- You are asked to evaluate the following two projects for the Norton Corporation. Using the net present value method combined with the profitability index approach described in footnote 2 of this chapter, which project would you select? Use a discount rate of 14 percent.

Keon as a logical investor believes his investment should provide the best value of rewards and is considering which option to invest in. The expected returns should be something similar or equal to his historical gain of 9% per annum. If Keon should leave $70,000 in the safe investment , his only expected return will be $3,850 (70,000*5.5%) in nominal terms per annum. However, if he invests the $200,000 by going entrepreneurial, Keon can potentially make a significant gain as per below. Return on Investment (ROI) ROI = Net Income * 100 Cost of Investment Cost of investment = $200, 000 Cost of 1 Limousine = 80,000 Total Cost of Limousines = (80,000*4) = 320,000 Useful Life of 1 Limousine = 20 yrs Depreciation per year = 80,000 = 4,000 20…arrow_forward

Both should provide benefits over a 10-year period, and each requires an initial investment of $5,000. Management has constructed the following table of estimates of rates of return and probabilities for pessimistic, most likely, and optimistic results: a. Determine the range for the rate of return for each of the two cameras. b. Determine the value of the expected return for each camera. c. Which camera purchase is riskier? Why? a.
