Colin is analyzing a 3-year project that has an initial cost of $199,800. This cost will be depreciated straight-line to zero over three years. The projected annual net income for the three years is $11,600, $15,900, and $17,200. If the discount rate is 12 percent, what is the average accounting rate of return?

Markoff Products is considering two competing projects, but only one will be selected. Project A requires an initial investment of $42,000 and is expected to generate future cash flows of $6,000 for each of the next 50 years. Project B requires an initial investment of $210,000 and will generate $30,000 for each of the next 10 years. If Markoff requires a payback of 8 years or less, which project should it select based on payback periods?
Perform a financial analysis for a project. Assume that the projected costs and benefits for this project are spread over four years as follows: Estimated costs are $300,000 in Year 1 and $ 75,000 each year in Years 2, 3, and 4. Estimated benefits are $0 in Year 1 and $110,000 each year in Years 2, 3, and 4. Use a 6 percent discount rate, and round the discount factors to two decimal places. What is the Return on Investment (ROI)? (Keep your answer in two decimal places. e.g. 46.59. Do not enter % symbol.)
What is the internal rate of return (IRR) of a project that costs $20,070 if it is expected to generate $8,500 per year for three years?
A project has an initial cost of $8,500 and produces cash inflows of $2,700, $4,800, and $1,600 over the next three years, respectively. What is the discounted payback period if the required rate of return is 8%?
You are evaluating a project that costs $75,000 today. The project has an inflow of $ 155,000 in one year and an outflow of $65,000 in two years. What are the IRRs for the project? What discount rate results in the maximum NPV for this project? How can you determine that this is the maximum NPV?
You are considering a project with an initial cost of $7,800. What is the payback period for this project if the cash inflows are $1,100, $1, 640, $3,800, and $4,500 a year over the next four years, respectively? Show all calculations.
You are evaluating a project that costs $75,000 today. The project has an inflow of $160,000 in one year and an outflow of $65,000 in two years. What are the IRRs for the project? What discount rate results in the maximum NPV for this project?
You are considering a project with an initial cost of $7,500. What is the payback period for this project if the cash inflows are $1,100, $1,640, $3,800, and $4,500 a year over the next four years, respectively?
A project has an initial cost of $90,400, a life of 9 years, and equal annual cash inflows. The required return is 8.4 percent. According to the profitability index decision rule, what is the minimum annual cash flow necessary to accept the project?
Assume that it costs $1,000 to start a project. If the project will give $400 profit in the first year, $500 in the second year and $300 in the third year. find the payback period. Now assume that the interest rate is 10%, find the net present value (NPV) and the profitability index (PI) for this project
(4) Evaluate the ROI.
Perform a financial analysis for a project. Assume that the projected costs and benefits for this project are spread over 6 years as follows. Estimated costs are $1,100,000 in Year 0, and $50,000 each year in Years 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6. Estimated benefits are $0 in Year 0, and $450,000 each year in Years 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6. Use a 15% discount rate. Suppose the required payback period and discounted payback period are both 3 years. (1) Calculate the payback period (based on the original cash flows without discounting), and evaluate the project based on the payback method. (2) Calculate the discounted payback period (based on discounted cash flows), and evaluate the project based on the discounted payback method. (3) Evaluate the project using the NPV method, and explain whether you would recommend investing in this project.
