- An investment is expected to produce the following annual year-end cash flows:year 1: $5,000 year 4: $5,000year 2: $1,000 year 5: $6,000year 3: $0 year 6: $863.65The investment will cost $13,000 today.a. Will this investment be profitable?b. What will be the IRR (compounded annually) on this investment?c. Prove your answer in (b) by showing how much of each year’s cash flow is the recovery of the $13,000 investment and how much of the cash flow is return on investment.

Each requires an initial investment of $14,700 and will produce cash flows as follows: End of year Investment A Investment B 1 $9300 $0 2 $9300 $0 3 $9300 $27900 The present value factors of $1 each year at 15% are: 1 0.8696 2 0.7561 3 0.6575 The present value of an annuity of $1 for 3 years at 15% is 2.2832 The net present value of Investment A is: (The answer is $6534 but I do not know how to get there)arrow_forwardRevenues generated by a new fad product are forecast as follows: Year Revenues 1 60,000 2 40,000 3 30,000 4 10,000 Thereafter 0 Expenses are expected to be 30% of revenues, and working capital required in each year is expected to be 10% of revenues in the following year. The product requires an immediate investment of $81,000 in plant and equipment. a). What is the inital investment in the product? Rememebr working capital. b).If the plant and equipment are depreciated over 4 years to a slavage value of zero using straight-line depreciation, and the firm's tax rate is 20%, what are the project cash flows in each year? Assume the plant and equipment are worthless at the end of 4 years. c). If the opportunity cost of capital is 10%, what is the project's NPV? d). What is the project IRR?arrow_forward
