a) Present value is calculated as: [Cash Flow / (1 + Rtae of Interest)^Year]
Year | A1 (Cash Flow) | Present value of A1 | A2 (Cash Flow) | Present value of A2 |
0 | -900 | -900.00 | -1,800 | -1,800.0 |
1 | -400 | -363.64 | -300 | -272.7 |
2 | -400 | -330.58 | -300 | -247.9 |
3 | -200 | -150.26 | -300 | -225.4 |
4 | -300 | -204.9 | ||
5 | -300 | -186.3 | ||
6 | -300 | -169.3 | ||
7 | -300 | -153.9 | ||
8 | 200 | 93.3 | ||
-1,744.48 | -3,167.2 |
Alternative 1 should be selected as its present value is more than alternative 2.
b) If study period is only 3 years,
Year | A1 | Present value of A1 | A2 | Present value of A2 |
0 | -900 | -900.00 | -1,800 | -1800.0 |
1 | -400 | -363.64 | -300 | -272.7 |
2 | -400 | -330.58 | -300 | -247.9 |
3 | -200 | -150.26 | -300 | -225.4 |
-1744.48 | -2546.1 |
Present value of salvage is calculated as: [Salvage value / (1 + Rate of Interest)^Year]
Let salvage value be $X
Present value of salvage after 3 years = [X / (1 + 0.1)^3] = 0.751X
-2,546.1 + 0.751X = -1,744.48
X = 1,066.9 or 1,067
Salavge value of alternative 2 must be 1,067 to make these two alternative equally efficient.
The cash flow for two alternatives is shown in the table below. a) Determine which alternative...

A Texas corporation is considering the following two alternatives: Before Tax Cash Flow (thousands) Year Alternative 1 Alternative 2 10,000 20,000 0 1- 10 4,500 4,500 11-20 0 4,500 Both alternatives will be depreciated with 7 year MACRS depreciation. As Texas has no state income tax requirement, the combined income tax rate for the company is 21%. Neither alternative is replaced at the end of its useful life. If the corporation has a minimum attractive rate of return of...
Problem 09.029 Two Alternative Comparison One of two alternatives will be selected to reduce flood damage in a rural community in central Arizona. The estimates associated with each alternative are available. Use B/C analysis at a discount rate of 9% per year over a 20-year study period to determine which alternative should be selected. For analysis purposes only, assume that the benefits of reduced flood damage are available in years 4, 8, and 18 of the study period. Retention Pond...
