From Part A above, assume that the bank decided to give a loan of $ 59 million to Zenith Corporation (recorded for initial year). Zenith-Corporation invested the amount in a project and generated the following sequence of cash flows over six years: Year Cash Flow ($ million) 0 -59 1 4 2 5 3 6 4 7.33 5 8 6 8.25 Calculate the Net Present Value (NPV) and the Profitability Index (PI) over the six years. Assume discount rate 13% This project does not end after the sixth year but instead will generate cash flows far into the future.
