K Question 2 (of 5) 2 value 10.00 points A project that provides annual cash flows of $16,300 for eight years costs $69,000 today What is the NPV for the project if the required return is 7 percent? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) At a required retum of 7 percent, should the firm accept this project? Accept Reject What is the NPV for the project if the required retum is 19 percent? (Negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) At a required return of 19 percent, should the fim accept this project? Reject At what discount rate would you be indifferent between accepting the project and rejecting it? (Do not 32.16.) ations. Enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g nt rate Hints References eBook & Resources

Explanation / Answer

TOTAL inflow at present value= $ 97,332

TOTAL Outflow= $ 69,000

NPV= 97,332-69,000 = $ 28,332

2. Firm should accept the project as NPV is positive

TOTAL inflow at present value= $ 64,456

TOTAL Outflow= $ 69,000

NPV= 97,332-69,000 = $ (4,544)

4. At 19% rate of return, firm should not accept the project as NPV is negative.

5. Indifference point would be the rate of return where PV of inflows equals the Outflow. that is IRR- Internal Rate of Return

At 16 % rate of return NPV is positive $ 1,800 and at 17% NPV is negative $ 423. so indifference point is somewhere between 16 % to 17%

16% + (17%-16%) x 1800/ (1800+423)

=16.80%

At 16.80% Firm's present value of Inflows equals the Outflows.
