Vidhi is investing in some rental property in Collegeville and is investigating her
income from the investment. She knows the rental revenue will increase each year, but
so will the maintenance expenses. She has been able to generate the data that follows
regarding this investment opportunity. Assume that all cash flows occur at the end of
each year and that the purchase and sale of this property are not relevant to the study.
• If Vidhi's MARR = 6% per year, is this investment a profitable undertaking? Use

- Please do not give solution in image formate thanku. Biomet Implants is planning new online patient diagnostics for surgeons while they operate. The new system will cost $300,000 to install in an operating room, $5000 annually for maintenance, and have an expected life of 10 years. The revenue per system is estimated to be $80,000 in year 1 and to increase by $10,000 per year through year 10. a) Determine NPV to see if the project is economically justified using PW analysis and an MARR of 10% per year. b) Insert a Triangle distribution with minimum at $8000, average 10,000 and maximum at 12000 as the input distribution for the revenue increase. Perform Monte Carlo Simulation and discuss the results.arrow_forwardA$ 100,000 machine replacement project indicates that it can generate, after-tax cash flows, $ 35,000 per year over its 10-year useful life.
