Derrick iverson is a divisional manager for holston company. his annual pay raises are largely determined by his division's return on investment (roi), which has been above 20% each of the last three years. derrick is considering a capital budgeting project that would require a $3,300,000 investment in equipment with a useful life of five years and no salvage value. holston company's discount rate is 17%. the project would provide net operating income each year for five years as follows:

a. Compute the project's net present value.

b. Compute the project's internal rate of return.

Explanation:

we need to calculate the net cash flows = net operating income + depreciation expense = $300,000 + $600,000 = $900,000

now we need to determine the net present value (NPV):

Using an excel spreadsheet and the NPV function with  17% discount rate:

NPV = discounted cash flows - initial investment = $2,879,411.55 - $3,300,000 = -$420,588.45

We can also calculate the internal rate of return using excel and the IRR function:

IRR = 11.32%

the answer to this question would be shared investment
