This requires you to analyze a potential project using financial tools and present your findings to the executive leadership team in a one-page Executive Summary. You will need to assess the project's viability and make a final recommendation on whether the company should pursue it.

Your company is considering a new project with an initial investment of $300,000. The project is expected to generate cash flows over a seven-year period, as detailed in the project information below. Project details:

The executive leadership team has provided two questions they would like you to address in your Executive Summary: 1. Assuming we discount inflation, what is the Internal Rate of Return (IRR) of this project over a seven-year span? 2. Given the calculated IRR, and assuming we can earn 7% by investing in alternative securities, would you recommend that we pursue the project? Why or why not?

Step One: Utilize the financial tools and concepts covered in Module 4 to analyze the project's cash flows. Step Two: Calculate the project's IRR using a financial calculator or spreadsheet software. Step Three: Develop a one-page Executive Summary that clearly addresses the leadership team's questions. * Briefly explain the concept of IRR and its significance in project evaluation. * Include your calculated IRR for the project. * Based on the IRR and the alternative investment opportunity (7% return), provide a recommendation on whether to pursue the project and justify your reasoning. * Use clear and concise language suitable for a business audience.
