Impact of inflation on investments Personal Finance Problem You are interested in an investment project that costs $43,875 initially. The investment has a 5 -year horizon and promises future end-of-year cash inflows of $11,700,$12,285,$11,115,$8,775, and $8,190, respectively. Your current opportunity cost is 6.39% per year. However, the Fed has stated that inflation may rise by 1.5% or may fall by the same amount over the next 5 years. Assume a direct positive impact of inflation on the discount rate (i.e., a 1.5% increase in inflation moves the discount rate from 6.39% to 7.89% ) and answer the following questions. (Assume that inflation has an impact on the discount rate, but that the cash flows are contractually fixed and are not affected by inflation.) a. What is the net present value (NPV) of the investment under the current required rate of return? b. What is the net present value (NPV) of the investment under a period of higher inflation? c. What is the net present value (NPV) of the investment under a period of lower inflation
