Prepare the financial section of a business case for the Cloud-Computing Case that is listed above this assignment in Canvas. Assume that this project will take eight months to complete (in Year 0) and will cost $600,000. The costs to implement some of the technologies will be $300,000 for year one and $200,000 for years two and three. Estimated benefits will start in year 1 at$400,000 and will be $600,000 for years 2 and 3. There is no benefit in year 0. Use the business case spreadsheet template (business_case_financials.xls) template provided below this assignment in Canvas to calculate the NPV, ROI, and the year in which payback occurs. Assume a 7 percent discount rate for the template. notes* Payback occurs in the first year that there is a positive value for cumulative benefits - costs.

Assume you currently work for the city of Edmonton in their traffic safety department. It is estimated that you could reduce fatality risk by 3% at a particular intersection if you upgrade the traffic lights to use new high visibility LEDs. The cost of this upgrade is estimated to be $400,000. If we assume a human life is worth 10 million, should you spend the money to upgrade the traffic lights? (Hint: to multiply 1% by 200 you follow this process: 0.01 x 200 = 2).
a
No, since the expected benefit ($300,000) is lower than the cost.
b
Yes, since the expected benefit ($400,000) is equal to the cost.
c
Yes, since the expected benefit ($200,000) is greater than the cost.
d
No, since the expected benefit ($100,000) is lower than the cost.

Use the business case spreadsheet template (business_case_financials.xls) template provided below this assignment in Canvas to calculate the NPV, ROI, and the year in which payback occurs. Assume a 7 percent discount rate for the template. notes* Payback occurs in the first year that there is a positive value for cumulative benefits - costs.

It is estimated that you could reduce fatality risk by 3% at a particular intersection if you upgrade the traffic lights to use new high visibility LEDs. The cost of this upgrade is estimated to be $400,000. If we assume a human life is worth 10 million, should you spend the money to upgrade the traffic lights? (Hint: to multiply 1% by 200 you follow this process: 0.01 x 200 = 2). a No, since the expected benefit ($300,000) is lower than the cost. b Yes, since the expected benefit ($400,000) is equal to the cost. c Yes, since the expected benefit ($200,000) is greater than the cost. d No, since the expected benefit ($100,000) is lower than the cost.arrow_forward

The projects have different useful lives, but each requires an investment of $490,000. The estimated net cash flows from each project are as follows: Net Cash Flows Year Office Expansion Servers 1 $125,000 $165,000 2 125,000 165,000 3 125,000 165,000 4 125,000 165,000 5 125,000 6 125,000 The committee has selected a rate of 12% for purposes of net present value analysis. It also estimates that the residual value at the end of each project's useful life is $0, but at the end of the fourth year, the office expansion's residual value would be $180,000.
