Solution


i.) PV=120000


YEAR 1= "\\frac{25000}{1.08}=23148.14"


YEAR 2="\\frac{45000}{1.08^2}=38580.25"


YEAR 3="\\frac{65000}{1.08^3}=51599.10"


"NPV= -120000+23148.15+38580.25+51599.10"


NPV1= -6672.5


ii.) The investment should not be accepted because the NPV is a negative.


iii.) Using 12% as the discount rate

PV= 120000


1st"=\\frac{25000}{1.12}=22321.42"


2nd"=\\frac{45000}{1.12^2}=35873.72"


3rd"=\\frac{65000}{1.12^3}=46265.72"


NPV2"=-120000+22321.43+35873.72+46265.72"

= -15539.13


"IRR=R_1+\\frac{NPV_1\\times(R_2-R_1)}{{NPV_1-NPV_2}}"


IRR"=6.5" %
