Requirement 1. Compute the payback, the ARR, the NPV, and the profitability index of these two options. Compute the payback for both options. Begin by completing the payback schedule for Option 1 (refurbish). Year 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Net Cash Outflows Amount Invested $ 2,400,000 Net Cash Inflows Annual Accumulated $ 2,150,000 $ 280,000 230,000 180,000 130,000 130,000 130,000 130,000 2,150,000 2,430,000 2,660,000 2,840,000 2,970,000 3,100,000 3,230,000 3,360,000 (Round your answer to one decimal place.) The payback for Option 1 (refurbish current machine) is years.

Problem 7: NPV versus IRR. Consider the following two mutually exclusive projects: Year Cash flow Cash flow (X) (Y) O 1 2 3 -9500 5800 4000 4000 PART 7A: The NPV for X is $ Answer: 2083.77 -9500 3500 5000 6000 if the required rate of return is 10%.

Compute the Internal Rate of Return for a project with the following cash flows: Year Cash Flow 0 ($2,000) 1 $500 2 $400 3 $400 4 $1,500   Question 7 options:   7%   40%   12%   8%

Net Present Value Method, Internal Rate of Return Method, and Analysis for a Service Company The management of Advanced Alternative Power Inc. is considering two capital investment projects. The estimated net cash flows from each project are as follows: Biofuel Equipment Year 1 2 3 4 Year 1 2 The wind turbines require an investment of $513,900, while the biofuel equipment requires an investment of $1,093,320. No residual value is expected from either project.
