A company has the opportunity to take over a redevelopment project in an industrial area of a city. No immediate investment is r

equired, but it must raze the existing buildings over a four-year period and, at the end of the fourth year, invest $2,400,000 for new construction. It will collect all revenues and pay all costs for a period of 10 years, at which time the entire project, and properties thereon, will revert to the city. The net cash flows are estimated to be as follows:
Year End Net Cash Flow

1 $500,000
2 $300,000
3 $100,000
4 $2,400,000
5 $150,000
6 $200,000
7 $250,000
8 $300,000
9 $350,000
10 $400,000

Tabulate the PW versus the interest rate and determine whether multiple IRRs exist. If so, use the ERR method when e 8% per year to determine a rate of return. A new municipal refuse-collection truck can be purchased for $84,000. Its expected useful life is six years, at which time its market value will be zero. Annual receipts less expenses will be approximately $18,000 per year over the six-year study period. Use the PW method and a MARR of 18% to determine whether this is a good investment.

Answer:

1-a. The are multiple IRRs stated as follows:

The first IRR value = 4.09%

Second IRR value = 31.82%

1-b. Rate of return = 7.58%

2. This is NOT a good investment because the NPV is negative.

Explanation:

Note: The estimated Net Cash Flow for the 4th year in the data is erroneously stated in the question as a positive value instead as a negative value since it is a cost.

The estimated net cash flows correctly before answering the question as follows:

Year End             Net Cash Flow

1                             $500,000

2                            $300,000

3                            $100,000

4                          –$2,400,000

5                            $150,000

6                            $200,000

7                            $250,000

8                            $300,000

9                            $350,000

10                           $400,000

The explanation of the answers is now given as follows:

1-a. Tabulate the PW versus the interest rate and determine whether multiple IRRs exist.

Note: See Part 1-a of the attached excel file for the tabulation of the PW versus the interest rate.

From Part 1-a of the attached excel file, it can be observed that multiple IRRs exist. This is because there two IRRs stated as follows:

The first IRR value = 4.09%

Second IRR value = 31.82%

1-b. If so, use the ERR method when e 8% per year to determine a rate of return.

Note: See Part 1-a of the attached excel file for the calculation of total future value of income when e = 8% per year.

In the attached excel file, note that year 4 has a cost not income. Therefore,

From attached excel, we have:

Total Future Value of Income = $3,661,508.81

In the attached excel file, note that year 4 has a cost (not income) of $2,400,000. Therefore, it future value is not calculated. However, the present of the cost can be calculated as follows:

Present value of cost in year 4 = $2,400,000 / (100% + e)^4 = $2,400,000 / (100% + 8%)^4 = $1,764,071.65

The rate of return can now be calculated as follows:

Rate of return = ((Total Future Value of Income / Present value of cost in year 4)^(1/Number of period)) - 1 = (($3,661,508.81 / $1,764,071.65)^(1/10)) - 1 = 0.0758, or 7.58%

2. Use the PW method and a MARR of 18% to determine whether this is a good investment.

Note: See Part 2 of the attached excel file for the calculation of net present value (NPV).

From part 2 of the attached excel file, we have:

Net present value = –$21,043.15

Since the net present value is negative, this implies that this is NOT a good investment.

What should be the function of money? What do you mean by M2?
padilas [110]

Money is any object in which you can exchange for goods or services. We consider this currency. Money is also a store of value so that you can get those goods and services at a later time (so you don't have to immediately use up the currency right away if you don't need to).

If at some future date, the unit of money isn't able to purchase as much as it used to, then we say that inflation has occurred. For example, if a loaf of bread costs $1 today but then $5 ten years from now, then we say inflation has kicked in.  

-------------------------

Before we talk about M2, it helps to start with M0. That's a zero and not the letter 'oh'. In economics, M0 is the total collection of all cash (bills and coins) that are in circulation. This means we're just talking about physical things people can touch. Building to M1, it involves everything M0 talks about plus things like travelers checks and demand deposits. So if you're talking about M1, then you involve all physical cash as well.

Then finally moving to M2, it involves everything M0 and M1 does, plus savings accounts and time deposits. By "time deposits", I mean things like mutual funds and money market accounts. Basically things you may hear about when talking about wall street.

In short, M2 involves all physical cash plus other electronic stores of value (this is a fairly vague definition but it may work in many settings). It does not involve large time deposits as that is what M3 handles.

melamori03 [73]
Since the units can be produced within existing plant capacity, the special order will not increase fixed costs. Let’s identify the relevant data for the decision. First, the variable
manufacturing costs will increase $30000 (15000×2). Second, the expected revenue will increase $37500 (15000×2.5). Thus, will increase its net income by $7500 (37500-30000) by accepting this special order.

Which piece of information in the sales contract does not help the parties specify exactly which property is being purchased?
Kisachek [45]

The contract piece of information in the sales contract does not help the parties specify exactly which property is being purchased.

As explained above, the sales contract should include buyer and seller information, legal description of the property, closing date, down payment amount, contingencies, and other important information about the sale. The essential elements of a sales contract are: (b) identify the subject; (c) prize money or its equivalent;

As a general rule, the full sales contract clause should state that the written contract constitutes the entire agreement between the parties. The clause must also state that the contract supersedes any previous agreements between the parties.
