Explanation / Answer

24.

Therefore the option is C, $27134.

25. Internal rate of return is a discount rate that makes the net present value (NPV) of all cash flows from a particular project equal to zero. NPV is $27134 @ 15%. For NPV to become zero, IRR will be somewhere around 15%-16%. Using trail and error method, IRR is calculated as follows:

IRR = 15% + (605472 - 600000) / (605472 - 589504) x (16% - 15%)

= 15% + ( 5472 / 15968 ) x 1%

= 15.3439%. Hence option is D, NONE

26.

Pay back period = Initial Investment / Net annual cash inflow

= 600000 / (400000-240000)

= 600000 / 160000

= 3. 75 years. Therefore the option is A.
