    Average rate of return, net present value, internal rate of return, & payback period
    CAM Company is evaluating a project requiring a capital expenditure of $619,200. The project has an estimated life of four years and no salvage value. The estimated net income and net cash flow from the project are as follows:





    Year Net Income Net Cash Flow



    1 $ 65,000 $ 240,000

    2 92,000 260,000

    3 100,000 160,000

    4 52,600 70,000

    Total $ 309,600 $ 730,000


    Please help!!



    The company’s minimum desired rate of return is 12%. The present value at compound interest of 12% for 1, 2, 3, and 4 years is .893, 797, 712, and .636 respectively.



    Determine:



    A.) Average Rate of Return (giving effect to depreciation on the investment)

    B.) Net Present Value

    C.) Internal Rate of Return

    D.) Payback Period

    Well I can start by giving you some formula which you can apply eventually to find your answers :

    IRR : L + [ __P____ X ( H - L )

    Sorry Send My Message Before Finishing My Reply :

    The Irr Converts The Npv Into A %. This Is Done Because People Are More Familiar With Rates Of Rates Of Interest So Understand More Clearly That Borrowing At 10% And Investing At 13 % Is Good For Example.

    Whereas Borring At 10% Getting A Npv Of $52,000 May Not Be So Obvious.

    The Irr Is The Point Where The Npv Is O.

    L : Is The Lower Rate Of Increase - Example 10%
    H : Is The Higher Rate Of Increase - Example 20%
    P : Is The Positive Npv : Example 52,261
    N: Is The Negative Npv : Example 119,846

    Formula Will Be : L + [ P/ P - N X ( H - L ]
    So 10% + [ 52,261/52,261 + 119,846 X ( 20% - 10%)
    You Have Your Irr.
    :)

    Just as a note, lindslu, this belongs in finance, not accounting. Or better yet, since it's homework, in the homework help section.
