Question
Perform a financial analysis for a project. Assume that the projected costs and benefits for this
project are spread over 6 years as follows. Estimated costs are $1,100,000 in Year 0, and $50,000
each year in Years 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6. Estimated benefits are $0 in Year 0, and $450,000 each year
in Years 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6. Use a 15% discount rate. Suppose the required payback period and
discounted payback period are both 3 years.
(1) Calculate the payback period (based on the original cash flows without discounting), and
evaluate the project based on the payback method.
(2) Calculate the discounted payback period (based on discounted cash flows), and evaluate the
project based on the discounted payback method.
(3) Evaluate the project using the NPV method, and explain whether you would recommend
investing in this project.
