Today (t=0), you invested the starting prinipal of 1536 dollars. At the end of the first, second and third years, you will receive payments in the amount of 40%, 45% and 50% respectively of your initital investment. What is the net present value (NPV) of the investment if the minimum attractive rate of return (MARR) is 7.8%. Calculate the MARR for an NPV between $0 and $1 and draw the cash flow diagram.
An investor wants a real rate of return i′ of 6% per year. If the expected annual inflation rate for the next several years is 2.5%,what interest rate i should be used in project analysis calculations?
An investment pays you $100 at the end of each of the next 3 years. The investment will then pay you $200 at the end of year 4, $300 at the end of year 5, and $500 at the end of year 6.

A similar application for investment yields can be made in cases where monthly cash annuities will be received as a return on investment. For example, assume that an investor makes an investment of $51,593 and will receive $400 at the end of each month for the next 20 years (240 months). What annual rate of return, compounded monthly, would be earned on the $51,593?
Consider an investment that offers $4,000, $5,000 and $6,000 in the next 3 years, with the first payment occurring one year from now. The required return is 7%. What is the present value of this investment?
An investment will pay $100 at the end of each of the next 3 years, $200 at the end of Year 4, $300 at the end of Year 5, and $600 at the end of Year 6. A. If other investments of equal risk earn 4% annually, what is its present value? Round your answer to the nearest cent. B. If other investments of equal risk earn 4% annually, what is its future value? Round your answer to the nearest cent.
An investment has a cost of $3500. The investment will have a payout of X at the end of the first year. This initial payout X will grow at the rate of 12% per year for the next 4 years, then by 7% per year for the next 4 years, and then at the rate of 3% per year for the following 3 years. You believe the riskiness of this investment is 9%. Calculate the smallest X that would entice you to invest.
An investment will pay $100 at the end of each of the next 3 years, $200 at the end of year 4, $300 at the end of Year 5, and $500 at the end of Year 6. If other investments of equal risk earn 8 percent annually, what is its present value? Its future value?
You are looking at an investment that will make annual payments of $28,000, $32,000, $66,000, and $99,000 to you each year over the next four years, respectively. All payments will be made at the end of the year. If the appropriate interest rate is 3.6 percent, what is the value of the investment offer today?
For each of the following scenarios, state whether an incremental investment analysis is required to select an alternative and state why or why not. Assume that alternative Y requires a larger initial investment than alternative X and that the MARR is 20% per year.a. X has i* = 22% per year, and Y has i* = 20% per year.b. X has i* = 19% per year, and Y has i* = 21% per year.c. X has i* = 16% per year, and Y has i* = 19% per year.d. X has i* = 25% per year, and Y has i* = 23% per year.e. X has i* = 20% per year, and Y has i* = 22% per year.
An investment offers a total return of 18 percent over the coming year. Janice Yellen thinks the total real return on this investment will be only 13 percent. What does Janice believe the inflation rate will be over the next year?
Joan, the project manager, asks you to evaluate alternatives A and B on the basis of their PW values using a real interest rate of 10% per year and an inflation rate of 3% per year (a) without any adjustment for inflation, and (b) with inflation considered. Also, write the spreadsheet functions that will display the correct PW values. (c) Joan clearly wants alternative A to be selected. If inflation is steady at 3% per year, what real return i would machine A have to generate each year to make the choice between A and B indifferent? What is the required return with inflation considered? Machine A B First cost, $ −31,000 −48,000 AOC, $ per year −28,000 −19,000 Salvage, $ 5,000 7,000 Life, years 5 5
