An entertainment firm is considering a new concert venue with these cash flows: an outlay of $19.8 at t= 0 and then these anticipated/expected cash flows at t= 1 through t = 6, respectively: $6.0, $6.4, $3.4, $5.0, $4.6, and $4.2. Using a required return of 10.00%, calculate this project's net present value (NPV), payback period, and internal rate of return (IRR) Also answer a couple of questions about whether to accept or reject this project (i.e., whether to go forward with the concert venue or not). 1. The NPV is $ [Round your answer to two decimals.] ii. Based on the NPV decision rule, should the firm accept or reject this project? Enter your one-word text answer here: ii. Calculate the payback period for this project, rounding your answer to the nearest decimal. Payback period is years. iv. If the payback period cut-off is, say, 3.0 years and based on the payback-period decision rule, should the firm accept or reject this project? Enter your one-word text answer here: v. Lastly, for completeness, calculate this project's IRR Note that IRR exceeds the required return; using the IRR rule, elle firm should accept the project. Note that, in this problem, to naively follow the payback-period decision rule would be harmful to the value of the firm. The firm would be wrongly rejecting an otherwise firm-value-enhancing project. The project has a positive net present value and its expected return (more commonly called internal rate of return) is higher than the return that the firm requires on the project (more commonly called required return).
