The Net Present Value for each project

Answer to Problem 15.4.1P
The Net Present value for each project for each project is as follows:
Net Present Value | |
Radio Station | $ 176,325 |
TV Station | $ 148,809 |
Explanation of Solution
The Net Present value for each project is calculated as follows:
Radio Station | Amount | PVF (10%) | PV |
A | B | =A*B | |

Concept Introduction:
NPV:
Net present value (NPV) is the method to evaluate the project feasibility. This method calculates the present value of cash inflows and outflows, and then calculates the net present value of the investment. A project should be accepted if it has a positive NPV. The formula to calculate the NPV is as follows:
To Calculate:
The Present Value Index for each project

Answer to Problem 15.4.1P
The Present Value Index for each project is as follows:
Present Value Index | |
Radio Station | 1.11 |
TV Station | 1.04 |
Explanation of Solution
The Present Value Index for each project is calculated as follows:
Radio Station | Amount | PVF (10%) | PV |
A | B | =A*B | |
