Question

Palmer Soaps is considering a project to expand its line of hand soaps for mechanics and hard laborers. The project has an initial investment of $187,000. Annual cash flows are expected to be $52,000 for five years. Based on the internal rate of return (IRR) of the project, should the company accept the project if their required rate of return is 11%?

Answer 1

The project should be accepted.

Step-by-step explanation:

Giving the following information:

The project has an initial investment of $187,000. Annual cash flows are expected to be $52,000 for five years.

IRR= 11%

NPV= -Io + ∑[Cf/(1+i)^n]

Cf= cash flow

For example:

Year 3= 52,000/1.11^3= 38,021.95

NPV= 5,186.65

The project should be accepted.
