Apotential cb project has the following cash flows: cf0 = -$500, cf1 = $300, cf2 = $200, cf3 = $150. wacc = 6%. compute the following(show work): a. what is payback period: b. what is npv: c. what is irr:

A. 2 years

B. 86.96

C. 16.46%

Explanation:

Payback period calculates the amount of time taken to recoup the initial investment made on a project.

The net present value substracts the present value of tax adjusted cash flows from the amount invested in the project.

Using the financial calculator to find the NPV:

Cash flow for year 0 = -500

Cash flow for year 1 = 300

Cash flow for year 2 = 200

Cash flow for year 3 = 150

Interest rate = 6%

NPV = $86.96

Internal rate of return is the discount rate that equates the tax adjusted cash flows from a project to the original amount invested.

Using the financial calculator to find the NPV:

Cash flow for year 0 = -500

Cash flow for year 1 = 300

Cash flow for year 2 = 200

Cash flow for year 3 = 150

Interest rate = 6%

IRR = 16.46%
