1.b You are faced with a decision on an investment proposal. Specifically, the estimated additional income from the investment is $125,000 per year; the investment cost is $400,000; and the first year estimated expense of $20,000 and will increase a rate of 5% per year. Assume an 8-year analysis period, no salvage value, and MARR = 15% per year. What is the ERR ( Ԑ=MARR) of this proposal?

- A new product requires an initial investment of $140,000, and an annual operating expense of $32,000. This product is estimated to generate $47,000 revenue in the first year, and the revenue is expected to increase by $7,000 each year thereafter for 11 years. Determine whether this new product is a good investment using the ERR method. Assume MARR is 4% per year.arrow_forwardNowadays it is very important to reduce one's carbon "footprint" (how much carbon we produce in our daily lifestyles). Minimizing the use of fossil fuels and instead resorting to renewable sources of energy (e.g., solar energy) are vital to a "sustainable" lifestyle and a lower carbon footprint. Let's consider solar panels that prewarm the water fed to a conventional home water heater. The solar panels have an installed cost of $3000 and they reduce the homeowner's energy bill by $30 per month. The residual value of the solar panels is negligible at the end of their 10-year life. What is the annual effective IRR of this investment? The annual effective IRR of this investment is%.

However, in a receding economy the expected return is 8%. Normally a 10% per year return is anticipated. An expanding economy causes the estimates of project life to go down about 20%, and a receding economy causes the life values to increase about 10%. Additionally, the market value after the project’s life varies widely; optimistically, it may be as high as 50% more or as low as 75% of the initial investment. (a) Summarize the optimistic, most likely, and pessimistic estimates in tabular form. (b) Use a spreadsheet to calculate and plot the sensitivity of PW versus (1) MARR, (2) life values, and (3) market value for possible investment in one of two locations. Use the most likely estimates for the other parameters. (c) Considering all the analyses, under which scenario, if any, should location Miami or Houston be rejected?

She knows the rental revenue will increase each year, but so will the maintenance expenses. She has been able to generate the data that follows regarding this investment opportunity. Assume that all cash flows occur at the end of each year and that the purchase and sale of this property are not relevant to the study. • If Vidhi's MARR = 6% per year, is this investment a profitable undertaking?
