Question
Hello,
I need help applying the correct cell formulas where the question marks are and answering the required responses
Explanation / Answer
1. The NPV at 10% discount rate
The NPV has increased due to a decrease in discount factor from 14% to 10% becuase higher the discount rate, lower is the present value of future cash flows. Hence with a low discount factor, the value of cash flows has increased, thus resulting in a higher NPV.
2. a.NPV
b) At 10% discount rate, the NPV becomes positive.
c) IRR is between 10% and 11%
d) The salvage value will have to be more than $54,000 for a positive NPV
