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.

olasank [31]

Answer:

The correct answer is: monetary value of all final goods and services produced within the borders of a nation in a particular year.

Explanation:

GDP of a nation can be defined as the monetary value of all the goods and services that are produced within the geographical boundaries of the nation in a year.

The GDP does not include intermediate goods and services as it may lead to double counting. The reselling of objects is also not included.

It is used to measure the health of a nation's economy. It shows the level of economic activities in a nation. An increase in GDP means economic growth.

Anit [1.1K]
Assuming that you have the values for the year 2017, the break-even point would be 1500 units for the year 2017. To calculate this, we use the idea that at the breaking point, total sales is equal to the total cost or expenses made. Which would be:

selling (x) = fixed + variable (x)

x = fixed / (selling - variable)
x = 270000 / (600-420)
x = 1500 units
