Question

A firm is considering a project with annual cash flows of $300,000. The project would have a five-year life, and the company uses a discount rate of 12%. What is the amount at which the firm would be indifferent between accepting or rejecting the investment

Answer 1

$1,081,434

Step-by-step explanation:

At indifference point, the present value of cash outflow equals present value of cash inflow.

Present value of cash inflow = Annual cash inflow * PV annuity factor (12%, 5 years)

Present value of cash inflow = $300,000*3.60478

Present value of cash inflow = $1,081,434

So, the amount at which the firm would be indifferent between accepting or rejecting the investment is $1,081,434.
