You are considering opening a new plant. The plant will cost $98.5 million up front and will take one year to build. After that it is expected to produce profits of $31.7 million at the end of every year of production (starting two years from now). The cash flows are expected to last forever. Calculate the NPV of this investment opportunity if your cost of capital is 8.2%. Should you make the investment? Calculate the IRR and use it to determine the maximum deviation allowable in the cost of capital estimate to leave the decision unchanged. The NPV of the project will be $258.8 million. (Round to one decimal place.) You should make the investment. (Select from the drop-down menu.) The IRR is ? % (Round to two decimal places.)

Step 1
The NPV is calculated as the present value of the project's cash inflows minus the present value of the project's cash outflows. In this case, the cash outflow is the initial investment of $98.5 million and the cash inflows are the annual profits of $31.7 million, Show more…
