Question

1. Compute the IRR static for Project E. The appropriate cost of capital is 8 percent. (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your final answer to 2 decimal places.)

    

2. Compute the PI static for Project Z if the appropriate cost of capital is 8 percent. (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your final answer to 2 decimal places.)

   

1. Compute the IRR static for Project E. The appropriate cost of capital is 8 percent. (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your final answer to 2 decimal places.)

Explanation / Answer

1. Computation of IRR where cost of capital, i = 8%

0 = -$1,000/(1+IRR)0 + $350/(1+IRR)1 + $480/(1+IRR)2 + $520/(1+IRR)3 + $300/(1+IRR)4 + $100/(1+IRR)5

by hit and trial method,

assuming IRR as 25% we get PV as $1,009.10, and

assuming IRR as 26% we get PV as $990.64

By Interpolating,

IRR - 25%  = $1,000 - $1,009.10

26% - 25% $990.64 - $1,009.10

Computing, we get IRR = 25.49%

Since, IRR > Cost of capital i.e., i, the project should be accepted.

2. Calculation of PI static for Project Z if i = 8%

PI = Present Value of future cash flows

Initial Investment

Present Value of cash flows = $350/(1.08)1 + $480/(1.08)2 + $650/(1.08)3 + $300/(1.08)4 + $100/(1.08)5

= $1,540.16

PI = $1,540.16 / $ 1,000 = 1.54016

Since PI > 1, the project should be accepted.
