a. Prepare an NPV profile of the purchase.

To plot the NPV profile, we compute the NPV of the project for various discount rates and plot the curve.

The NPV for a discount rate of 2.0% is $____ million. (Round to one decimal place.)

The NPV for a discount rate of 11.5% is $____ million. (Round to one decimal place.)

The NPV for a discount rate of 17.0% is $____ million. (Round to one decimal place.)

The NPV profile is: b. Identify the IRR on the graph.

The approximate IRR from the graph is ___% (Round your answer to one decimal place.)

c. Should OpenSeas go ahead with the purchase? (Select the best choice below.)

Yes, because at a discount rate of 11.3%, the NPV is positive

Yes, because at a discount rate of 11.3%, the NPV is negative

No, because at a discount rate of 11.3%, the NPV is negative

No, because at a discount rate of 11.3%, the NPV is positive

d. How far off could OpenSeas's cost of capital estimate be before your purchase decision would change?

(Note: Subtract the discount rate from the approximate IRR.) The cost of capital estimate __%.(Round to one decimal place.)

OpenSeas, Inc. is evaluating the purchase of a new cruise ship. The ship will cost $502 million and will operate for 20 years. OpenSeas expects annual cash flows from operating the ship to be $68.3 million and its cost of capital is 11.3%. a. Prepare an NPV profile of the purchase. b. Identify the IRR on the graph. c. Should OpenSeas go ahead with the purchase? d. How far off could OpenSeas's cost of capital estimate be before your purchase decision would change? NPV Profile of Cruise Ship Investment
