FIN 440 – ASSIGNMENT 2 TOTAL POINTS – 10 MzF

The purpose of this assignment is to test your knowledge of


Microsoft Excel. We have spent a reasonable amount of
time learning the basics – and now I believe that you are
ready to begin the process of intuitive learning. Your
assignment will be scored based on three criterion – 1.
CONCEPT (your understanding of the problem) 2.
CONTENT (how you will solve the problem) 3. DESIGN
(how to layout your solutions)….good luck!
1. You are offered an asset costing $600 that has cash flows of $100 at the end of each of
the next 10 years.
a. If the appropriate discount rate for the asset is 8%, should you purchase it?
b. What is the IRR of the asset?

2. You just took a $10,000, 5-year loan. Payments at the end of each year are flat (equal in
every year) at an interest rate of 15%. Calculate the appropriate loan table, showing the
breakdown in each year between principal and interest.
3. You are offered an investment with the following conditions:
• The cost of the investment is 1,000.
• The investment pays out a sum X at the end of the first year; this payout grows at the
rate of 10% per year for 11 years.
If your discount rate is 15%, calculate the smallest X which would entice you to purchase
the asset. For example, as you can see in the following display, X = $100 is too small—the
NPV is negative:

A B C
1 Discount rate 15%
2 Initial payment 129.2852
3 NPV -226.52 <-- =B6+NPV(B1,B7:B17)
4
5 Year Cash
6 0 flow
-1,000.00
7 1 100.00 <-- 100
8 2 110.00 <-- =B7*1.1
9 3 121.00 <-- =B8*1.1
10 4 133.10
11 5 146.41
12 6 161.05
13 7 177.16
14 8 194.87
15 9 214.36
16 10 235.79
17 11 259.37
4. The following cash-flow pattern has two IRRs. Use Excel to draw a graph of the NPV of
these cash flows as a function of the discount rate. Then use the IRR function to identify
the two IRRs. Would you invest in this project if the opportunity cost were 20%?

A B
4 Year Cash flow
5 0 -500
6 1 600
7 2 300
8 3 300
9 4 200
10 5 -1,000
