1. Davis Industries must choose between a gas-powered and an electric-powered forklift truck for moving materials in its factory. Because both forklifts perform the same function, the firm will choose only one. (They are mutually exclusive investments.) The electric-powered truck will cost more, but it will be less expensive to operate, it will cost $22,000, whereas the gas-powered truck will cost $12,500. The cost of capital that applies to both investments is 11%. The life cycle for both types of truck is estimated to be 6 years, during which time the net cash flows for the electric-powered truck will be $6,200 per year and those for the gas-powered truck will be $3,500 per year. Annual net cash flows include depreciation expenses. Calculate the NPV and IRR for each type of truck and decide which to recommend.

You plan to retire 34 years from now. You expect that you will live 26 years after retiring. You want to have enough money upon reaching retirement age to withdraw $120,000 from the account at the beginning of each year you expect to live, and yet still have $2,200,000 left in the account at the time of your expected death (60 years from now). You plan to accumulate the retirement fund by making equal annual deposits at the end of each year for the next 34 years. You expect that you will be able to earn 13% per year on your deposits. However, you only expect to earn 8% per year on your investment after you retire since you will choose to place the money in less risky investments. What equal annual deposits must you make each year to reach your retirement goal?
