has caused through illegal dumping. Failure to operate sustainably can harm the
community and environment, affecting public perception and customer loyalty.
b) Calculate IRR using interpolation between 15% and 18% (9 marks)
1. Present Value at 15%:
PV=R2,000,000(1.15) ^1+R3,000,000(1.15) ^2+R3,500,000(1.15) ^3
PV=(1.15)1R2,000,000+(1.15)2R3,000,000+(1.15)3R3,500,000
Present values at 15%:
PV(15%)=R1,739,130.43+R2,268,041.24+R2,308,880.31=R6,316,051.98PV(15\
%) = R1,739,130.43 + R2,268,041.24 + R2,308,880.31 = R6,316,051.98
PV(15%)=R1,739,130.43+R2,268,041.24+R2,308,880.31=R6,316,051.98
NPV(15%) = R6,316,051.98 - R6,000,000 = R316,051.98
2. Present Value at 18%:
PV=(1.18)1R2,000,000+(1.18)2R3,000,000+(1.18)3R3,500,000
