Clean Tel, Inc. is considering investing in an 11-year project with annual cash inflows of $1,000,000. These cash inflows have an initial investment of $7,139,000. At what discount rate would this present value be the same as the initial investment?

a. 6%

b. 7%

c. 9%

d. 8%

d. 8%

Explanation:

The computation of the discount rate is shown below:

Initial investment = Present value of cash inflows

where,

Initial investment is $7,139,000

And, the present value of cash inflows

= Annual cash inflows × discount rate

We assume the discount rate be X

$7,139,000 = $1,000,000 × X

So,

X = 7139000 ÷ 1000000 = 7.139

= 8%

We simply applied the above formula in order to find out the discount rate

it's actually a very difficult task, due to not many people can make 2 million dollars in 2 years. besides that, to the not-so-realistic ideas, you can create a business. it could be practically anything, but make it into a business that isn't that known yet, you get me? also, lets not forget about stock market. that's where all the good stuff happens. use investments at the beginning and begin to raise up your business or whatever you're going to do. as this is a very non-realistic idea, it's still worth the shot!
