A municipality is considering an investment in a small renewable energy power plant with the following parameters: • Cost $360,000 Average output 50 kW year-round. (This means that on the average the plant generates 50 kWh of electricity for every hour in a year) • Electricity price at the plant gate $0.039/kWh • Expected salvage value $20,000 The investment is to be evaluated over a 25-year period, and the MARR is 6% Calculate NPV of this investment and find out if the project is financially attractive? Using this formula, please show step by step calculations. NPV-Initial Cost +S(Annuities) + Salvage Value

A company is considering an investment (at time = 0) in a machine that produces large plastic boxes. The cost of the machine is 43,118 dollars with zero expected salvage value. Annual production in units during the 3-year life of the machine is expected to be (starting at time = 1) 4,213, 8,486, and 12,468. The sale price per unit of the plastic boxes is 12 dollars in year one, and then expected to increase by 9% per year. Production costs per unit will be 5 dollars in year one, and then expected to increase by 3% per year. Depreciation on the machine is 10,192 dollars per year, the tax rate is 40% and the minimum acceptable rate of return is 6% percent. Calculate the net present value of this investment. Assume all flows are at the end of each year. (note: round your answer to the nearest cent, and do not include spaces, currency signs, plus or minus signs, or commas)
