NPV vs. IRR
Discount rate 0%, NPV =$670,000
Discount rate 2%, NPV=$614,400
Discount rate 6%, NPV=$514,820
Discount rate 11% NPV= $409,000
Capital Cost 5%, Modified IRR= 45.6%
Upon plotting these points on a chart an obvious relationship is modeled. The lower the discount rate the higher the NPV appears to manifest. The curve crosses the x axis at a discount rate of .03%.
Rate at 1%, NPV=$65,358
Rate at 4%, NPV= $7,593
Rate at 10%, NPV= -$91,776
Rate at 18%, NPV= -$197,871
Discount rate at X axis = 2.8%
NPV=3,864,000
