Summary Introduction

Adequate information:

The initial cost = I

Required return = r

Annual cash flow = C

Number of years = N.

To compute: The annual cash flow for which the payback period is equal to the life of the project.

Introduction: The payback period is the minimum period of time in which an initial investment of the project is recovered from the net cash inflows that it generates.

To compute: The value at which the company will have a positive NPV.

You have determined the profitability of a planned project by finding the present value of all the cash flows from that project. Which of the following would cause the project to look more appealing in terms of the present value of those cash flows? A. The discount rate increases. B. The cash flows are extended over a longer period of time, but the total amount of the cash flows remains the same. C. The discount rate decreases. D. Answers B and C above. E. Answers A and B above.
Which of the following statements is true? The internal rate of return is the rate of return of an investment project over its useful life. When the net cash inflow is the same every year for a project after the initial investment, the internal rate of return of a project can be determined by dividing the initial investment required in the project by the annual net cash inflow. This computation yields a factor that can be looked up in a table of present values of annuities to find the internal rate of return. Multiple Choice Only statement I is true. Only statement II is true. Both statements are true.
The internal rate of return (IRR) on a project is the average annual rate of return provided by investing in the project. A. Explain this thoroughly. B. Give some example if you have any idea.
