A company would like to invest on a project. The rate the company uses to justify their investments, i.e. the MARR is 25% per year (compounded yearly). Their estimations about the projects are as follows: Initial Cost: ($300,000)The Study Period: 15 yearsSalvage (Market) Value of the Project: 20% of the initial cost 1-) What is the capital recovery cost, CR? 2-) Operating costs in the first year are estimated to be ($7,500) and these operating costs are estimated to increase by 5% per year. Construct cash flow table and determine the minimum amount of annual revenue ($ per year?) that makes this investment an attractive option for the company? (i.e. what is Equivalent UNIFORM (Annual) Cost, EU(A)C?) 3-) Benefits in in the first year are estimated to be $30,000 and these benefits are estimated to increase by 13% per year.

Alset Inc. is considering manufacturing and selling high-end electric automobiles for the next four years. It hired two research and development teams. Team #1: This team believes that it would be realistic to sell 16 cars for $295,000 after-tax profit per car (i.e., operating cash flow per car). The R&D team also estimates $14.1 million in required initial investment. A 13 percent annual rate of return would be appropriate for discounting all future cash flows. a. Calculate the Net Present Value of this project according to Team #1. (Let's call it the "base-case Net Present Value".) (A negative answer should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer in dollars, not millions of dollars, rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 1,234,567.89.) b. Team #2: This team has done a more sophisticated analysis, which may potentially greatly affect the project's revised Net Present Value! The project goes as planned for four years…
