A low-risk, 4-year investment opportunity promises to pay $3,000, $6,000, and $5,000 at the end of the first, second and fourth year, respectively. A cash injection of $1,000 is required at the end of the third year. The investment may be purchased for $10,000, which would have to be borrowed at an effective interest rate of 10%. Use Economic Value Added principle to determine whether the investment should be undertaken.

YOU ARE A FINANCIAL ANALYST FOR A COMPANY THAT IS CONSIDERING A NEW PROJECT. IF THE PROJECT IS ACCEPTED, IT WILL USE A FRACTION OF A STORAGE FACILITY THAT THE COMPANY ALREADY OWNS BUT CURRENTLY DOES NOT USE. THE PROJECT IS EXPECTED TO LAST 10 YEARS, AND THE ANNUAL DISCOUNT RATE IS 10% (COMPOUNDED ANNUALLY). YOU RESEARCH THE POSSIBILITIES, AND FIND THAT THE ENTIRE STORAGE FACILITY CAN BE SOLD FOR €100,000 AND A SMALLER (BUT BIG ENOUGH) FACILITY CAN BE ACQUIRED FOR €40,000. THE BOOK VALUE OF THE EXISTING FACILITY IS €60,000, AND BOTH THE EXISITING AND THE NEW FACILITIES (IF IT IS ACQUIRED) WOULD BE DEPRECIATED STRAIGHT LINE OVER 10 YEARS (DOWN TO A ZERO BOOK VALUE). THE CORPORATE TAX RATE IS 40%. DISCUSS WHAT IS THE OPPORTUNITY COST OF USING THE EXISTING STORAGE CAPACITY?
An investment of $1,600,000 will return $320,000 per year for 6 years. Should the investment be undertaken if the required rate of return is 5%? Use the appropriate tables in Appendix A to obtain the relevant present value factor and round up your final answer to the nearest dollar. Group of answer choices Yes because the NPV is greater than zero. No, the investment rate of return is not high enough to meet the required rate of return. Can't be determined because given data does not provide all necessary information. Yes because the NPV is less than zero.
Compute the traditional payback period (PB) and the discounted payback period (DPB) for a project that costs $329,000 if it is expected to generate $94,000 per year for five years? The firm’s required rate of return is 12.5 percent? Should the project be purchased?
Consider two mutually exclusive alternatives and the do-nothing approach. Project X has an initial investment of $175 and annual positive cash flows of $65 for four years. Project Y has an initial investment of $88 and annual positive cash flows of $25 for four years. Determine the following: at what interest rates Project X would be attractive? at what interest rates would Project Y be attractive? at what interest rates would it be best to do nothing.
1. Calculate the net present value for each project. 2. Calculate the simple rate of return for each product.3. Which of the two projects (if either) would you recommend that Batelco Inc. accept? Why?
Compare alternatives A and B with the present worth method if the MARR is 14% per year. Which one would you recommend? Assume repeatability and a study period of 16 years. Capital Investment Operating Costs The PW of Alternative A is $ - 108236. (Round to the nearest dollar.) The PW of Alternative B is $ -95429. (Round to the nearest dollar.) Alternative B should be selected.

1. A project requires an initial capital cost of (40 million ID). The investor expects the project will generate annual returns of (12 million ID), with expenditures about (4 million ID) annually. If you know that the economic life is (12) years, and the salvage value after the end of the economic life is (4 million ID). Considering that the less acceptable interest rate for the investor is (10%): A. Determining the economic feasibility for investing using the present worth method? B. What is the equivalent annual worth of this investment? C. Find the internal rate of return?
An investor is considering a project which requires an outlay of 3 million pounds initially (t = 0), and another outlay of one million pounds after one year (t = 1). After two years time (t = 2), when the project ends, they expect an inflow of 4.5 million pounds. What is the internal rate of return (IRR) of this project in percent?
See the attached. What would be the correct solution?
An initial investment of £10,000 has a return of £12,000 after five years. Assuming an annual discounting rate of 3%, calculate the net cash flow (NCF) and net present value (NPV). • state the NCF (to the nearest £) • state the NPV (to the nearest £) • state which is the most appropriate measure for this investment briefly explain your choice
Consider the 6 divisible investment alternatives shown below. The planning horizon is 8 years. The MARR is 15%. $60,000 is available for investment. Solve, a. What proportion of each investment is to be included in the optimum investment portfolio? b. Solve part a when full or partial investment cannot be made in more than 3 of the investments. c. Solve part a when investments P and R are mutually exclusive.
