a. An investment returns the following cash flows:
In t=1: $321,000
In t=2: $228,980
In t=3: $1,225,043
What is the net present value in t=0 if the interest rate is 7%?
b. Peter has two possible investments to choose from. Project 1 returns $120,000 in t=10. Project 2 returns $80,000 in t=4. Assume for now that capital markets are perfect.
i. At what interest rates does the second investment have a higher net present value?
ii. Assume the interest rate is r=6%. Which investment does Peter prefer?
iii. Peter wants to retire in t=7. Does that change your answer to ii.? Explain your answer and give the name of the theorem you invoke here.
