Two mutually exclusive alternative public works projects are under consideration. Their respective costs and benefits are included in the table below. Project A has an anticipated life of 35 years, and the useful life of Project B has been estimated to be 25 years. If the interest rate is 9%, which, if either, of these projects should be selected?

A proposed cost-saving device has an installed cost of $825,000. The device will be used in a five-year project but is classified as three-year MACRS property for tax purposes (MACRS schedule). The required initial net working capital investment is $91,000, the tax rate is 23 percent, and the project discount rate is 9 percent. The device has an estimated Year 5 salvage value of $139,000. What level of pretax cost savings do we require for this project to be profitable? Note: Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16. Pretax cost savings

Two roadway design are under consideration. Design 1A will cost $3 million to build and $100,000 per year to maintain. Design 1B will cost $3.5 million to build and $40,000 per year to maintain. Both designs are assumed to be permanent. Use an AW based rate of return equation to determine (a) the breakeven ROR, and (b) which design is preferred at a MARR of 10% per year

The table below shows the profit after tax and the book value of investment for three projects A, B, and C     Required:Calculate the Accounting Rate of Return (ARR) of the three projects and recommend the best option based on your calculation.

An individual decides to invest in one of two projects, A and B, which both require the same initial outlay of $10 000. Project A yields $11 500 in 3 years’ time whereas Project B yields, $12 100 in 4 years’ time. Calculate the internal rate of return for each project.

Net Present Value-Unequal Lives Project 1 requires an original investment of $65,200. The project will yield cash flows of $14,000 per year for 5 years. Project 2 has a computed net present value of $15,700 over a three-year life. Project 1 could be sold at the end of three years for a price of $65,000. Use the Present Value of $1 at Compound Interest and the Present Value of an Annuity of $1 at Compound Interest tables shown below.

Blossom Company is considering two different, mutually exclusive capital expenditure proposals. Project A will cost $450,000, has an expected useful life of 11 years, a salvage value of zero, and is expected to increase net annual cash flows by $73,500. Project B will cost $298,000, has an expected useful life of 11 years, a salvage value of zero, and is expected to increase net annual cash flows by $50,200. A discount rate of 9% is appropriate for both projects. Click here to view PV table. Compute the net present value and profitability index of each project. (If the net present value is negative, use either a negative sign preceding the number eg -45 or parentheses eg (45). Round present value answers to O decimal places, e.g. 125 and profitability index answers to 2 decimal places, e.g. 15.25. For calculation purposes, use 5 decimal places as displayed in the factor table provided.) Net present value - Project A Profitability index - Project A Net present value - Project B…

Jonczyk Company is considering two different, mutually exclusive capital expenditure proposals. Project A will cost $461,000, has an expected useful life of 11 years and a salvage value of zero, and is expected to increase net annual cash flows by $72,000. Project B will cost $271,000, has an expected useful life of 11 years and a salvage value of zero, and is expected to increase net annual cash flows by $45,000. A discount rate of 8% is appropriate for both projects.  1. What is the net present value $ of project A? 2. what is the profitability index for project A?   3. What is the net present value $ of project B? 4. what is the profitability index for project B?

answer must be in proper format or i will give down vote

A public project is being considered by a local government that will cost $10M at the start and SSM at the end of years 1 through 5. The project is estimated to earn $20M at the end of year 2, $30M at the end of years 3 and 4, and $20M at the end of year 5. Assuming i = 10%. What is the benefit-to-cost ratio for this project? Draw a cash flow diagram for the costs and benefits annually.
