Question: You are considering a project that has been assigned a discount rate of 9 percent. If you start the project today ( t = 0

You are considering a project that has been assigned a discount rate of 9 percent. If you start the project today (t=0), you will incur an initial cost of $1,200 and will receive cash inflows of $510 a year for three years (starting from year 1). If you wait one year to start the project, the initial cost will rise to $1,220(at t=1) and the cash flows will increase to $580 a year for three years (starting from year t=2). Should you wait one year to start the project? (Hint: calculate and compare the NPV of the project if it is started today vs. started one year from today. Do not forget the time value of money)
No, because NPV is lower by $92.50
No, because NPV is lower by $114.30
Yes, because NPV is higher by $122.80
