- Suppose that, for a certain potential investment project, the optimistic, most likely, and pessimistic estimates are as shown in the accompanying table. Optimistic $90,000 11 years $30,000 $36,000 12% Most Likely $100,000 7 years $20,000 $27,000 12% Capital investment Useful life Market value Net annual cash flow MARR (per year) Pessimistic $122,000 5 years $0 $18,000 12% a. What is the AW for each of the three estimation conditions? b. It is thought that the most critical factors are useful life and net annual cash flow.

- Consider the three small mutually exclusive investment alternatives in the table below. The feasible alternative chosen must provide service for a 10-year period. The MARR is 12% per year, and the market value of each is 0 at the end of useful life. State all assumptions – (Use repeatability and co terminated) you make in your analysis. Which alternative should be chosen? Use the imputed market value technique in alternative C, ɛ = 10% A B | Capital investment $2,000 $8,000 $20,000 Annual revenues less 600 2,200 3,600 expenses Useful life (years) 10arrow_forwardAnother method to deal with the unequal life problem of projects is the equivalent annual annuity (EAA) method. In this method the annual cash flows under the alternative investments are converted into a constant cash flow stream whose NPV is equivalent to the NPV of the comparative project's Initial stream. Consider the case of Three Waters Boatbuilders: Three Waters Boatbuilders is considering a three-year project that has a weighted average cost of capital of 10% and a net present value (NPV) of $85,647. Three Waters Boatbuilders can replicate this project indefinitely. The equivalent annual annuity (EAA) for this project is The EAA approach to evaluating projects with unequal lives does not do a good job of taking inflation into account.arrow_forwardDelaware Chemicals is considering the installation of a computer process con- trol system in one of its processing plants. This plant is used about 40% of the time, or 3,500 operating hours per year, to produce a proprietary demulsifica- tion chemical; during the remaining 60% of the time, it is used to produce other specialty chemicals. The annual production of the demulsification chemical amounts to 30,000 kilograms per year, and it sells for $15 per kilogram. The proposed computer process control system will cost $65,000 and is expected to provide specific benefits in the production of the demulsification chemical as follows: First, the selling price of the product could be increased by $2 per kilogram because the product would be of higher purity, which translates into better demulsification performance. Second, production volumes would increase by 4,000 kilograms per year as a result of higher reaction yields, without any increase in requirements for raw material quantities or…arrow_forward
