Answer:
A. NPV for A= $61,658.06
NPV for B = $25,006.15
B. 1.36
1.17
Project A
Explanation:
Net present value is the present value of after tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.
NPV can be calcuated using a financial calculator
for project A :
Cash flow in
Year 0 = $(172,325)
Year 1 41,000
Year 2 47,000
Year 3 85,295
Year 4 86,400
Year 5 56,000
I = 10%
NPV = $61,658.06
for project B
year 0 = $ (145,960)
Cash flow in
Year 1 27,000
Year 2 52,000
Year 3 50,000
Year 4 71,000
Year 5 28,000
I = 10%
NPV = $25,006.15
profitability index = 1 + NPV / Initial investment
for project A, PI = $61,658.06 / 172,325 = 1.36
For project B, PI = $25,006.15 / 145,960 = 1.17
The project with the greater NPV and PI should be chosen. this is project A.
To find the NPV using a financial calculator:
1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
2. after inputting all the cash flows, press the NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
3. Press compute

I recommend Bizcom to install <u>an extranet, to enable quick collaboration over the Internet, minimize the time spent communicating with the client, and minimize the amount of paperwork needed</u>.
<u>Explanation</u>:
Extranet is a kind of private network that helps organizations to exchange the information securely over Internet. The extranet can be used by vendors, suppliers and authorized set of customers to enable communication.
Internet helps in enabling quick collaboration and also reduces the paperwork. As all the information can be confidentially shared and stored using the Internet, the use of paper can be reduced. The time spent for communicating with the client can also be reduced.
In the above scenario, Bizcom has its consultants from various places. It is difficult to travel to every place and organize meeting. So installing an extranet can help them in keeping connected.
