A project has estimated annual cash flows of $95,000 for four years and is estimated to cost $260,000. Assume a minimum acceptable rate of return of 12%.
1. Determine the net present value of the project (use 3 decimal places for the PV factor)
2. Determine the present value index, rounded to two decimal places. (use 3 decimal places for the PV factor)
Give typing answer with explanation and conclusion
A six-year project has an initial requirement of $308,000 for fixed assets and $22,750for net working capital. All of the net working capital will be recouped at the end of the project. The annual operating cash flow is $89,120 and the discount rate is 7.50 percent. What is the profitability index?
Assume that the net present value of a project is $ 3870 at 10%, and -$1853 at 12%. Use linear interpolation to compute the rate of return correct to the nearest tenth of a percent. A) 11.2% B) 10.8% C) 10.5% D) 11.9% E) 11.4%
