A task force of capital budgeting analysts at Morrison Ltd. collected the following data concerning the drilling and production of known petroleum reserves at an offshore location: Table 6-4. (Use appropriate factor(s) from the table provided. Round the PV factors to 4 decimals.)

Investment in rigging equipment and related personnel costs required to pump the oil	$	6,200,000
Net increase in inventory and receivables associated with the drilling and production of the reserves. Assume this investment will be recovered at the end of the project		1,120,000
Net cash inflow from operations for the expected life of the reserves, by year:
2016		1,920,000
2017		3,520,000
2018		1,620,000
Salvage value of machinery and equipment at the end of the well's productive life		1,110,000
Cost of capital		10	%

Required:

a. Calculate the net present value of the proposed investment in the drilling and production operation. Assume that the investment will be made at the beginning of 2016, and the net cash inflows from operations will be received in a lump sum at the end of each year (Ignore income taxes).

Net present level =

b. What will the internal rate of return on this investment be relative to the cost of capital?

Because the net present value is _positiveegative____, the internal rate of return will be _higer/lower___ than the cost of capital.

c. Differences between estimates made by the task force and actual results would have an effect on the actual rate of return on the project. For each estimate, state the effect on the actual ROI if the estimate turns out to be less than the actual amount finally achieved.

Estimate:	Effect if estimate is less than actual:
Investment cost	Actual NPV and ROI will be less/more/same as		than indicated.
Annual cash inflows	Actual NPV and ROI will be less/more/same as		than indicated.
Cost of capital	Actual NPV and ROI will be less/more/same as		than indicated.
