please do on excel. At time 0 a project requires an initial Cash Flow of CF0=-3,000. The project currently
pays CF1=600(year 1) and is expected to grow at g=5.5% per year. Thus, the cash
flows at the beginning of year 1 and on, are CF1,CF2=CF1(1+g),CF3=CF2(1+g)=
CF1(1+g)2 etc. The cash flows are expected to last for 20 years - that is including the initial
outlay from 0-20.
Assuming a discount rate of 3.5%, use Excel to plot by year, the cash flows, and the
present value of each cash flow. Use two methods to calculate the NPV of the project:
one uses the sum and the other one the inbuilt NPV function. Express your answer in
currency. Find the effective rate of discount (IRR) using the inbuilt function.
Repeat the same exercise as in 1. for the case in which you have two rates of growth a
high growth rate (gh) for a certain number of years and then a more normal growth
rate (gn) for the remaining periods. Assume that the first cash flow in year 1 is CF1=
600, that gh=8% applies for the first 6 years (until year 6 included) and gn=4%
applies for the remaining 14 years that is from year 7 to year 20.
