Answer #1

We will be using a constant growth model for the cash flows for and beyond year 2 and as we will get the PV of the cash flows till year 1 we will further discount it by 1.16 to get the PV at year 0. the following is the Constant growth model-

PV at year 1 = [Cash flow in year 1 (1+ growth rate) ]/ ( Required return - Growth rate)

PV at year 0 = [Cash flow in year 1 (1+ growth rate) ]/ ( Required return - Growth rate) *( 1+ required rate)

NPV is the sum of the present value of all the cash flows.

$10,000 = -$6,000 + ($2,000/1.16) + [$2000*( 1+ X%) / (1.16*(16%-X%))

Solving the above equation for x

We get X = 0.035 or 3.5%
