i.
Present Worth of first Cost and revenue
Expected Worth of Present worth.

Answer to Problem 36P
Present worth of first cost is $95500.
Expected Worth of Present worth is -$19295.
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Useful Life = 10 year
Interest Rate = 12%.
Calculation:
First Costs | Probability | Net Revenues | Probability |
$300,000 | 0.2 | $70,000 | 0.3 |
$400,000 | 0.5 | $90,000 | 0.5 |
$600,000 | 0.3 | $100,000 | 0.2 |
Where,
PW is the present value.
C is the initial cost of the option examined.
A is the annual amount that is consistent in the cash flow series.
P is the present worth value of the time series.
i is the interest rate.
n is the number of terms that the money is for.
Present worth for pessimistic is $95500.
First Costs | Probability | Net Revenues | Probability | Present Worth |
$300,000 | 0.2 | $70,000 | 0.3 | $95,500 |
$400,000 | 0.5 | $90,000 | 0.5 | ($108,500) |
$600,000 | 0.3 | $100,000 | 0.2 | $35,000 |
Expected worth of present worth
Useful Life = 10 year
Interest Rate = 12%
Conclusion:
Expected Worth of Present worth is -$19295
Present worth of first cost is $95500.
ii.
Expected first costs, net revenues and present worth for the expected values.

Answer to Problem 36P
Present worth of expected value is -$45900.
Explanation of Solution
Calculation:
Expected first cost = $44000
Expected net Revenue
Expected Net Worth = $86000
Conclusion:
Present worth of expected value is -$45900.
iii.
Answers in part a and b match or not.

Answer to Problem 36P
Both values in both parts don’t match.
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Useful Life = 10 year
Interest Rate = 12%.
Concept used:
Both values in both parts don’t match. As in the first part, joint probability is used to get the expected worth of present worth for the first value and revenue whereas in second part expected first cost and and expected net revenue is calculated separately and after that present worth is calculated.
Conclusion:
Both values in both parts don’t match.
