Consider two investments:1. Invest $1000 and receive $110 at the end of each month for the next 10 months. 2. Invest $1200 and receive $130 at the end of each month for the next 10 months. If this were your money, and you wanted to earn at least 12% interest on it, which investment would you make, if any? Solve the problem by annual cash flow analysis.

Your company is planning to purchase a new log splitter for is lawn and garden business. The new splitter has an initial investment of $180,000. It is expected to generate $25,000 of annual cash flows, provide incremental cash revenues of $150,000, and incur incremental cash expenses of $100,000 annually.

Buena Vision Clinic is considering an investment that requires an outlay of 600,000 and promises a net cash inflow one year from now of 810,000. Assume the cost of capital is 10 percent. Required: 1. Break the 810,000 future cash inflow into three components: a. The return of the original investment b. The cost of capital c. The profit earned on the investment 2. Now, compute the present value of the profit earned on the investment. 3. Compute the NPV of the investment. Compare this with the present value of the profit computed in Requirement 2. What does this tell you about the meaning of NPV?
A process engineer plans on investing $5,000.00 now so that they may withdraw $500.00 a year for 12 years and still have $1,000.00 left in the account at the end of 12 years. a) Sketch the Cash Flow diagram. b) Write the equation for Present Worth of the cash flows in terms of the unknown rate of return. c) Calculate the rate of return on this investment using net present worth analysis techniques. (Hint: use linear interpolation).

Your organization has been asked to invest in a continuing care retirement center. Your investment will be $600,000 per year for the next 5 years. After 5 years, cash flows will be $400,000 per year for the next 15 years. If your discount rate is 10%:(a) what is the present value of the investment?(b) what is the present value of the cash flows?(c) what is the profitability index?
Suppose you invest $2,000 today and receive $11,000 in five years. a. What is the internal rate of return (IRR) of this opportunity? b. Suppose another investment opportunity also requires $2,000 upfront, but pays an equal amount at the end of each year for the next five years. If this investment has the same IRR as the first one, what is the amount you will receive each year?
An investment pays you $100 at the end of each of the next 3 years. The investment will then pay you $200 at the end of year 4, $300 at the end of year 5, and $500 at the end of year 6. If the rate of interest earned on the investment is 8%, what is the present value of this investment? What is its future value? How do you solve this with excel?
You have an opportunity to make an investment that will pay $100 at the end of the first year, $400 at the end of the second year, $200 at the end of the third year, $100 at the end of the fourth year, and $100 at the end of the fifth year. a. Find the present value if the interest rate is 12 percent. (Hint: You can simply bring each cash flow back to the present and then add them up. Another way to work this problem is to either use the =NPV function in Excel or to use your CF key on a financial calculator—but you'll want to check your calculator's manual before you use this key. Keep in mind that with the =NPV function in Excel, there is no initial outlay. That is, all this function does is bring all the future cash flows back to the present. With a financial calculator, you should keep in mind that CF0 is the initial outlay or cash flow at time 0, and, because there is no cash flow at time 0, CF0=0.) b. What would happen to the present value of this stream of…
Suppose you invest $3,000 today and receive $10,000 in 25 years. a. What is the internal rate of return (IRR) of this opportunity? b. Suppose another investment opportunity also requires $3,000 upfront, but pays an equal amount at the end of each year for the next 25 years. If this investment has the same IRR as the first one, what is the amount you will receive each year? a. What is the internal rate of return (IRR) of this opportunity? The IRR of this opportunity is%. (Round to two decimal places.) b. Suppose another investment opportunity also requires $3,000 upfront, but pays an equal amount at the end of each year for the next 25 years. If this investment has the same IRR as the first one, what is the amount you will receive each year? The periodic payment that gives the same IRR is $ (Round to the nearest cent.)
Today, you have $35,000 to invest. Two investment altenatives are available to you. One would require you to invest your $35,000 now; the other would require the $35,000 investment two years from now. In either case, the investments will end five years from now. The cash flows for each altenative are provided below. Using a MARR of 15%, what should you do with the $35,000 you have? E Click the icon to view the altenatives description. A Click the icon to view the interest and annuity table for discrete compounding when the MARR is 15% per year. The FW of the Alternative 1 is $ (Round to the nearest dollar.) The FW of the Alternative 2 is S (Round to the nearest dollar.) V should be selected.
