-$100,000    -$125,000
1 $25,000       $25,000
2 $30,000       $35,000
3 $30,000      $35,000
4 $25,000      $35,000
5 $30,000      $45,000

If Denver's cost of capital is 15 percent, defend which project would you choose.

We will select the project with the higher NPV provided it is positive

Net Present Value

To calculate the NPV ( Net Present Value) we discount the cash flow at the given discount rates

A

discount rate= 15%

Year Cash flow PV factor @15.% Discounted cash flow=

0 ($100,000) 1 -100,000 =-100000*1
1 $25,000 0.869565 21,739 =25000*0.869565
2 $30,000 0.756144 22,684 =30000*0.756144
3 $30,000 0.657516 19,725 =30000*0.657516
4 $25,000 0.571753 14,294 =25000*0.571753
5 $30,000 0.497177 14,915 =30000*0.497177
NPV= -6,643

NPV = -6,643

B

discount rate= 15%

Year Cash flow PV factor @15.% Discounted cash flow=

0 ($125,000) 1 -125,000 =-125000*1
1 $25,000 0.869565 21,739 =25000*0.869565
2 $35,000 0.756144 26,465 =35000*0.756144
3 $35,000 ...
