A project costs €80 000 today and returns €30 500 at the end of each year for 4 years. The required rate of return is 12%. Find the net present value NPV.

r = 12%CF0 = −80 000CF1 = 30 500CF2 = 30 500CF3 = 30 500CF4 = 30 500
NPV = €

A project costs €80 000 today and returns €37 000 at the end of each year for 3 years. The required rate of return is 15%. Find the net present value NPV.

r = 15%CF0 = −80 000CF1 = 37 000CF2 = 37 000CF3 = 37 000
NPV = €

An investment of €45 000 gives these cash flows at the end of years 1 to 4: €17 000, €20 000, €20 000, €17 000. The cost of capital is 15%. Find the net present value NPV.

r = 15%CF0 = −45 000CF1 = 17 000CF2 = 20 000CF3 = 20 000CF4 = 17 000

A project costs €250 000 today. It generates €26 000 at the end of the first year, and the cash flow then grows by 2% per year forever. The cost of capital is 10%. Find the net present value NPV.

C0 = €250 000CF1 = €26 000g = 2%r = 10%
NPV = €

An investment of €40 000 returns €10 000 at the end of each year for 9 years. Find its internal rate of return IRR in percent.

C0 = €40 000CF = €10 000n = 9
IRR = %

An investment of €50 000 returns €9 500 at the end of each year for 6 years. Find its internal rate of return IRR in percent.

C0 = €50 000CF = €9 500n = 6
IRR = %
