Question

A proposed project has the following cash flow estimates. Assuming independent cash flows, a normally distributed net present value, and a minimum attractive rate of return of 18%, determine the following. For the following questions, employ an analytical solution: a. The mean and standard deviation of net present value. b. The probability that the net present value is positive. c. The probability that the net present value is greater than $5,000. Assume the initial investment and annual receipts are normally distributed. d. Using a Monte Carlo simulation with 10,000 iterations, estimate the probability that the present worth is positive and estimate the probability that the present worth is greater than $5,000.
