0.00 points Problem 9-9 Calculating NPV and IRR [LO1, 5] A project that provides annual cash flows of $16,600 for eight years costs $72,000 today. What is the NPV for the project if the required return is 7 percent? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) At a required return of 7 percent, should the firm accept this project? Accept Reject What is the NPV for the project if the required return is 19 percent? (Negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) NPV At a required return of 19 percent, should the firm accept this project? O Accept Reject At what discount rate would you be indifferent between accepting the project and rejecting it? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) Discount rate

Explanation / Answer

Case 1

a. NPV = $27,123.56

b. Accept

As NPV in below working is positive, accept the project.

Rate = R = 7%

Case 3:

Discount rate = 16.04%

Using financial calculator BA II Plus - Input details:

PMT = Payment = Cash flow

$16,600

CPT > I/Y = Rate or yield = Indifferent rate =

Convert Rate in % form = I/Y /100 =
