A town’s recreation department is trying to decide how to use a piece of land. One option is to put up basketball courts with an expected life of eight years. Another is to install a swimming pool with an expected life of 24 years. The basketball courts would cost $180,000 to construct and yield net benefits of $40,000 at the end of each of the eight years. The swimming pool would cost $2.25 million to construct and yield net benefits of $170,000 at the end of each of the 24 years. Each project is assumed to have zero salvage value at the end of its life. Assume a real discount rate of 5 percent.
1. Use the roll-over method to calculate which project offers larger net benefits. Show your calculations and briefly explain the approach.
2. Use equivalent annual (net) benefit to calculate which project offers larger net benefits. Show you calculation and briefly explain the approach

Mastery Problem: Net Present Value and Internal Rate of Return Part One Companies use capital investment analysis to evaluate long-term investments. Capital investment evaluation methods that use present values are (1) Net present value method (NPV) and (2) Internal rate of return (IRR) method. Methods That Use Present Values Of the two capital investment evaluation methods, a defining characteristic NPV and IRR is that they consider the time value of money. This means that money tomorrow is worth less than money today....
I would like help, I am unsure how to solve the following questions from my study guide. I am no confused because I have to use an excel sheet upon solving them 1. The current cost function for a lab that evaluates blood tests is C=400,000 + 20Q, where Q is the number of tests performed annually. If the lab expects to perform 50,000 tests annually, what are the average costs per evaluation? 2. A clinic finds that it can...
A machine currently in use was originally purchased last year (one year ago) for $20,000. It is being depreciated using the straight-line method over a four-year period. A new machine can be purchased for $26,000 plus a $5,000 delivery and installation charge. The new machine will be depreciated using the straight-line method over a five-year period. If the new machine is acquired, the investment in accounts receivables is expected to rise by $2,500, the inventory investment will increase by $1,000,...
