Solution: payback period = 1 + (15,000 - 8,000)/9,000
= 1.8 years. 11. What is the net present value of the project at the firm's cost of capital?
A. about $15,000.
* B. about $13,400.
C. about $11,500
D. about $10,400
E. $12,000.
Solution: NPV = $8,000/(1.12) + $9,000/(1.12)2 + $10,000/(1.12)3 + $10,000/(1.12)4 - $15,000 = $13,433. 12. What is the risk-adjusted net present value of the project?
* A. about $9,000
B. about $8,500
C. about $7,900
D. about $7,400
E. $8,000.
Solution: NPV = $8,000/(1.20) + $9,000/(1.20)2 + $10,000/(1.20)3 + $10,000/(1.20)4 - $15,000 = $9,002. 13.
