Transcribed Image Text:An investment project will involve spending $300,000 at time zero and $450,000 at the end of year
one. These investments will generate gross revenues of $420,000 at the end of year one and
$660,000 at the end of each year two through eight. A royalty of $42,000 in year one and $66,000
in year two through eight will be incurred along with operating costs of $250,000 in year one and
$350,000 at the end of each year two through eight.
Calculate the project before-tax cash flow for each year.
A) For a rate of return of 15%, calculate the net present value (NPV), THEN
Calculate the present value ratio (PVR) AND Calculate the benefit-cost (B-C) ratio
B) Is this project economically satisfactory, why?

- If the required rate of return of a project is 17% and the IRR rate is calculated as 15%. Identify from the following the correct decision statement. a. Yes, we can Accept the project b. None of the options c. Yes, we can accept the project if required rate change to 14% d. No, we need to reject the projectarrow_forwardA project is economically feasible if: O a Its future worth is less than zero O b. Its annual worth is greater than 0 O .ts internal rate of return is equal to its external rate of return O d. Its external rate of return is less than the minimum attractive rate of return O e. Its external rate of return is greater than 0arrow_forward!arrow_forward
- may i know the asnwer??arrow_forwardIf the net present value of a project is zero based on a discount rate of 16%, then the internal rate of return is: Select one: O a. equal to 16% O b. greater than 16% O c. less than 16% O d. cannot be determined from this dataarrow_forwardA2.

- e. IMPORTANT Note that from this example that a higher IRR for a nindividual alternative does not gurantee that the alternatvie is more economical than the one with a lower IRR. It is the incremental IRR value relative to the MARR that determines which alternative is more economical. The result of the incremental analysis are always the same as those of the PW,AW, or FW anaylsisarrow_forwardChoices for last three requirements 3. What is the approximate IRR of Project A? a. 28% b. 18% c. 24% d. 21% 4. What is the approximate IRR of Project B? a. 17% b. 14% c. 20% d. 22% 5. if the crossover rate is exactly 9.31% which of the following discount rate would have a conflict in the decision making (between NPV and IRR) assuming the projects are mutually exclusive? a. 7% b. 11%arrow_forward!arrow_forward
- Use these data to compute for each (a) the NPV at discount rates of 10 and 5 percent, (b) the BCR at the same rates, and (c) the internal rate of return for each. Describe the facts about the projects that would dictate which criterion is appropriate, and indicate which project is preferable under each circumstance.arrow_forwardYou are evaluating five investment projects. You have already calculated the rate of return for each alternative investment and incremental rate of return for the two alternatives. In calculating the incremental rate of return, a lower-cost investment project is subtracted from the higher cost investment project. All rate of return figures are rounded to the nearest integers. If all investment alternatives are mutually exclusive and the MARR is 12%,which alternative should be chosen?(a) D(b)E(c) B(d) Do nothingarrow_forwardQ1) How much is the Profitability Index?
