What are the IRRs of this opportunity? (Hint: Build an Excel model which tests the NPV at 1% intervals from 1% to? 40%. Then zero in on the rates at which the NPV changes signs.) b. If your cost of capital is 10%, is the opportunity attractive. Suppose you are able to renegotiate the terms of the contract so that your final payment in year 44 will be $ 1.0 million. c. What is the IRR of the opportunity now? d. Is it attractive at the new terms?
