What is the value of an investment opportunity that will pay GH¢5,060 next year, GH¢5,500 the year after and GH¢7,800 in the third year, assuming similar investment has a return of 14.5%?
Finally, assume that the new product line isexpected to decrease sales of the firm’s otherlines by $50,000 per year. Should this be considered in the analysis? If so, how?
Consider a project with an initial investment (today, t = 0) of $200,975. This project will generate cash flows of $49,500 per year for the next 8 years, at which time (end of Year 8) the company will pay $50,000 to another for clean-up and disposal. What is the Profitability Index (PI) of the project if shareholders demand a 16.295% return? Answer with a number rounded to three decimal places, e.g., 4.0877% should be entered as 4.088.
