Answer

1.

Present Value, P = F/(1+r)^t

F, Future value = 242
t, year = 2
r, interest rate = 0.10

P = 242/(1.1)^2
P = $200
