9-3 Jojo is reviewing a project with an initial cash outflow of RM250,000. An additional RM100,000 will have to be invested after the first year, followed by an additional investment of RM50,000 at the end of the second year. Beginning at the end of year three, the project is expected to generate cash flows of RM90,000 per year for the next eight years. Calculate the project’s payback period, net present value (NPV), and internal rate of return (IRR) at a cost of capital of 8 percent.
