I believe this answer is true.
Answer:
A. NPV for A= $61,658.06
NPV for B = $25,006.15
B. 1.36
1.17
Project A
Explanation:
Net present value is the present value of after tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.
NPV can be calcuated using a financial calculator
for project A :
Cash flow in
Year 0 = $(172,325)
Year 1 41,000
Year 2 47,000
Year 3 85,295
Year 4 86,400
Year 5 56,000
I = 10%
NPV = $61,658.06
for project B
year 0 = $ (145,960)
Cash flow in
Year 1 27,000
Year 2 52,000
Year 3 50,000
Year 4 71,000
Year 5 28,000
I = 10%
NPV = $25,006.15
profitability index = 1 + NPV / Initial investment
for project A, PI = $61,658.06 / 172,325 = 1.36
For project B, PI = $25,006.15 / 145,960 = 1.17
The project with the greater NPV and PI should be chosen. this is project A.
To find the NPV using a financial calculator:
1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
2. after inputting all the cash flows, press the NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
3. Press compute
In the rooms because that is where the amenities are located ie the bed comfort, the TV, the view, the room size and then the leaning services and the room service (for food from the restaurants)
