An investor was presented with a production line project in which the investment volume is 285,000 dollars, the annual sales volume is 1,800 units, the unit price is 135 dollars, the annual costs are 72,000 dollars, and the annual fixed costs are 142,500 dollars. Calculate the simple rate of return and the break-even point for the project?

An investment has an installed cost of $565,382. The cash flows over the four-year life of the investment are projected to be $194,584, $238,318, $186,674, and $154,313. If the discount rate is zero, what is the NPV? Note: Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to the nearest whole number, e.g., 32. If the discount rate is infinite, what is the NPV? Note: A negative answer should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to the nearest whole number, e.g., 32. At what discount rate is the NPV just equal to zero? Note: Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.
The most possible values of an investment project are as follows: First cost, $ 300,000 Annual operating cost, $ 10,000 Annual benefit, $ 120,000 Salvage value, $ 80,000 Life, year 30 MARR per year 15% The most uncertain parameters are annual operating cost and annual benefit. Perform a multiparameter sensitivity analysis and write your conclusions. Consider the cash flow given. Calculate the payback period with time value. Calculate the B/C ratios based on both PW and AW.
