Suppose you were considering purchasing a $6300 machine today that would generate additional net profit of $2500 booked at the end of each year. Assuming you need a 10 percent annual return to justify the investment, would the investment be worth doing if you had only three years of payouts? Would your answer change if you only needed a 9 percent annual return on your investment ? Why or why not? You must use present value to demonstrate your answer, and show your work

Answer number 4 only. You are planning to invest in a machine for your manufacturing facility. The machine costs P55,400, and it has an expected useful life of 5 years. You estimate that the machine will generate an annual net cash flow (revenue minus expenses) of P21,000. The interest rate is 5% per year. 1.
