A company is looking at purchasing a new Zeiss CMM (precision measurement machine). They believe having this machine will allow them to get a new contract. The machine would cost $525,000. It would allow the manufacturer to produce 250 custom engine block heads per day (350 days per year) at a gross profit of $1.95 each, but the company would have to pay tax of 25% on their profit. Assuming you looked at everything on a yearly basis and that the project would go on for 5 years, what is the rate of return (%) on this project? (round to the nearest tenth of a percent)

Suppose I have computed the cost of carbon per mile for my car at 0.011 per mile. Assume that the interest rate is 5% and that I drive the car 30,000 miles per year. What is present value of the carbon expense for five years? You will need to use the PV function in Excel or a financial calculator. In Excel the present value of a stream of monetary cash flows is given by -PV(rate, number of payments, payment amount) where rate is the interest rate. We enter the payment in Excel as a positive number. You can also compute the carbon cost per year and then discount those five values back to the present.
