| Net Present Value: | $ 38,468.55 | | | | | | Calculated = Sum of all Present values year 0-5 |
| Internal Rate of Return (IRR): | 14.21% | Measures the discount rate that makes the Net Present Value =0. IRR is used to estimate the profitability of potential investments as it assumes the cash flows from a project are reinvested at the IRR. |
| Modified Internal Rate of Return (MIRR): | 12.96% | MIRR assumes that positive cash flows are reinvested at the firm's cost of capital. It is considered that the MIRR more accurately reflects the cost and profitability of a project. |
| The IRR and MIRR measure profitability of the project. We use the 11% cost of capital that is provided. As long as the IRR and MIRR are higher, Jiranna would consider moving forward with the project as it would be profitable. |

| Present values of net cash flow (same as column 8) | $ (420,800.00) | $ 82,882.88 | $ 87,545.65 | $ 92,710.68 | $ 96,500.14 | $ 99,629.20 |

| Payback Period (# years): | 3.64 | | | Calculated = full years recovery (3) + (Absolute value of cumulative cash at the end of year 3 =94141)/(cash flow in following year= 146494) | | | The payback period calculates the time required for the initial capital invested in a project to be repaid by the net cash flow that has been generated. It is a metric used to evaluate the risk associated with a project. A shorter payback period is considered to be better as it shows the project is less risky. |
| Discounted Payback Period (# years): | 4.61 | | | Formula using Discounted cash flow below = full years recovery (3) + (Absolute value of cumulative cash at the end of year 3 =94141)/(cash flow in following year 146494) | | | Also used to evaluate the rish associated with a project but it uses the net present value of future cash flows. Due to the time value of money, the discounted payback period can be a more accurate predictor of rish than the regular payback period as it takes into account discounted cash flows. |
| The payback period for the centralized call center is 3.64 years and the discounted payback period is 4.21 years, which is even longer. Jiranna Healthcare has a corporate policy that it is only willing to take on a project that takes no more than 3.5 years to pay for itself. Therefore, this project would be too risky for Jiranna to move forward with. |
