1.Easy

A project costs €10 000 today and returns €4 000 at the end of each year for 4 years. The required rate of return is 7.000000000000001%. Find the net present value NPV.

r = 7.000000000000001%CF₀ = −10 000CF₁ = 4 000CF₂ = 4 000CF₃ = 4 000CF₄ = 4 000

NPV = €

2.Easy

A project costs €30 000 today and returns €9 500, €10 000, €12 000, €10 500 at the end of years 1 to 4. Assume cash flows arrive evenly through each year. Find the payback period PB in years.

CF₀ = −30 000CF₁ = 9 500CF₂ = 10 000CF₃ = 12 000CF₄ = 10 500

PB = years

3.Medium

An investment of €30 000 gives these cash flows at the end of years 1 to 3: €10 000, €7 000, €8 000. The cost of capital is 8%. Find the net present value NPV.

r = 8%CF₀ = −30 000CF₁ = 10 000CF₂ = 7 000CF₃ = 8 000

NPV = €

4.Medium

An investment of €45 000 gives these cash flows at the end of years 1 to 4: €16 000, €14 000, €16 000, €13 000. The cost of capital is 8%. Find the net present value NPV.

r = 8%CF₀ = −45 000CF₁ = 16 000CF₂ = 14 000CF₃ = 16 000CF₄ = 13 000

NPV = €

5.Hard

A project costs €25 000 and returns €13 000, €10 000, €18 500 at the end of years 1 to 3. Find its internal rate of return IRR in percent.

CF₀ = −25 000CF₁ = 13 000CF₂ = 10 000CF₃ = 18 500

IRR = %

6.Hard

A project costs €25 000 and returns €18 500, €17 500 at the end of years 1 to 2. Find its internal rate of return IRR in percent.

CF₀ = −25 000CF₁ = 18 500CF₂ = 17 500

IRR = %

Answer key

1. NPV = 3549 €
2. PB = 2.875 years
3. NPV = −8389 €
4. NPV = 4074 €
5. IRR = 28.21 %
6. IRR = 28.48 %
