Solve the following problem. Consider a potential investment opportunity in a project which has a total life of 5 years. The capital cost/investment needed is 100,000 USD. The annual expenses (O&M) are 10,000 USD/year whereas the annual revenue is 20,000 USD. The end-of-service price of the asset is 70,000 USD. Using the NPV method and considering the annual interest rate of 10%, evaluate if the opportunity is good enough to be invested in. Please explain your decision. -Σα NPV = 1=0 Χι (1+r)'

a) Project Panda requires an initial investment of $560,000. The project will generate $46,000 in 2 years. After that, the project will generate 108,000 at the end of each year until the end of year 13. Using this information answer parts i), i) and i) below: i) Write down the equation that can be used to find the internal rate of return (IRR) of the project. In your equation, you must use the annuity formulas when possible. Can you advise if the rate of return is higher or lower than 12%? Provide your reason by calculating the net present value (NPV) of the project, you must use the annuity formulas when possible. Calculate the payback period in years for Project Panda. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.
Assume that it costs $1000 to start a project. If the project will give $400 profit in the first year, $500 in the second year and $300 in the third year, find the pay back period. Now assume that the interest rate is 10%, find the net present value (NPV) and the profitable index (PI) for this project.

Assuming monetary benefits of a construction project at $50,000 per year, one-time costs (initial investment) of $15,000, recurring costs of $35,000 per year, a discount rate of 10 per cent, and a 4-year time horizon, calculate the net present value (NPV) of an information system's costs and benefits. Calculate the overall return on investment (ROI) of the project. During which year does break-even occur? Use the NPV template provided (modify to suit your answer) and clearly display the NPV, ROI, and year in which payback occurs. Write a paragraph explaining whether you would recommend investing in this project based on your ﬁnancial analysis. Explain your answer referring to the NPV, ROI and payback for this project.
