You are considering two types of automobiles. Model A costs $18,000, andModel B costs $15,624.Although the two models are essentially the same, Model A can be sold for $9,000 after four years of use while Model B can be sold for $6,500 after the same amount of time. Model A commands a better resale value because its styling is popular among young college students. Determine the rate of return on the incremental investment of $2,376. For what range of values of your MARR is Model A preferable?

You are being asked to evaluate the worthiness of an investment that requires you to spend $100,000 today in return for receiving $30,000 each year for seven years, beginning four years from now. Which of the following statements is TRUE If the MARR = 10%, I would conclude that this is a profitable investment. Present Worth = $30,000 X 7 - $100,000. If the MARR = 10%, I would conclude that this is not a profitable investment.

Hectorivas Biotech is considering buying a very small biotechnology research firm that develops products that are ultimately licensed to major pharmaceutical companies such as Pfizer, Merck and Eli Lilly. Because of the high development costs typically associated with this industry, negative cash flows are forecasted for the first two years of the forecast period. In year three and beyond, licensing fees are expected to generate positive cash flows. Annual cash flows are provided below. Due to the emergence of competitive products, cash flow is expected to grow at a rate of a modest 6% annually after the fifth year. The discount rate for the first five years is estimated to be 22% and then drop to 11% beyond the fifth year. As part of the combination, Hectorivas estimates the present value of net synergies to be $45 million.

You are considering developing an 18-hole championship golf course that requires an investment of $18,000,000. This investment cost includes the course development, club house, and golf carts. Once constructed, you expect the maintenance cost for the golf course to be $640,000 in the first year, $695,000 in the second year and continue to increase by $55,000 in subsequent years. The net revenue generated from selling food and beverage will be about 17% of greens fees paid by the players. The cart fee per player is $20, and 40,000 rounds of golf are expected per year. You will own and operate the course complex for 9 years and expect to sell it for $24,000,000. What is the greens fee per round that will provide a return on investment of 17%? Assume that the greens fee will be increased at an annual rate of 6%. The greens fee that will provide a return on investment of 17% is _____ per round. (Round to the nearest cent.)
Payback Period and Net Present Value If a project with conventional cash flows has a payback period less than the project’s life, can you definitively state the algebraic sign of the NPV? Why or why not? If you know that the discounted payback period is less than the project’s life, what can you say about the NPV? Explain. Q
1. Two installations are being considered to provide for water storage in a chemical plant. A tank on a tower or a tank of equal capacity placed on a hill some distance from the plant. The cost of installing the tank and tower is estimated at P350,000. The cost of installing the tank on the hill, including the extra length of service lines, is estimated at P300,000. The hill installation will require an additional investment of P30,000 in pumping equipment whose life is estimated to be 15 years with a salvage value of P2,500. The life of the two installations is estimated to be 30 years. Annual cost of labor, electricity, and maintenance incident to the pumping equipment is estimated at P3,000. Taxes and insurance for both are 2.5% of the first cost. Money is worth 18% effective.Which alternative should be used? Write a brief interpretation of your answers. (USE PW and EUAC)
