Since we are not provided with the information or evidence about cash inflow needed to calculate the Net Present Value, we assumed three different scenarios to cover all possible outcomes.

Problem 1(10 points). Harley-Davidson has its engine assembly plant in Milwaukee and its motorcycle assembly plant in Pennsylvania. Engines are transported between two plants using trucks, with each trip costing $1,000. The motorcycle plant assembles and sells 438 motorcycles each day. Each engine costs $500, and Harley incurs a holding cost of 20 percent per year. How many engine should Harley load onto each truck? What is the cycle inventory of engines at Harley? (Assume that they work 250 days per year)

Themachine costs $35,000 and is expected to last for 15 years. Rainbow has determined that the cost ofcapital for such an investment is 12%.[A] Compute the payback, net present value (NPV), and internal rate of return (IRR) for this machine.Should Rainbow purchase it? Assume that all cash flows (except the initial purchase) occur at the endof the year, and do not consider taxes. Rainbow Products is considering the purchase of a paint-mixing machine to reduce labor costs.The savings are expected to result in additional cash flows to Rainbow of $5,000 per year.

For every $1 in sales, 77.5 cents of net income is generated. This rest is 22.5 cents in expenses. I am profitable because for every $1 my company made, 77.5 cents was my income. This means that my company gets to keep 77.5 cents for every $1 made in sales. My income is high, indicating that enough revenue is being generated from the costs of running my business. An area of strength based on my revenues and expenses is that most of my revenue is being generated from GO revenue. This means that money coming into the business is my salary that I am earning. Another area of strength is that my other highest source of
