emma51 Anyone knows how to use the BAII Plus for this question?
Nitishm I calculated the NPV as normal on the BAII Plus. I used 0 for CF0 and I= 12. This gave me 35,874.
rjdelong you could also just add up the cash flows as they are:
24+12.7+15-10=41.7 since that is answer B its got to be less than that if they need a 12% return...
rjdelong CF 2nd CLRWORK Downarrow C01=24,000 ENTER Downarrow F01=1 Downarrow C02=12,700 ENTER ... C04=10,000 +|- Enter 2nd Quit NPV I=12 Enter Downarrow CPT
lighty0770 there is no initial cash outlay therefore C0=0
