Carol is hoping that an investment of $29,900 will provide additional revenue to the store of $18,000 per year for 3 years. Her partner in crime, Steven, is confident that a larger investment of $39,700 will be required to bring in a steady flow of $23,000 in new revenue per year for 3 years. Determine the discounted payback period for each investment (using before-tax cash flows). The company's required rate of return is 9%.

Your friend is considering investing $10,000 starting at the end of year 1 in an investment account and this cash flow will then grow at an annual rate of 4%. She plans on ending her contribution to the investment account at the end of year 10. If the annual return on the investment account is expected to be 10%, the future value of this investment at the end of year 10 will be closest to: O $166,667. O $71,550. $185,583. $100,000.
I am looking for the Excel formulas for this. Oakley saves up her money to buy a retail center for $1.2 million. She expects to hold on to it for the next 5 years and then will sell it for $1.9 million. Her cash flow in year 1 will be $120,000 with a 7% escalator over the next 5 years. Assume that the required rate of return is 14%. What is the NPV of this investment? What is the NPV if the escalator is only 5% per year? What is the NPV if she can only sell the retail center for $1.5 million AND a required rate of return of 15%? (5% escalator)
Let's say you are going to be an Uber driver and want to estimate your annual operating after tax cash flows. Assume the following annual estimates: -trip revenue of $20,000 -depreciation expense of $1,000 -gas and maintenance of $3,000 -insurance of $900 -tax rate of 25% - 5 year project - 10% discount rate - for sake of calculation ease, all cash flows occur on the last day of the year.

You are thinking of making an investment in a new factory. The factory will generate revenues of $1,960,000 per year for as long as you maintain it. You expect that the maintenance costs will start at $90,160 per year and will increase 5% per year thereafter. Assume that all revenue and maintenance costs occur at the end of the year. You intend to run the factory as long as it continues to make a positive cash flow (as long as the cash generated by the plant exceeds the maintenance costs). The factory can be built and become operational immediately and the interest rate is 6% per year. a. What is the present value of the revenues? - b. What is the present value of the maintenance costs? c. If the plant costs $19,600,000 to build, should you invest in the factory? EIER
Albert has told you that one of his goals is to start his own business within three years. He has estimated that he will need $7,000 in five years to get his business off the ground. Based upon your research of historical, moderate investment returns you determine that Albert should reasonably be able to obtain a return of 5.5% per year over this timeframe. 1. How much does Albert need to deposit today in order to achieve this goal? Interest compounds annually on this investment. 2. Based upon Albert's liquidity, does he have enough currently saved to achieve this goal? Based upon your analysis, Albert wonders if it might be better to put money away each month towards this goal instead of making such a lump sum payment. Using the same information:
