The Firm should not Buy and Install the press as it delivers a negative NPV of -$24,924 at 11% discount rate over its 4 year operations
Explanation:
The General rule is to appraise the investment based on various appraisal techniques.
A technique that should be considered must have special focus on the time value of money, the required rate of returns expected by the firm and other Cashflow considerations.
The Net Present Value (NPV) approach will be the best method to proceed with.
The NPV approach typically falls under the following decision tree:
a. If NPV is negative (Reject the proposal)
b. If NPV is positive (Accept if it's a singular project, Accept the highest positive NPV if it's for mutually exclusive Projects)
c. If Zero (this is the breakeven line at which the Project covers all its cost but does not return a profit.) Also referred to as the IRR

Answer:
Ans. The value of investment after 2 years is $3,155.51
Explanation:
Hi, first we need toconvert that 9.80 percent, compounded quarterly into an effective quarterly rate, that is just by dividing by 4, since there are 4 quarters in a year, that is:
r(effective quarterly)= 9.8%/4 =2.45%
Now, since the rate is effective quarterly, the periods (time of the invesmet) has to be in quarters, so we multiply 2 years by 4 and we get 8 quarters.
With all the above information, we can go ahead and use the following formula in order to find the future value of this investment.
It should all look like this.
So, the future value of this investment is $3,155.51
Best of luck.
