Develop a simulation spreadsheet that generates 100 random values for the three variables below. For each of the 100 simulation runs, compute NPW using a MARR of 12%. Plot a histogram of the distribution of values obtained. Compute the mean and standard deviation of the 100 NPW values. Assuming a normal distribution, find the probability that your project is acceptable (NPW>0). Variable Distribution Parameters Initial Investment Normal μ=50,000 σ=10,000 Annual Benefits Uniform a=10,000 b=25,000 Life Discrete N=4 with prob 0.33 N=5 with prob 0.55 N=6 with prob 0.12 Hint: (enter the actual formula for (P/A,12%, N) when trying to have Excel find PW of the benefits) Please attach your actual excel file in the solution, thank you.
