5a. An elective project is currently under review. It requires an initial investment of $116,000 for equipment. The profit is expected to be $28,000 each year, over the 6-year project period. The salvage value of the equipment at the end of the project period is projected to be $22,000. Assume a MARR of 10%. Is it possible to determine if the CF profile of this project has a unique rate of return, without the benefit of a plot or a numerical method? If so, explain.

Please answer as quickly as possible A project is currently under review. An initial investment of $87,000 would be necessary for equipment. The profit is expected to be $21,000 each year, over the 6 year project period. The salvage value of the equipment at the end of the project period is projected to be 17,000. Assume a MARR of 9%. Find an IRR for this project (exact value or smallish interval). (Be careful with +/- signs) (if your approach requires a starting point, use 15%)

You are faced with a decision on an investment proposal. Specifically, the estimated additional income from the investment is $125,000 per year; the investment cost is $400,000; and the first year estimated expense of $20,000 and will increase a rate of 5% per year. Assume an 8-year analysis period, no salvage value, and MARR = 15% per year. a. Calculate the PW and FW of this proposal? b. What is the ERR ( E=MARR) of this proposal? c. What is the Simple and Discounted payback? (Upload the picture of your complete solutions including the correct cash flow diagram and your conclusion.)
ThreeRivers Corp. is considering the purchase of a new piece of equipment with a life of 12 years. The internal rate of return of the project is 20%. ThreeRivers has a required rate of return (hurdle rate) of 17%. The project would have: Multiple Choice a net present value greater than zero. a payback period more than 12 years. a net present value of zero. an accounting rate of return greater than 17%.
1. An analyst offers three investment alternatives with the initial investment of A= $200,000; B= $300,000 and C= $100,000. The net annual income for these alternatives over the next 10 years includes $40,000; $55,000 and $19,000 respectively. Use IRR to choose the best alternative. MARR= 10% and no salvage values after 10 years.
You are considering the following project. What is the NPV of the project?

Net Present Value-Unequal Lives Project 1 requires an original investment of $65,200. The project will yield cash flows of $14,000 per year for 5 years. Project 2 has a computed net present value of $15,700 over a three-year life. Project 1 could be sold at the end of three years for a price of $65,000.

Suppose the MARR is 10% with probability 0.25, 12% with probability 0.50, and 15% with probability 0.25; what is the probability that Alternative A is the most economic alternative? Two investment alternatives are being considered. Alternative A requires an initial investment of $15,000 in equipment; annual operating and maintenance costs are anticipated to be normally distributed, with a mean of $5,000 and a standard deviation of $500; the terminal salvage value at the end of the 8-year planning horizon is anticipated to be normally distributed, with a mean of $2,000 and a standard deviation of $800. Alternative B requires endof-year annual expenditures over the planning horizon. The annual expenditure will be normally distributed, with a mean of $8,000 and a standard deviation of $750. Using a MARR of 15%, what is the probability that Alternative A is the most economic alternative?
You are asked to evaluate a project proposal for Edmonton Plaza. The equipment that would be used would have a constant annual capital cost allowance over the project's 3-year life and a zero salvage value. This project would require some additional working capital that would be recovered at the end of the project's life. Revenues and cash operating costs are expected to be constant over the project's 3-year life. What is the project's NPV? This question is worth 15% of your grade. WACC 10.0% Net investment in fixed assets (basis) 65,000 Required new working capital 10,000 Annual capital cost allowance 21,665 Sales revenues, each year 70,000 Cash operating costs, each year 25,000 Tax rate 35.0% O a. 26,584 O b. 28,913 O c. 24,111 O d. 22,318
