What is the NPV of the offer if the appropriate discount rate is 12 percent? (Negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places. (e.g., 32.16)) |

d-2. |
What is the NPV of the offer if the appropriate discount rate is 22 percent? (Negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places. (e.g., 32.16)) |
Please note I am trying to do these in Excel using the NPV
Formula NPV=(rate,cash flows)+ initial investment.
I have tried to calculate using -9500 and +9500 and the homework application tells me it’s wrong.
