Net Present Value Method—Annuity
Take a Load Off Hotels is considering the construction of a new hotel for $12,000,000. The expected life of the hotel is 6 years with no residual value. The hotel is expected to earn revenues of $12,400,000 per year. Total expenses, including straight-line depreciation, are expected to be $10,000,000 per year. Take a Load Off's management has set a minimum acceptable rate of return of 12%.
a. Determine the equal annual net cash flows from operating the hotel.$fill in the blank 1
b. Calculate the net present value of the new hotel, using the present value factor of an annuity of $1 table below. If required, round to the nearest dollar. If the net present value is negative, enter the amount using a minus sign.

A certain fluidized-bed combustion vessel has an investment cost of $100,000, a life of 10 years, and negligible market (resale) value. Annual costs of materials, maintenance, and electric power for the vessel are expected to total $10,000. A major relining of the combustion vessel will occur during the fifth year at a cost of $30,000. If the interest rate is 15% per year, what is the lump-sum equivalent cost of this project at the present time?

- A piece of new equipment has been proposed by engineers to increase theproductivity of a certain manual welding operation. The investment cost is $25,000, and the equipment will have a market value of $5,000 at the end of a study period of five years. Increased productivity attributable to the equipment will amount to $8,000 per year after extra operating costs have been subtracted from the revenue generated by the additional production. A cash-flow diagram for this investment opportunity is given below. If the firm’s MARR is 20% per year, is this proposal a sound one?

- Parker County Community College (PCCC) is trying to determine whether to use no insulation or to use insulation that is either 1 inch thick or 2 inches thick on its steam pipes. The heat loss from the pipes without insulation is expected to cost $1.50 per year per foot of pipe. A 1-inch thick insulated covering will eliminate 89% of the loss and will cost $0.40 per foot. A 2-inch thick insulated covering will eliminate 92% of the loss and will cost $0.85 per foot. PCCC Physical Plant Services estimates that there are 250,000 feet of steam pipe on campus. The PCCC Accounting Office requires a 10%/year return to justify capital expenditures. The insulation has a life expectancy of 10 years. Determine which insulation (if any) should be purchased using annual worth analysis.arrow_forwardConsider three investment plans at an annual rate of 9.38%. • Investor A: Invest $2000 per year for the first 10 years of your career.
