- A proposed project has the following cash flow estimates.Assuming statistically independent cash flows, a normally distributed net present value, and a minimum attractive rate of return of 15%, determine the following. For the following questions, employ an analytical solution: a. the mean and standard deviation of net present value. b. the probability that the net present value is negative. c. the probability that the net present value is greater than $1,000,000. Assume the initial investment and annual receipts are normally distributed. d.

Assuming college requires five years, show that the annual return to each year of college education averages 10.9 percent. b. It is typically thought that this type of calculation of the returns to schooling is biased because it doesn’t take into account innate ability (i.e., ability in the workplace not due to college) or innate motivation. If this criticism is true, is the actual return to each year of a college education more than or less than 10.9 percent?arrow_forward
