a. Calculate the project's NPV at each of the following discount rates: 0%, 5%, 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%. b. What do the calculations tell you about this project's IRR? The IRR rule tells managers to invest if a project's IRR is greater than the cost of capital. If Acme Oscillators' cost of capital is 8%, should the company accept or reject this investment? c. Notice that this project's greatest NPVS come at very high discount rates. Can you provide an intuitive explanation for that pattern?

Buena Vision Clinic is considering an investment that requires an outlay of 600,000 and promises a net cash inflow one year from now of 810,000. Assume the cost of capital is 10 percent. Required: 1. Break the 810,000 future cash inflow into three components: a. The return of the original investment b. The cost of capital c. The profit earned on the investment 2. Now, compute the present value of the profit earned on the investment. 3. Compute the NPV of the investment. Compare this with the present value of the profit computed in Requirement 2.
