Consider the following project cash flow. YEAR CASH FLOW 0 -1000 1 500 2 500 3 500 4 500 5 500 Use this information to calculate the Internal Rate of Return by linear interpolation(the trial and error method). WITH WORKING PLEASE

Determine the rate of return for the cash flows shown in the diagram. Use trial and error (start with two trials with 5% and 10% interest rates) and then use interpolation (or more trials) to approximate the result. Roh?? S7000 1- ? Year 590 s90 s90 sz00 sz00 sz00 $3000

A characteristic of the payback method is that it: (See your Chapter 25 notes, page 9) Uses accrual accounting inflows in the numerator of the calculation Uses the estimated expected useful life of the asset in the denominator of the calculation Incorporates cash flows received after the payback period has been reached Is based on accounting income Incorporates the time value of money Ignores total project profitability

Consider two assets with the following cash flow streams:   Asset A generates $4 at t=1, $3 at t=2, and $10 at t=3. Asset B generates $2 at t=1, $X at t=2, and $10 at t=3.   Suppose X=6 and the interest rate r is constant.   For r=0.1, calculate the present value of the two assets. Determine the set of all interest rates {r} such that asset A is more valuable than asset Draw the present value of the assets as a function of the interest rate. Suppose r=0.2. Find the value X such that the present value of asset B is 12. Suppose the (one-period) interest rates are variable and given as follows: r01=0.1,r12=0.2, r23=0.3. Calculate the yield to maturity of asset A. (You can use Excel or ascientific calculator to find the solution numerically.)
