PLEASE SHOW YOUR EXCEL FORMULASQUESTION: Consider two mutually exclusive investment alternatives given in the table below. Which project would be selected based on the rate of return decision (IRR) criterion? (Assume that MARR is 10%.). Hint: RIC Determine the MIRR on the incremental investment. Which project would be chosen at MARR = 10%? Provide your answer in a table with column headers N (year), A1 cash flow, A2 cash flow, A2-A1 cash flow. n Project A1 Cash Flow Project A2 Cash Flow 0 -$12,000 -$15,000 1 $7,500 $8,000 2 $7,500 $14,000 3 $7,500 $5,000 IRR 39.45% 38.27%
CustomMetalworks is considering the expansion of their cablefabrication business for towers, rigging, winches, and many other uses. Theyhave available $250,000 for investment and have identified the followingindivisible alternatives, each of which will provide an exit with full return ofthe investment at the end of a 5-year planning horizon. Each year,CustomMetalworks will receive an annual return as noted below. MARR is12%.Investment Initial Investment Annual Return1 $25,000 $7,5002 $40,000 $12,0003 $85,000 $20,0004 $100,000 $22,0005 $65,000 $17,000For the original problem:a. Which alternatives should be selected by CustomMetalworks?b. What is the present worth for the optimum investment portfolio?c. What is the IRR for the optimum investment portfolio?In addition to the original opportunity statement, CustomMetalworks hasdetermined that investments 3 and 4 are mutually exclusive andinvestment 5 is contingent on either investment 1 or 2 being funded.d. Now, which alternatives should…
Ten years ago, Johnson Recovery purchased a wrecker for $330, 000 to move disabled 18-wheelers. He received a salvage value of $25, 000 after 10 years of use. During this 10-year period, his average annual revenue totaled $60, 000. a) Did he recover his investment at 12% per year return? In other words, does the Annual Equivalent Value of the benefits exceed the Capital Recovery cost at an interest rate of 12%? b) Suppose Johnson moves, on average, 250 disabled 18-wheelers each year. What is his average equivalent benefit/cost per vehicle moved? c) Now, incorporate annual operating and maintenance costs into your analysis. If the annual O&M cost was $5, 000 the first year and increased by a constant 10% per year, what is the annual equivalent worth at 12% per year?
For the net cash flow series shown, (a) apply the two rules of sign change, (b) find the external rate of return using the ROIC method at an investment rate of 15% per year, and (c) determine an i* using the IRR function with and without the ROIC determined in part (b).

If the PW of an investment is negative, then we will recommend the investment. True or False?
An advertising campaign will cost $ 200 000 for planning and $ 40 000 in each of the next six years. It is expected to increase revenues permanently by $ 40 000 per year. Additional revenues will be gained in the pattern of an arithmetic gradient with $ 20 000 in the first year, declining by $ 5000 per year to zero in the fifth year. What is the IRR of this investment? If the company’s MARR is 12 percent, is this a good investment? answer should be=12.4%
A pharmaceutical company has spent $500 million to date working on a blood pressure treatment. It has to decide whether to spend another $500 million today to get final approval from the FDA in two years. Once approved, expected profits will be $50 million per year for the foreseeable future. The firm’s cost of capital is 5%. -Should the firm proceed? (Hint: use the perpetuity formula used to value projects found in the readings to find the value of the profit stream that starts in two years, and then discount that.)
Joey is one of several winners who shared a lottery ticket. There are three plans offered to receive the after-tax proceeds.Plan 1: $100,000 nowPlan 2: $15,000 per year for 8 years beginning 1 year from now. Total is$120,000.Plan 3: $45,000 now, another $45,000 four years from now, and a final$45,000 eight years from now. Total is $135,000.Joey, a quite conservative person financially, plans to invest all of the proceeds as he receives them. He expects to make a real return of 6% per year. Use the 8-year time frame and an average inflation of 4% per year to determine which plan provides the best deal.
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. a. Calculate the PW and FW of this proposal? b. What is the ERR ( Ԑ=MARR) of this proposal? c. What is the Simple and Discounted payback? include the cash flow diagram and conclusion

Kwame Nkrumah University of Cape Coast, Legon spent GHS1.8 million to install solar panels atop a parking garage. These panels will have a capacity of 500 kw, have a life expectancy of 20 years and suppose the discount rate is 10%.a. If electricity can be purchased for costs of GHS0.10 per kwh, how many hours per year will the solar panels have to operate to make this project break even?b. If efficient systems operate for 2,400 hours per year, would the project break even?c. The university is seeking a grant to cover capital costs. How big of a grant would make this project worthwhile (to the university)?
