Using the present value tables in Exhibits 26-3 and 26-4, Assume that the required rate of return for investment projects at Rippenstock Corporation is 12 percent. One department has proposed investment in new equipment with a 10-year life span and a present value of expected future annual cash flows of $120,000. The equipment's initial outlay cost is $125,000 and it has a salvage value of $10,000. Will this investment project meet the required rate of return for the company? (Round your "PV factors" to 3 decimal places.)

    Explanation:

    the required rate of return = 12%

    if the present value of the project's cash flows after being discounted at the required rate of return = $120,000, then the net present value (NPV) of the project is negative. Future cash flows are discounted at the company's required rate of return, if they were discounted at a lower rate, their present value would be higher.

    Any project with a negative NPV should be rejected because it doesn't provide enough cash flows.
