A wind turbine engineering firm has both the experience and an undeveloped plan for a new and more efficient design. A manufacturer
has offered to pay the firm $2,000,000 for a working prototype, with complete documentation, 3 years from today. The turbine design
firm wants to earn 22% per year on its money. How much can the turbine design firm afford to invest, expressed as if its entire
investment were to take place today?
. Chemical engineers at a Coleman Industries plant in the Midwest have determined that a small amount of a newly available chemical additive will increase the water repellency of Coleman’s tent fabric by 20%. The plant superintendent has arranged to purchase the additive through a 5-year contract at $7000 per year, starting 1 year from now. He expects the annual price to increase by 12% per year thereafter for the next 8 years. Additionally, an initial investment of $35,000 was made now to prepare a site suitable for the contractor to deliver the additive. Use i=15% per year to determine the equivalent total present worth for all these cash flows.
For the cash flows shown in the diagram, determine the
present worth at time 0 for an interest rate of 10% per
year.
i = 10% per year
