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

and indicate whether each is acceptable. Initial investment: Pr. A -20,000, Pr. B -600,000, Pr. C -150,000, Pr. D -760,000, Pr. E -100,000 Cash inflows: Project A Years 1-10 3,000 each yr. Project B 120,000, 145,000, 170,000, 190,000, 220,000, 240,000 Project C 18,000, 17,000 ,16,000 , 15,000, 14,000, 13,000, 12,000, 11,000, 10,000.

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

I hope my answer helps you

Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

(A) A perpetuity is a stream of regularly timed, equal cash flows that continues forever

(B) The value of a perpetuity is equal to the sum of the present value of its expected future cash flows

the bank offers 1.6%

in the alternative scenario it offers 1.067%

Explanation:

(A) A perpetuity is a stream of regularly timed, equal cash flows that continues forever

The perpetuity is an annuity in which time tends to infinity, to be qualified as an annuity the cash payment must be regular.

(B) The value of a perpetuity is equal to the sum of the present value of its expected future cash flows

As state above the perpetuinty is an annuity, the annuities return the present value of the expcted future cash flow.

Given the annuity formula

C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\

if times tends to infinity then the expression:

\lim_{n \to \infty} (1+r)^{-n} = 1

Nexti n the annuity formula we got:

C \times \frac{1-1 }{rate}= PV\\

So we end up with C / rate = PV

which s the perpetuity formula

800/50000 = 0.016       = 1.6%

800/75000 = 0.0106667 = 1.067%
