Question 2: KUST is evaluating a new project for hangu campus. The financial manager has determined that the after-tax cash flows for the project will be $10,000; $12,000; $15,000; $10,000; and $7,000, respectively, for each of the Years 1 through 5. The initial cash outlay will be $40,000. The management of KUST has set a maximum PBP of 3.5 years and hurdle rate 13% for projects of this type. Should this project be accepted or rejected while using budgeting technique?
