NPV (117,645)
a. When the required rate of return is 15%, the NPV is negative. So, the project will not be acceptable.
b.IRR The cash flows relevant for computing IRR are: (700,000) (1,000,000) 250,000 300,000 350,000 400,000 400,000 400,000 400,000 400,000 400,000
So, IRR 13.20%
c. When the discount rate is 10%, the NPV is positive and the project is acceptable. See the computation below.
IRR when discount rate is 10%: IRR is independant of discount rate. It depends on cashflows and will not change from 13.20% as computed in b.
