Your company is considering purchasing a machine for $270,000. This machine will bring revenues of $100,000 in the second year,

of $150,000 in the third year, and of $75,000 in the fourth year. The machine will be worthless after the fourth year, so you will not be able to get any resale value out of it. If the interest rate is 6% per year, should you go ahead with this project?

Answer:

Yes we should go with this project because it has a positive NPV of $4,350

Explanation:

We need to calculate the net present value of the machine to decide whether to invest in the machine or not.

As per Given Data

Costs $270,000

Cash Inflows

Year 2      $100,000

Year 3      $150,000

Year 4      $75,000

Interest Rate = 6%

Net Present Value

As we know Net Present value is calculated by discounting each years cash flows using using the Weighted Average cost of Capital.

Year       Cash Inflows    Discount factor 13%  Present values

Year 0      $(270,000)     (1+6%)^-0                 $(270,000)

Year 2      $100,000        (1+6%)^-2                 $89,000

Year 3      $150,000        (1+6%)^-3                 $125,943

Year 4      $75,000          (1+6%)^-4                 <u>$59,407  </u>

Net present value                                            <u>$4,350   </u>

The ordinal scale incorporates qualitative information; 'ordinal' that means 'order'. It places variables in order/rank, only allowing to measure the value as better or lower in scale.

An investment has an expected return of 11 percent per year with a standard deviation of 26 percent. Assuming that the returns o
Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

P(X

And we can find this probability using the normal standard distribution table or excel and we got:

P(Z

Explanation:

Previous concepts

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".  

Solution to the problem

Let X the random variable that represent the expected return, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

X \sim N(11,26)  

Where \mu=11 and \sigma=26

We are interested on this probability

P(X

And the best way to solve this problem is using the normal standard distribution and the z score given by:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

If we apply this formula to our probability we got this:

P(X

And we can find this probability using the normal standard distribution table or excel and we got:

P(Z
