Jose is considering investing $100 in a project that has cash flows of $10 in one year, $0 in two years and $110 in three years. Jose's opportunity cost of capital is 10% and when running an NPV analysis on these cash flows, the NPV turns out to be zero! Based on this, the IRR is: a) 10% b) Infinity c) 0%

You can make an investment that will immediately cost $52,000. If you make the investment, your after-tax operating profit will be $13,000 per year for five years. After the five years, the profit will be zero, and the scrap value also will be zero. You will finance the investment with internally generated funds and receive the profit at the end of each year. The net present value equation for this investment is: NPV=$| (Carefully enter your answer as an algebraic expression, using the proper notation in the proper format. Do not use the letter x to denote the multiplication sign.)

You are considering an investment with the following cash flows. Your required return is 8%, you require a payback of 3 years and a discounted payback of 4 years. If your objective is to maximize your wealth, should you take this investment? Year. Cash Flow -50,000 20,000 20,000 3 20,000 4 20,000 -50,000 Select one: O a. No, because the project cash flows are not conventional. O b. Yes, because both the payback and the discounted payback are less than 2 years. O c. No, because the NPV is negative. O d. Yes, because the payback is 2.5 years. O e. Yes, because the discounted payback is less than 4 years.
