2. Project A will cost $100,000 and requires working capital of $20,000. Annual revenue of $21,000 and expenses of $5,000 for five years. In the fifth year there will be salvage value of $8,000.
Should the project be accepted with a discounted rate of 14%. Annuity rate 2.91371; Single factor rate .51937.
Answer:
Present value of cash out flows = 100,000+20,000
= $120,000
Present value of cash inflows:
Annual cash flows = Revenue-expenses
=21,000-5,000
=$16,000
And salvage value at 5th year end = $8,000
Present value of cash inflows =PVAF@14 at 5years*16,000+PAF@14% at 5th year*8,000
=3.43308*$16,000+0.51937*$8,000
= $59,088
Conclusion:
Project should not be Accepted because Present value of cash inflows are less than Present value of cash out flows
