Find the present worth of the following project, using i = 10%/year.
Cash Flows
Initial cost $20000
Annual benefit for years 1 ~ 10 $6000
Annual benefit for years 11 ~ 20 $8000
Hey Here is the answer feel free to ask anything-
Calculation of present value:
-Initial Cost * Present Value Factor (10%, 0 year) + Annual Benefit * Present Value Annuity
Factor(10%,10 years) + Annual Benefit * Present Value Annuity Factor(10%,20-11years)
($200,000) * 1 + $6000 * 6.145 + $8,000 * (8.514-6.145)
($200,000) + 36,870 + 18,952
($144,178) is the present worth of the project.
Difference of Annuity factor for 11 and 20 years at 10% is used.
