Liwayway High School is planning to install solar panels to provide some of the electricity for its groundwater desalting facilty. The project would be done in two phases. The first phase will cost P400 million in year 1 and P500 million in year 2. This investment will result in energy savings (phase 2) of P54,000,000 in year 3, P54,600,000 in year 4, and amounts increasing by P600,000 each year through year 10. Let i = 10% per year.(a) What is the future worth of the savings?(b) Is the cost of the solar project justified by the savings? (Hint: Calculate the difference between savings and cost).

- A company is going to start a pop-up venture. The goal is to break-even and use the experience to learn about how consumers react to types of green products. The project will cost $2,000 to implement and will have after-tax cash flows of $200 at the end of Year 1 and $2,200 after Year 2. At that time the project will end. The $2,000 investment will be financed 50% debt and 50% equity. The before-tax cost of debt is 8%. The tax rate is 20%. The beta for the project is 1.2. The risk-free rate for computing the cost of equity is 5.2% and the market risk premium is 7%. Use this information to: Find the WACC for the project. Show that this is a zero NPV project.

The project will be done in two phases. Phase 1 has an initial cost of $3 million. Phase 2 will cost $2.2 million at the beginning of year 3. The system will be put into service at the beginning of year 4. The annual savings using the PV panels is estimated to be $900,000, increasing by $120,000 per year through year 10. The utility’s Minimum Attractive Rate of Return (MARR) is 10%. 1. Determine if the cost of the PV system is justified.
