Answer:
NPV is positive,the project should be accepted
Explanation:
In determining whether or not the project should be accepted ,we need to ascertain the Net Present value of the project which is present value of cash inflows of $13,000 for 35 years minus the initial investment of $125,374.60 committed today.
The annuity factor for 8% for 35 year horizon is 11.6546 using annuity table.
Present of cash inflow=cash inflow*annuity factor=$13,000*11.6546=$151,509.80
Net present value=$ 151,509.80-$125,374.60=$ 26,135.20
The investment has a positive NPV,hence should be accepted
Answer:
Internal Rate of Return (IRR) 9,00%
Explanation:
We use excel or a spreadsheet to calculate this ratio. See document attached.
We use a cash flow to solve this problem.
At moment 0 we have the investment cost , in this case $365,695. From period 1 to period 9, we have incomes o benefits of $61,000. Then, we calculate the Net cash flow that is the difference between benefits and cost.
We use all the result (positive and negative) in Net cash flow to get the IRR.
