A project has an initial cost of $52,125, expected net cash inflows of $12,000 per year for 8 years, and a cost of capital of 12%. What is the project's NPV? (Hint: Begin by constructing a time line).

NPV = -$52,125 + $12,000[(1/I)-(1/(I*(1+I)N)]
= -$52,125 + $12,000[(1/0.12)-(1/(0.12*(1+0.12)8)]
= $7,486.68.
Financial calculator: Input the appropriate cash flows into the cash flow register, input I = 12, and then solve for NPV = $7,486.68.

(10-2) IRR
Refer to Problem 10-1. What is the project's IRR?

Financial calculator: Input the appropriate cash flows into the cash flow register and then
solve for IRR = 16%.

Please see the attached Excel sheet

(10-3) MIRR
Refer to Problem 10-1. What is the project's MIRR?

Please see the attached excel sheet

Financial calculator: Obtain the FVA by inputting N = 8, I/YR = 12, PV = 0, PMT = 12000, and then solve for FV = $147,596. The MIRR can be obtained by inputting N = 8,
PV = -52125, PMT = 0, FV = 147596, and then solving for I = 13.89%.

(10-4) Profitability Index
Refer to Problem 10-1. What is the project's PI?

PV = $12,000[(1/I)-(1/(I*(1+I)N)]
= $12,000[(1/0.12)-(1/(0.12*(1+0.12)8)]
= $59,611.68.

Financial calculator: Find present value of future cash flows by inputting N = 8, I/YR = 12, PMT = -12000, FV = 0, then solve for PV = $59,611.68.

PI = PV of future cash ...
