Question

You've graduated from college and are now working in an investment firm where you advise clients on investment decisions. Here is the information on the proposed project.
Up-front cost: $100,000
Next year's revenue: $15,000
Real interest rate: 7%
Depreciation rate: 3%
What is the present value of the stream of payments from this project?
A. $500,000
B. $85,000
C. $115,000
D. $150,000

Answer 1

Answer:

B. $85,000

Explanation:

The client should not invest in the project as the income stream is low and the NPV of the project will be negative. The client should not invest in a project whose net present value is negative which means its total cost is greater than the total revenue that will be generated from the project.
