You are planning for retirement 34 years from now. You plan to invest $4,200 per year for the first 7 years, $6,900 per year for the next 11 years, and $14,500 per year for the following 16 years (assume all cash flows occur at the end of each year). If you believe you will earn an effective annual rate of return of 9.7%, what will your retirement investment be worth 34 years from now?
The following cash flows result from a potential construction project for your company:
Receipts of $545,000 at the start of the contract and $1,200,000 at the end of the fourth year
Expenditures at the end of the first year of $400,000 and at the end of the second year of $900,000
A net cash flow of $0 at the end of the third year.
Using an appropriate rate of return method (Approximate ERR), for a MARR of 20%, should your company accept this project (Perform all calculations using 5 significant figures and round your answer to one decimal place. )
What is the approximate ERR for this project? %
Should your company undertake this project?
What do you mean by internal rate of return (IRR)? Find the IRR of an investment having initial cash outflow of $213,000. The cash inflows during the first, second, third and fourth years are expected to be $65,200, $96,000, $73,100 and $55,400 respectively.
