Problem:
You are considering making an investment in a project. The initial cost (I0) equals $1,200. In return for this initial outlay, you will own the rights to three future cash flows: CF1 = $300, CF2 = $400, and CF3 = $500. First, if the appropriate discount rate for this investment is 12%, what is the NPV for this project? Second, what discount rate would create a situation such that NPV = 0, i.e. what discount rate would make NPV = 0? Make sure that you show your explanation for part two of this question with an NPV calculation - do not just provide a rate. Third, what is the IRR for this project?
Additional Information:
The question is from Finance as well as it is about computation of NPV if the project's discount rate is 12%, the discount rate if NPV = 0 and IRR for the project need to be computed. These have been computed in detail in the solution.
