14 Toolkit Decision Rules PBAK IRR NPV Calculating NPV IR
14. (Toolkit – Decision Rules – PBAK, IRR, NPV) Calculating NPV & IRR: Your next project provides an annual cash flow of $15,400 for nine years and costs $67,000 today. Is this a good project at 8% required return? How about 20%?
Question 14 options:
Yes, Yes
Yes, No
No, Yes
No, No
| Yes, Yes | |
| Yes, No | |
| No, Yes | |
| No, No |
Solution
Correct option is > Yes, No
Reason: NPV is positive for 8% required rate of return and NPV is negative for 20% required rate of return.
NPV with 8% required return

Cash flows = CF
Df = 1/(1+8%)^Year
Present Value = CF x Df
