Last Tuesday, Cold Goose Metal Works Inc. lost a portion of its planning and financial data when both its main and its backup servers crashed. The company's CFO remembers that the internal rate of return (IRR) of Project Delta is 14.6%, but he can't recall how much Cold Goose originally invested in the project nor the project's net present value (NPV). However, he found a note that detailed the annual net cash flows expected to be generated by Project Delta. They are: Year Year 1 Cash Flow $1,600,000 Year 2 $3,000,000 Year 3 $3,000,000 Year 4 $3,000,000 The CFO has asked you to compute Project Delta's initial investment using the information currently available to you. He has offered the following suggestions and observations: A project's IRR represents the return the project would generate when its NPV is zero or the discounted value of its cash inflows equals the discounted value of its cash outflows-when $7,746,571 are discounted using the project's IRR. The level of risk exhibited by Project Delta is the same Delta's net cash flows can be discounted using Cold Go ed by the company's average project, which means that Project $7,524,980 C. $7,413,064 $8,634,704 Given the data and hints, Project Delta's initial investment is $7,746,571 and its NPV is dollar).
