= 170000 / 170000 + 170000 * 7 % + 170000 / 170000 + 170000 * 6 %= 3.50 + 3= 6.50 %c) Calculate the Net Present Value (NPV) of the project, using the WACC computed above.NPV is calculated by taking risk premium rate as well. Therefore, Cost of capital = 6.5 %+ 1.5 % = 8 % which is the discount factor to be used for calculating NPV of the investmentproposal.
