You are given risky cash flow data for a three-year project:
Year Cash flow
1 $2,000
2 3,000
3 4,000
The initial cash outflow is $6,000; the risk-free interest rate is 6%, and the risk-adjusted discount rate is 10%.
Calculate the NPV by both the risk-adjusted discount rate method and the certainty equivalent method in such a way that the NPV will be the same using either method.
