Problem 3 - Net present value

A project has estimated annual net cash flows of $10,000 for two years and is estimated to cost $50,000. Assume a minimum acceptable rate of return of 10%. Use the Present Value of an Annuity of $1 at Compound Interest table below.

Present Value of an Annuity of $1 at Compound Interest
Year	6%	10%	12%	15%	20%
1	0.943	0.909	0.893	0.870	0.833
2	1.833	1.736	1.690	1.626	1.528
3	2.673	2.487	2.402	2.283	2.106
4	3.465	3.170	3.037	2.855	2.589
5	4.212	3.791	3.605	3.353	2.991
6	4.917	4.355	4.111	3.785	3.326
7	5.582	4.868	4.564	4.160	3.605
8	6.210	5.335	4.968	4.487	3.837
9	6.802	5.759	5.328	4.772	4.031
10	7.360	6.145	5.650	5.019	4.192

Determine (a) the net present value of the project and (b) the present value index. If required, use the minus sign to indicate a negative net present value.

Problem 4 - Internal rate of return

A project is estimated to cost $316,480 and provide annual net cash flows of $43,000 for 10 years.

Present Value of an Annuity of $1 at Compound Interest
Year	6%	10%	12%	15%	20%
1	0.943	0.909	0.893	0.870	0.833
2	1.833	1.736	1.690	1.626	1.528
3	2.673	2.487	2.402	2.283	2.106
4	3.465	3.170	3.037	2.855	2.589
5	4.212	3.791	3.605	3.353	2.991
6	4.917	4.355	4.111	3.785	3.326
7	5.582	4.868	4.564	4.160	3.605
8	6.210	5.335	4.968	4.487	3.837
9	6.802	5.759	5.328	4.772	4.031
10	7.360	6.145	5.650	5.019	4.192

Determine the internal rate of return for this project, using the Present Value of an Annuity of $1 at Compound Interest table shown above.
