Answer:

7.3

Explanation:

37.30 × 20,000 = $746,000

31.30× 25000 =$782,500

$746,000-$782,500 = $36,500

36,500/ 5,000 = 7.3

Note:

25,000-20 000= 5,000

Using a 14% cost of capital, calculate the net present value for each of the independent projects shown in the following table,
jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

For project A ,

NPV = $-4,351.65

The project A isn't acceptable because the NPV is negative

For project B ,

NPV = $67,678.24

The project is acceptable because the NPV is postive

For project C,

NPV = $-76,528.17

The project C isnt acceptable because the NPV is negative

For project D,

NPV = $98,189.82

Project D is acceptable because the NPV is postive.

For project E ,

NPV = $8,548.44

Project E is acceptable because the NPV is postive.

Explanation:

Net present value is the present value of after tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.

Net present value can be calculated using a financial calculator

For project A,

Cash flow in year 0 =  -20,000

Cash flow each year from year 1-10 = 3,000

I = 14%

NPV = $-4,351.65

The project A shouldn't be embarked on because the NPV is negative

For Project B,

Cash flow in year 0 = $ -600,000

Cash flow in year 1 = 120,000

Cash flow in year 2 = 145,000

Cash flow in year 3 = 170,000

Cash flow in year 4 = 190,000

Cash flow in year 5 =220,000

Cash flow in year 6= 240,000 

I = 14%

NPV = $67,678.24

The project should be embarked on because the NPV is postive.

For Pr. C ,

Cash flow in year 0 = -150,000, 

Cash flow in year 1 = 18,000

Cash flow in year 2 = 17,000

Cash flow in year 3 = 16,000

Cash flow in year 4 = 15,000

Cash flow in year 5 = 14,000,

Cash flow in year 6 = 13,000

Cash flow in year 7 = 12,000

Cash flow in year 8 = 11,000

Cash flow in year 9= 10,000

I = 14%

NPV = $-76,528.17

The project C shouldn't be embarked on because the NPV is negative

For Pr. D,

Cash flow in year 0 = -760,000

Cash flow each year from year 1 to 8 = 185,000 

I = 14%

NPV = $98,189.82

Project D should be embarked on because the NPV is postive.

For Pr. E,

Cash flow in year 0 = -100,000

Cash flow each year for year 1 to 3 = 0 cash flow in year 4 = 25,000

Cash flow in year 5 = 36,000

Cssh flpw in year 6 = 0

Cash flow in year 7 = 60,000

Cash flow in year 8 = 72,000

Cash flow in year 9 = 84,000.

I = 14%

NPV = $8,548.44

Project E is profitable and can be undertaken.

To find the NPV using a financial calacutor:

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
