A firm has a capital budget of $30,000 and is considering three possible independent projects. Project A has a present outlay of $12,000 and yields $4,231 per annum for 5 years. Project B has a present outlay of $10,000 and yields $4,184 per annum for 5 years. Project C has a present outlay of $17,000 and yields $5,802 per annum for 10 years. Funds which are not allocated to one of the projects can be placed in a bank deposit.
Identify seven combinations of project investments and a bank deposits which exhaust the budget.
Which of the above combinations should the firm choose when the bank deposit rate is (i) 15% or (ii) 20%? Explain your answer and show your work.
Suppose there is no option to deposit in the bank, but the projects are "divisible" (e.g. you may have 25% of project A). Which combination should the firm choose? Explain your answer and show your work. Use 15% as the deposit rate (discount rate).
Which of the five project net cashflows presented in the table below would be considered a Conventional cashflow?

A project your firm is considering for implementation has these estimated costs and revenues: an investment cost of $50,000; maintenance costs that start at $5,000 at the end of year (EOY) 1 and increase by $500 each year until year 10 ; savings of $20,000 per year (EOY 1–10); and finally a resale value of $35,000 at the EOY 10. If the project has a 10-year life and the firm’s MARR is 10% per year
a) what is the present worth of the project? PW = $___
b) What is the Future Worth of this project? FW = $___
c) What is IRR ? IRR = ___ %
d) Is it a sound investment opportunity? YES or NO
e) Determine the Discounted Payback? ____ 5 years
Note: For equivalent worth, round off the final answer to whole number. For Rate of Return, round off to two decimal places (in percentage)
