The federal government is considering an investment that would cost $25 billion in construction costs today (this year), but would reduce spending by $2 billion in each of the next 15 years. Suppose future values are discounted at a rate of 4 percent. a. What is the present value of the $2 billion annual savings from the project? b. should the government finance this project? Briefly explain.

A project is expected to cost $4 million today and generate a net after-tax cash flow of $600,000 at the end of year 1 and $500,000 at the end of year 2. The net cash flows from year 2 onwards are expected to grow at 6% per annum forever. If the project’s discount rate is 12%, calculate the net present value of the project. Show all calculations.

I need to know the Cash payback period for each project, the Net present value, the annual rate of return for each project and finally I need the projects ranked best to worse (1, 2, 3) on their cashpayback, net present value, and annual return. Finally I need to know which is the best project. Question 1 of 1 > E Pharoah Company is considering three long-term capital investment proposals. Each investment has a useful life of 5 years. Relevant data on each project are as follows. Project Bono Project Edge Project Clayton Capital investment $172,000 $182,000 $202,000 Annual net income: Year 1 14,700 18,900 28,350 2 14,700 17,850 24,150 3 14,700 16,800 22,050 4 14,700 12.600 13,650 5 14,700 9,450 12,600 5 14,700 9,450 12,600 Total $73,500 $75,600 $100,800 Depreciation is computed by the straight-line method with no salvage value. The company's cost of capital is 15%. (Assume that cash flows occur evenly throughout the year.)

A project requires an increase in inventories, accounts payable, and accounts receivable of $125,000, $70,000, and $65,000, respectively. If opportunity cost of capital is 1% and the project has a life of 19 years, and the working capital investments will be recovered at the end of the life of the project, what is the effect on the NPV of the project? Enter your answer rounded to two decimal places. Enter your response below. Number

Assuming monetary benefits of a construction project at $50,000 per year, one-time costs (initial investment) of $15,000, recurring costs of $35,000 per year, a discount rate of 10 per cent, and a 4-year time horizon, calculate the net present value (NPV) of an information system's costs and benefits. Calculate the overall return on investment (ROI) of the project. During which year does break-even occur?   Use the NPV template provided (modify to suit your answer) and clearly display the NPV, ROI, and year in which payback occurs.   Write a paragraph explaining whether you would recommend investing in this project based on your financial analysis. Explain your answer referring to the NPV, ROI and payback for this project.   Discount Rate (10%) Year 0 - 1.0000 Year 1 -    .9091 Year 2 -    .8264 Year 3 -    .7513 Year 4 -    .6830

What is the discounted payback of a project that has an initial outlay of $20,000 and will generate $6,000 in year 1, $12,000 in year 2, $9,000 in year 3, and $14,000 in year 4 assuming the cost of capital is 10%?

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

Determine the payback period, in years, of a project that is expected to generate $80,000 per year in cash flow. The project cost (initial investment) is $1,100,000. Then, name one other method (excluding payback period) used by financial managers, to assess the viability of a multi-year project. State specifically how the method that you named is different from the payback period method.

Suppose you considering investing $34 to earn $4.8 every year for forever. If the annual interest rate is 6.2%, what is the NPV of this project? Suppose you considering investing $24 to earn $6.6 every year for forever. If the annual interest rate is 6.5%, what is the NPV of this project?

)   A company requires an initial investment of $75,000 with a residual value of $12,500 after five years.  The estimated annual returns over the five years are $20,000 at 12% compounded annually. What is the net present value of this project? ____________ b.  What is the project’s internal rate of return (IRR)?  __________
