If a garden center is considering the purchase of a new tractor with an initial investment cost of $117,000, and the center expects a return of $31,000 in year one, $22,000 in years two and three, $17,000 in years four and five, and $8,000 in year six and beyond, what is the payback period? fill in the blank 1 years

Replacing old equipment at an immediate cost of $70,000 and an additional outlay of ​$20,000 three years from now will result in savings of ​$16,000 per year for 8 years. The required rate of return is 10​% compounded annually. Compute the net present value and determine if the investment should be accepted or rejected according to the net present value criterion.

Billabong Tech uses the internal rate of return (IRR) to select projects. Calculate the IRR for each of the following projects and recommend the best project based on this measure. Project T-Shirt requires an initial investment of $26,500 and generates cash inflows of $9,000 per year for 7 years. Project Board Shorts requires an initial investment of $38,333 and produces cash inflows of $12,500 per year for 8 years. The IRR of project T-Shirt is %. (Round to two decimal places.)

2. (a) You want to set-up a scholarship fund that will support $20000/year for an infinite period. The fund is expected to earn 8% return per year forever. What initial investment is needed to set-up the scholarship fund? Find the value of (P/A,1/2%, ∞). (b) Estimate the depreciation schedule of a machine with an initial cost of $100,000, useful life of 8 years and a salvage value of $30,000. Use the double declining balance method to develop the depreciation schedule.

You are responsible to manage an IS project with a 4-year horizon. The annal cost of the project is estimated at $40,000 per year, and a one-time costs of $120,000. The annual monetary benefit of the project is estimated at $96,000 per year with a discount rate of 6 percent. a. Calculate the overall return on investment (ROI) of the project. b. Perform a break-even analysis (BEA). At what year does break-even occur?

Investment Criteria. What is the NPV of a project that costs $250,000 and provides cash inflows of $50,000 annually for ten years and the discount rate is 10 percent? Should the project be accepted? Please show your work

A small hydro dam supplying electricity to 10,000 households has just been constructed that has cost $30,000,000 to build with a life expectancy of 60 years. Annual maintenance costs are $500,000 and extensive renovations of $5, 000, 000 are expected every 15 years. If the interest rate is 7 %/year, how much will each household be charged per year so that the costs of the project are recovered?

A new project will cost $40,000 to fund today, and an additional $40,000 next year.  The device built will generate revenues of $17,000 starting in year 2 which increases by 4% each year until the device is sold at the end of year 12.  The device’s salvage value is $10,000.  $2,000 of maintenance is required every year.  What is the NPV of building this device, if the interest to borrow the funds is 15%?  (Round to nearest dollar)

You have been tasked with recommending one of the two investment projects for acceptance by your company. Project 1 costs $100,000 to implement today (it is a cost), it will bring subsequent positive cash flows of $50,000 at the end of year one; and subsequently $30,000;  $45,000;  $8,000. Project 2 initial cost is $14,000, and subsequent cash flows are $7,000 per year for 3 years. Your company is using WACC of14% for both projects. a. Calculate NPV and IRR for each project, and decide which one to recommend. b. Calculate MIRR for projects A and B. Which project would you recommend based on MIRR? c. Find the crossover rate. What does this rate represent? Describe in YOUR OWN words.
