Answer:

NPV = -$149,319.44

Explanation:

Ten cars will be needed, which can be purchased at a discounted price of $18,000 each. If this alternative is accepted, the following costs will be incurred on the fleet as a whole:

  • Annual cost of servicing, taxes and licensing    $5,100
  • Repairs, first year                                                $3,000
  • Repairs, second year                                        $5,500
  • Repairs, third year                                                $7,500

the required rate of return or discount rate for Riteway is 20%.

Cash flows:

CF₀ = -$180,000

CF₁ = -($5,100 +$3,000) = -$8,100

CF₂ = -($5,100 + $5,500) = -$10,600

CF₃ = ($9,000 X 10) - ($5,100 + $7,500) = $90,000 - $12,600 = $77,400

using an excel spreadsheet, we can calculate the NPV with r = 20%

NPV = -$180,000 + $30,680.56 = -$149,319.44

valkas [14]

Answer:

Expected value of X = -11.09

Explanation:

Expected profit:

= Probability of winning × Amount she wins

= 0.03 × $180  

= 5.4

Expected loss:

= Probability of loosing × Amount she paid

= 0.97 × $17

= 16.49

Let X be amount of money Mary wins or loses.

E(X) = Expected profit - Expected loss

= 5.4 - 16.49

= -11.09

Expected value of X = -11.09

That is expected value of loss of $11.09

lbvjy [14]

Answer:

The Project should be rejected.

The Net present value is lower than zero. Meaning the returns on the investment yields a loss, as we are not able to cover our initial investments.

Explanation:

The Present value of the inflow and outflow should be considered before deciding the viability of the project.

Using the Net Present Value approach, we will want to consider against the outflows and at a certain cost of capital/rate of return if this projects meets at least the minimum threshold of breaking even. At this point the net cash flow would be at least zero for the project to be accepted.

Kindly review the document attached for detailed workings.
