1. A new furnace for your small factory will cost $27,000 to install and will require ongoing maintenance expenditures of $1,500

a year.2. However, since it will be much more efficient than the furnace you have now, it will reduce your consumption of heating oil by 2,400 gallons per year.3. Heating oil is expected to cost on average $3.50 per gallon in the upcoming year, and that price is expected to increase by $0.50 each year for the two years that follow.From that point onwards, oil prices are expected to stabilize for the foreseeable future.4. The furnace will last for 20 years, at which point it will need to be replaced and will have no salvage value.The discount rate is 8%.a) What is the payback period of the investment?b) What is the discounted payback period of the investment?c) What is the NPV of the investment in the furnace?

Answer:

payback 3.29 years

NPV 87,158.55

Explanation:

PO 27,000

<u>Cash flow saving Y1 </u>

2400 x 3.5 = 8,400

expenditures (1,500)

net savings   6,900

<u>Cash flow saving Y2 </u>

The price will increase 0.5

6,900 + 2,400 x 0.5 = 8,100

<u>Cash flow saving Y3 to Y20</u>

The price will increase 0.5

8,100 + 2,400 x 0.5 = 9,300

We have an annuity of 18 years for 9,300 cash

And then we have a cash flow of 6,900

and another of 8,100

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

C = 9,300

r = 8%

time = 18

9,300 \times \frac{1-(1+0.08)^{-18} }{0.08} = PV\\

PV =  87,158.55

Now this values are years into the future, so we need to bring them to present day.

\frac{Principal}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV

year 1 principal 6,900

6,900/1.08 = 6,388.89

year 2 principal 8,100

\frac{8,100}{(1 + 0.08)^{2} } = PV

PV= 5,915.64

year 3 annuity 87,158.55

\frac{87,158.55}{(1 + 0.08)^{3} } = PV

PV= 69,189.27

cash flow - investment = net present value

69,189.27 + 5,915.64 + 6,388.89 - 27,000 = 54,493.8

The payback will be the time perdion when the project recovers it initial cost:

we first add the income from the irregular years and subtract from the investment

6,900 + 8,100 = 15,000

27,000 - 15,000 = 12,000

then we use the general formula investment/cash flow per year

12,000/9,300 = 1.29

the project need the first two years and then 1.29 years

2 + 1.29 = 3.29 years

The common stock of the P.U.T.T. Corporation has been trading in a narrow price range for the past month, and you are convinced
mariarad [96]

Answer:

A) according to put call parity:

price of put option = call option - stock price + [future value / (1 + risk free rate)ⁿ]

put = $8.89 - $120 + [$120 / (1 + 8%)¹/⁴] = $8.89 - $120 +$117.71 = $6.60

B) you have to purchase both a put and call option ⇒ straddle

the total cost of the investment = $8.89 + $6.60 = $15.496, this way you can make a profit if the stock price increases higher than $120 + $6.60 = $126.60 or decreases below than $120 - $6.60 = $113.40

You are given an investment to analyze. the cash flows from this investment are end of year 1. $19,340 2. $2,280 3. $26,600 4. $
AleksandrR [38]
PW = FW×(1+i)^-n

PW = $19340×1.15^-1 + $2280×1.15^-2 + $26600×1.15^-3 + $24240×1.15^-4 + $8770×1.15^-5 = $54250.90

hence PW = $54250.90
