a.

Summary Introduction

To calculate: The standard deviations of Year 1, Year 5, and Year 10.

Introduction:

Standard deviation (SD):

A statistical tool that helps measure the deviation or volatility of an investment is termed as the standard deviation. It is the square root of variance.

b.

Summary Introduction

To draw: The diagram of the mean (expected value) and SD for three years.

Introduction:

Expected value:

It is also known as mean. It is the value that is estimated or anticipated to earn in the future from an investment. It is computed by adding up the values that occur by multiplying each of the outcomes with their probabilities.

Standard deviation (SD):

A statistical tool that helps measure the deviation or volatility of an investment is termed as the standard deviation. It is the square root of variance.

c.

Summary Introduction

To calculate: The values and differences in the values of discount rates of 6% and 12% at Year 1, Year 5, and Year 10.

Introduction:

Discount Rate:

A rate that is used for the calculation of the present value of the cash flows is termed as the discount rate.

d.

Summary Introduction

To explain: The relation between the increase in risk overtime shown in the diagram in part (c) and the large differences in PVIFS computed in the part (b).

Introduction:

Risk:

The future uncertainty of the deviation between actual and expected outcome is termed as risk. Risk is the quantified representation of uncertainty that an investor is willing to take on the investments.

e.

Summary Introduction

To calculate: The investment is accepted on the basis of the NPV or not.

Perform a financial analysis for a project using the format table provided in the picture below. Assume the projected costs and benefits for this project are spread over four years as follow: Estimated costs are $150,000 in Year 1 and $35,000 each year in Years 2, 3, and 4. Estimated benefits are $0 in Year 1 and $85,000 each year in Years 2, 3, and 4. Use a 12 percent discount rate and round the discount factors to two decimal places. Create a table to calculate and display the NPV, ROI, and year in which payback occurs.
