NPV. Please use the information below Green Tech's Renewable Energy Project Analysis: GreenTech is considering investing in a new renewable energy project. The project involves setting up a wind turbine farm, which requires an initial investment of $115 million. Financial analysts estimate that the benefits of the new project will be $20 million per year, starting at the end of the first year and lasting for eight years. After eight years, the benefits are expected to start declining by 2% per year indefinitely (Year 9 is the last year you the project yields $20 million). Assume the discount rate is 14%. Please calculate the following: 8. Payback Period, in years A) 8 I B) 3 C) 20 D) 10 E) 5 9. Do your NPV and IRR yield to the same conclusions? A) Yes, because IRR exceeds zero B) Yes, because IRR exceeds hurdle rate of 14% C) No, because NPV is too low D) No, because NPV is not equal to IRR NPV.
