(c) obviously, by changing the discount rate, the values in the equation for net present value will change and hence the bet present value will change. It can also be deduced intuitively that on decreasing the discount rate, net present value will increase since the benefit terms are of more value($3000) and more in number (20) and more later in the timeline than the costs.

4. The government is contemplating a project that protects a wilderness area. The project's initial costs incurred at time t-0 equal S375,000. Starting in year 1, the project is expected to produce annual net benefits of S100,000 into perpetuity (a) Calculate the net present value assuming a discount rate of 8%. Do you recommend going forward with this project? (b)There is some uncertainty about the estimates of initial costs and annual net benefits Research suggests that there is a 75%...

A firm is considering an expansion project that will last three years. The project requires an immediate purchase of a new equipment that costs $900,000. The equipment will be fully depreciated using straight-line method over the next three years. The resale price of the equipment at the end of year three is estimated to be $200,000. The project will generate annual sales of $750,000 and incur annual costs (all costs except depreciation expense) of $200,000 for each of the next...

5. Suppose you are tasked with finding the net present value for two projects aimed at reducing traffic congestion. The government will undertake only one project, the project with the highest positive NPV. Assume the discount rate is 3.5%. Project A: involves building a connected series of paths (for biking and walking) throughout the city. The paths are expected to last about 10 years. The paths cost S350,000 to construct at t-0, and yield net (of operating costs) benefits of...

Mattice Corporation is considering investing $640,000 in a project. The life of the project would be 6 years. The project would require additional working capital of $24,000, which would be released for use elsewhere at the end of the project. The annual net cash inflows would be $158,000. The salvage value of the assets used in the project would be $34,000. The company uses a discount rate of 18%. (lgnore income taxes.) Click here to view Exhibit 13B-1 and...
