Consider the project with the following expected cash flows:
     Year                Cash flow
       0              -$400,000
       1                    $100,000
       2                    $120,000
       3                    $850,000

•If the discount rate is 0%, what is the project's net present value?
•If the discount rate is 2%, what is the project's net present value?
•If the discount rate is 6%, what is the project's net present value?
•If the discount rate is 11%, what is the project's net present value?
•With a cost of capital of 5%, what is this project's modified internal rate of return?

Now draw (for yourself) a chart where the discount rate is on the horizontal axis (the "x" axis) and the net present value on the vertical axis (the Y axis). Plot the net present value of the project as a function of the discount rate by dots for the four discount rates. connect the four points using a free hand 'smooth' curve. The curve intersects the horizontal line at a particular discount rate. What is this discount rate at which the graph intersects the horizontal axis?

Hey, thanks for your question. I have provided some examples for you to follow. I hope they are enough to solve your problem:

[Attachment]

Initial outlay = $200,000
If r = 0%, NPV = $200,000 + 50,000 + 50,000 - 200,000 = $100,000
If r = 5%, NPV = +$65,730
IRR = 18%
MIRR @ 5% = 15.43%
 PV of outflows = $200,000
FV of inflows = $50,000 (1 + 0.05)2 + $50,000 (1 + 0.05) + $200,000 = $307,625

FV = PV (1 + r)n
$307,625 = $200,000 (1 + MIRR)3



2. Initial outlay is $50,000.
This project will have two values that cause the NPV to be equal to zero: 0% and approximately 41.5%. Neither is meaningful for decision-making: For discount rates below 0%, the net present value is negative; for discount rates above 0% but below 41 .5%, the net present value is positive; for discount rates above 41.5%, the net present value is negative.
NPV = $1,938.24 = -$50,000 + $47,619 + $90,703 - $86,384



3. 0.96 = $x/$1,000,000
NPV = $960,000 - $1,000,000 = -$40,000

Year       Cash flow
       0                - $800,000
       1                    90,000
       2                    190,000
       3                 +$900,000
 
If the discount rate is 0%, what is the project's net present value?
If the discount rate is 6%, what is the project's net present value?
What is this project's internal rate of return?

If the discount rate is 0%, what is the project's net present value?

A discount rate of 0% means that future cash flows are worth the same
as present cash flows. Thus, we take the sum of the revenues in years
1 through 3 and subtract the initial investment that took place in year 0.

  ($90,000 + $190,000 + $900,000) - $800,000

    =  $1,180,000 - $800,000

    =    $380,000

The NPV is therefore $380,000.


If the discount rate is 6%, what is the project's net present value?

In this case, the present value of a cash flow C in year N is

  C / (1.06^N)
 
where the divisor is 1.06 to the power of N. We begin by calculating
the present value of the revenue in each of the years 1 through 3.

  Year  revenue     divisor           present value
 
  1      $90,000    1.06^1 = 1.06      $90,000 / 1.0600 =  $84,905.66
 
  2     $190,000    1.06^2 = 1.1236   $190,000 / 1.1236 = $169,099.32
 
  3     $900,000    1.06^3 = 1.1910   $900,000 / 1.1910 = $755,667.51
 
Now we take the sum of the present values and subtract the initial
investment.

  ($84,905.66 + $169,099.32 + $755,667.51) - $800,000
 
    =  $1,009,672.49 - $800,000
   
    =    $209,672.49
   
So the NPV is $209,672.49.
