Question
I just need to verify that these IRRs are correct.
Your firm has been hired to develop new software for the university's class registration system. Under the contract, you will receive $500,000 as an
upfront payment. You expect the development costs to be $447,000 per year for the next 3 years. Once the new system is in place, you will receive
a final payment of $881,000 from the university 4 years from now.
a. What are the IRRs of this opportunity? (Hint: Build an Excel model which tests the NPV at 1% intervals from 1% to 40%. Then zero in on the
rates at which the NPV changes signs.)
b. If your cost of capital is 10%, is the opportunity attractive?
Suppose you are able to renegotiate the terms of the contract so that your final payment in year 4 will be $1.2 million.
c. What is the IRR of the opportunity now?
d. Is it attractive at the new terms?
...
The IRRs of the project in ascending order are 6.75% and 31.68 %. (Round to two decimal places.)
b. If your cost of capital is 10%, is the opportunity attractive?
If your cost of capital is 10%, the opportunity is not attractive (Select from the drop-down menu.)
