- a. Why is it difficult to calculate the payback period for this project?
- b. Calculate the investment’s
net present value at each of the following discount rates: 0%, 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 30%, 35%. - c. What does your answer to part b tell you about this project’s
IRR ? - d. Should Froogle invest in this project if its cost of capital is 5%? What if the cost of capital is 15%?
- e. In general, when faced with a project like this one, how should a firm decide whether to invest in the project or reject it?

Example 10.11: Multiple Internal Rates of Return
Strip Mine, Inc., is considering a project with cash flows described in the following table
Cash Flows (in $millions) at Date

-1
Compute the IRR of this project.
2) D&D is analyzing a project with the provided cash flow information. Can you
calculate the project's internal rate of return (IRR)? Keep in mind that the IRR of a
project can be lower than the weighted average cost of capital (WACC) or even
negative, in which case the project should be rejected.

Table 8-5 Cumulative (Single Tail) Probabilities of the Normal Probability Distribution (Areas
under the Normal Curve from – o to Z)
Example: the area to the left of Z = 1.34 is found by following the left Z column
down to 1.3 and moving right to the .04 column. At the intersection read 9099. The
area to the right of Z- 1.34 is - 9099 - 0901. The area between the mean (center
ZX line) and Z- 1.34 is 9099-5- 4099.
