Question

[what i would like to know is what i need to plug in to my financial calculator]

An investment has an installed cost of $400,000. The cash flows over the five-year life of the investment are projected to be $240,000, $163,200, $124,032, $104,187, and $95,852 respectively.

c) At what discount rate is the NPV just equal to zero? (In percentage form, rounded to the nearest whole percent)

The correct answer was: 30.00%

Let's denote r as the discount rate.



By using a financial calculator or by trial and error, the discount rate = 30%

You will lose 2 marks for this part.


d) Complete the following table.

Discount rateNPV1%$414%$428%$332%$342%$3


Marking:
NPV at 1% discount rate should be $309,313.86
NPV at 14% discount rate should be $131,291.08
NPV at 28% discount rate should be $12,961.73
NPV at 32% discount rate should be -$12,354.16
NPV at 42% discount rate should be -$64,504.82

We know that NPV = -$400,000 + $240,000 (1+r) +
