The prospective exploration for oil in the outer continental shelf by a small, independent drilling company has produced a rather curious pattern of cash flows as follows: EOY Net Cash Flow 0 -$520,000 1-10 $200,000 10 -$1,500,000 The $1,500,000 expenses at EOY 10 will be incurred by the company in dismantling the drilling rig. Customarily, the company expects to earn at least 20% per year on invested capital before taxes. Complete the compounding factors below to determine the ERR.

Beth has a no-annual-fee Visa credit card that charges an APR of 12.5% per year. Interest is compounded monthly. If a payment is missed by even 1 day, the rate jumps to an APR of 24.5% for the remainder of the time she keeps the card or until the total debt is paid off. (This is not an uncommon practice for many banks that issue credit cards when you read the fine print.) The current balance is $2000 and there is a minimum payment of $20.83 per month at the 12.5% rate. Beth decided “enough already”; she decided to stop using the card immediately and pay the balance off as soon as her budget allowed. She realizes that if she misses a payment due date, the minimum will increase to $40.83 per month until the total balance is paid at this higher APR. a. Verify the monthly minimums for both nominal (APR) rates for a balance of $2000. b. If she pays well over the minimum at $40 per month on time, how many months and years will it take to become debt-free of this card? Use an equation and a…
Combined-cycle power plants use two combustion turbines to produceelectricity. Heat from the first turbine’s exhaust is captured to heatwater and produce steam sent to a second steam turbine thatgenerates additional electricity. A 968-megawatt combined-cycle gasfired plant can be purchased for P450 million, has no salvage value,and produces a net cash flow (revenues less expenses) of P50 millionper year over its expected 30-year life.a. If the hurdle rate (MARR) is 14% per year, how profitable aninvestment is this power plant?b. What is the simple payback period for the plant? Is this investmentacceptable?
E3 Your company plans to raise price on product A by 5% per year. Due to competition, sales volume from product A is expected to decline at 10% per year. Revenue will be $5M for this year. Alternatively, based on the projection from the marketing department, you may reduce the sales volume decline from 10% to 5% if the price is kept unchanged. The product will be discontinued at the end of year 5 for both scenarios. If the firm's TVOM is 10%, Determine the revenue cash flow streams for both alternatives. What is the Excel financial function to compute PW of the revenue streams?
