Present value index:
Present value index is a technique, which is used to rank the proposals of the business. It is used by the management when the business has more investment proposals, and limited fund.
The present value index is computed as follows:

- Average rate of return Determine the average rate of return for a project that is estimated to yield total income of 936,000 over eight years, has a cost of 1,200,000, and has a 100,000 residual value.arrow_forwardAssume that the net present value of a project is $ 3870 at 10%, and -$1853 at 12%. Use linear interpolation to compute the rate of return correct to the nearest tenth of a percent. A) 11.2% B) 10.8% C) 10.5% D) 11.9% E) 11.4%arrow_forwardFind the net present value (NPV) and profitability index (PI) of a project that costs $1,500 and returns $800 in year one and $850 in year two. Assume the project’s cost of capital is 8 percent.arrow_forward
- A project has an initial cost of $61,450, expected net cash inflows of $11,000 per year for 10 years, and a cost of capital of 8%. What is the project's MIRR? Round your answer to two decimal places.arrow_forward(Payback period, net present value, profitability index, and internal rate of return calculations) You are considering a project with an initial cash outlay of $76,000 and expected cash flows of $22,040 at the end of each year for six years. The discount rate for this project is 9.8 percent. a. What are the project's payback and discounted payback periods? b. What is the project's NPV? c. What is the project's Pl? d. What is the project's IRR? a. The payback period of the project is years. (Round to two decimal places.)arrow_forwardConsider the following capital investment proposal: It requires an initial investment of $1 billion. The project is expected to generate cash flows of $200 million, $300 million, $400 million, and $500 million in the next four years. What is the IRR of the proposed investment? Enter your answer in percent, do not use the % symbol. Round your answer to two decimals.arrow_forward
- Consider the following set of independent investment projects: (a) For a MARR of 10%, compute the net present worth for each project, and determine the accepta bility of each project.(b) For a MARR of 10%, compute the net future worth of each project at the end of each project period, and determine the acceptability of each project.(c) Compute the future worth of each project at the end of six years with variable MARRs as follows: 10% for n = 0 to n = 3 and 15% for n = 4 ton = 6.arrow_forwardREQUIRED Use the information provided below to calculate the following: 5.1 Payback Period of both projects (expressed in years, months and days). 5.2 Accounting Rate of Return (on initial investment) of Project Spik (expressed to two decima places). 5.3 Net Present Value of both projects. 5.4 Internal Rate of Return of Project Spik (expressed to two decimal places). Your answer must include two net present value calculations (using consecutive rates/percentages) and interpolation. INFORMATION Telco Ltd had to choose between purchasing machinery for two projects, Spik and Span, for which the following profits are forecast: Year 1 2 3 4 Spik R70 000 R70 000 R70 000 R70 000 Span R20 000 R60 000 R120 000 R70 000 Each project requires an investment of R800 000. Project Span is expected to have a scrap value of R40 000. The cost of capital is 12%. The straight-line method of depreciation is used. Ignore taxes.arrow_forwardPart Five APPLY THE CONCEPTS: Net present value and Present value index This project requires an initial investment of $175,000. The project will have a life of 8 years. Annual revenues associated with the project will be $130,000 and expenses associated with the project will be $35,000. Calculate the net present value and the present value index for each project using the present value tables provided below. Present Value of $1 (a single sum) at Compound Interest. Present Value of an Annuity of $1 at Compound Interest. Note: • Use a minus sign to indicate a negative NPV. • If an amount is zero, enter "0". • Enter the present value index to 2 decimals. Total present value of net cash flow Amount to be invested Net present value Present value index: Project A Project B Sutherland Corp. is looking to invest in Project A or Project B. The data surrounding each project is provided below. Sutherland's cost of capital is 8%. Project A Project A Project B Project B This project requires an…arrow_forward
