For this project an additional investment in working capital of $12,000 is required and it will be recovered in full at the end of the project’s life. The project will generate additional revenues of $64,000 in year 1 and these revenues will grow annually at a rate of 10%. The additional expenses of the project will be $15,000 in year 1 and will grow annually at 8%. What is the NPV and the IRR of the Project? Would you accept or reject this problem?
