A company is planning a four-year project, with an initial cost of $1.67 million. This investment cost is amortised to zero over

four years on a straight-line basis. However, the asset could be disposed of for $435,000 in four years. The project requires $198,000 in working capital initially and is fully recoverable after the project is completed. The project generates $1,850,000 in sales and $1,038,000 in costs each year. If the tax rate is 21% and the required return rate is 16.4%, what is NPV?

Answer:

The Net Present Value =  $451180.733

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

the initial cost of the project is $1670000

the initial increase in working capital is $198000

The total investment will be ; initial cost of the project + initial increase in working capital

The total investment = $1670000 + $198000

The total investment = $1868000

So, This investment cost is amortised to zero over four years; This implies that the project will depreciate in four years;

Now; lets determine the rate of the annual depreciation

The annual depreciation = \dfrac{Initial \ cost \  of \  project }{life \ of \ project}

The annual depreciation = \dfrac{1670000}{4}

The annual depreciation = $417500

Over to the annual operating cash flow; the annual operating cash flow can be calculated as follows:

annual operating cash flow = (sales - cost) × (1 - tax rate )+ (annual depreciation × tax rate )

Given that the tax rate = 21% = 0.21

annual operating cash flow = (1850000 -1038000)×(1-0.21)+(417500× 0.21)

annual operating cash flow = 812000 × 0.79 + 87675

annual operating cash flow = 641480 +  87675

annual operating cash flow = $729155

So; let's calculate the after tax salvage value for the project

We know that the sales values for the project in four years is $435,000 (i.e the disposal rate of the asset after four years)

Thus; the book value is zero

The after tax salvage value for the project can now be determined by the relation:

after tax salvage value = sale value - tax (sale value - book value)

after tax salvage value =  435000  - 0.21 (435,000 -0)

after tax salvage value = 435000 - 91350

after tax salvage value = $343650

Similarly; given that the recovering rate of the project is $198000;

The cash flow in year 4 will be: annual operating cash flow + after tax salvage + recovery working capital

cash flow in year 4 = $(729155 + 343650 + 198000)

cash flow in year 4 = $ 1270805

This implies that the cash flow from year one to three is : 729155

the cash flow in year four is : 1270805

Given that the Required return rate = 16.4% = 0.164

We can therefore determine the Present cash inflows by using the relation:

Present \ Value = \dfrac{c_1}{(1+r)^1}+ \dfrac{c_2}{(1+r)^2}+ \dfrac{c_3}{(1+r)^3}+ \dfrac{c_4}{(1+r)^4}

Present \ Value = \dfrac{729155}{(1+0.164)^1}+ \dfrac{729155}{(1+0.164)^2}+ \dfrac{729155}{(1+0.164)^3}+ \dfrac{1270805}{(1+0.164)^4}

Present \ Value = \dfrac{729155}{1.164^1}+ \dfrac{729155}{1.164^2}+ \dfrac{729155}{1.164^3}+ \dfrac{1270805}{1.164^4}

Present Value = $(626421.8213 + 538163.0767 + 462339.413+692256.4225)

Present Value = $2319180.733

Finally, The net present value = Present Value - Total Investment

Net Present Value = $(2319180.733 - 1868000)

Net Present Value =  $451180.733

Therefore; The Net Present Value =  $451180.733

Formula for amount for compound interest:
Amount, A =  P(1 + r/100)^n
Where r is rate, P is principal, and n is the number of years.
P = 2000, r = 5, n = t years.
A = 2000( 1 + 5/100)^t
A = 200(1+0.05)^t
A = 2000(1.05)^t
A(t) = 2000(1.05)^t

1. The midpoint of GH is (-2,3), and its endpoints are G (g,4) and H (-2,h). What are the values of g and h
alina1380 [7]

Answer:(g,h)=(-2,2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Midpoint is (-2,3)

Endpoints are G(g,4) and H(-2,h)

Mid point of any two point is given by

x=\frac{x_1+x_2}{2}

and y=\frac{y_1+y_2}{2}

So,-2=\frac{g+(-2)}{2}

-4=g-2

g=-2

Also

3=\frac{4+h}{2}

6=4+h

h=2

Therefore (g,h)=(-2,2)

PLEASE HELP! 20 POINTS 1) A ball is thrown starting at a time of 0 and a height of 2 meters. The height of the ball follows the
drek231 [11]

Answer:

1) The height of the ball from 0 to 5  seconds are;

At t = 0 second, height = 2

At t = 1 second, height h = 22.1

At t = 2 seconds, height h = 32.4

At t = 3 seconds, height h = 32.9

At t = 4 seconds, height h = 23.6

At t = 5 seconds, height h = 4.5

2)  The correct option is;

D. -16·t² + 25·t + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

1) The equation of motion of the ball is given as follows;

H(t) = -4.9·t² + 25·t + 2

The height of the ball from 0 to 5 seconds are;

H(0) = -4.9×(0)² + 25×(0) + 2 = 2

H(1) = -4.9×(1)² + 25×(1) + 2 = 22.1

H(2) = -4.9×(2)² + 25×(2) + 2 = 32.4

H(3) = -4.9×(3)² + 25×(3) + 2 = 32.9

H(4) = -4.9×(4)² + 25×(4) + 2 = 23.6

H(5) = -4.9×(5)² + 25×(5) + 2 = 4.5

Therefore, we have;

The height of the ball are

At t = 0 second, height = 2

At t = 1 second, height h = 22.1

At t = 2 seconds, height h = 32.4

At t = 3 seconds, height h = 32.9

At t = 4 seconds, height h = 23.6

At t = 5 seconds, height h = 4.5

2) Given that the equation of the ball is that of a projectile motion, such as follows;

h = h₀ + v₀·sin(θ₀)·t - 1/2·g·t² which is equivalent to h = -1/2·g·t²+ h₀+v₀·sin(θ₀)·t

it is best represented by the quadratic equation of an upside down parabola which is option D. -16·t² + 25·t + 1
