2. A project has an initial cost of $7,900 and cash inflows of $2,100, $3,140, $3,800, and $4,500 a year over the next four years, respectively. Assume a discount rate of 10%. What is the discounted payback period? should this project be accepted if the management’s cutoff period is 3 years?
3. You are evaluating two different silicon wafer milling machines. The Techron I costs $320,000, has a four-year life, and has operating costs of $85,000 per year. The Techron II costs $456,000, has a six-year life, and has operating costs of $46,000 per year. Assume a discount rate of 10 percent.
What is the NPV (cost) of Techron I's cash flows?
