You are the financial manager of a firm that is contemplating investing $25,000 in a new project that you expect will generate cash flows of $10,000 per year for five years and then $15,000 per year for another two years. At the end of seven years you expect to sell the project's assets for $50,000. You believe that you should earn at least 14% to compensate the shareholders for the project's risk.
