time zero. The after-tax cash flow benefits from the project are estimated to be $1.5 million per
year in years 1-5. The project has a minimum required return of 12.0%. a.) Calculate the
project's NPV and IRR and indicate whether or not the project is an acceptable investment. b.)

stalled out due to pessimism about its ability to earn an economic profit and generate a
sufficiently high return on investment. The CFO mentions that the project creates a significant
