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.
Consider the following project balances for a typical investment project with aservice life of four years: (a) Construct the original cash flows of the project.(b) Determine the interest rate used in computing the project balance.(c) Would this project be acceptable at a MARR of 12%?
A project has estimated annual cash flows of $95,000 for four years and is estimated to cost $260,000. Assume a minimum acceptable rate of return of 12%.  1. Determine the net present value of the project (use 3 decimal places for the PV factor) 2. Determine the present value index, rounded to two decimal places. (use 3 decimal places for the PV factor)
