plant to provide the company’s present needs can be constructed for P2,800,000 with annual operating disbursements of P600,000. It is expected that at the end of 5 years the production requirements could be doubled, which will necessitate the addition of an extension costing P2,400,000. The disbursement after 5 years will likewise double. A plan to provide the entire expected capacity can be constructed for P4,000,000 and its operating disbursement will be P640,000 when operating on half capacity (for the first 5 years) and P900,000 on full capacity. The plants are predicted to have indeterminately long life. The required rate of return is 20%. What would you recommend? *Use Present Worth Cost Method

Your company is considering the introduction of a new product line. The initial investment required for this project is $500,000, and annual maintenance costs are anticipated to be $45,000. Annual operating costs will be directly proportional to the level of production at $8.50 per unit, and each unit of product can be sold for $65. If the MARR is 15% and the project has a life of 5 years, what is the minimum annual production level for which the project is economically viable?
Calculate the annual cost of a project that has an initial cost of P 3,000,000 and an additional cost of P 1,000,000 at the end of every ten years.

A project requires an initial investment in equipment of $96,600 and then requires an initial investment in working capital of $14,400 (at t= 0). You expect the project to produce sales revenue of $131,000 per year for three years. You estimate manufacturing costs at 60 percent of revenues. (Assume all revenues and costs occur at year-end [i.e., t= 1, t= 2, and t=3]). The equipment depreciates using straight-line depreciation over three years. At the end of the project, the firm can sell the equipment for $12,420 and recover the investment in net working capital. The corporate tax rate is 21 percent and the cost of capital is 15 percent. Calculate the NPV of the project. Multiple Choice O O O $4,679 -$3,574 $13,573
A company is considering a project that will require an initial investment of 600 and additional investments of 100 and 50 at the end of years one and two, respectively. It is expected that revenue from this project will be 150 per year for five years, beginning one year from the initial investment. Assuming an annual effective rate of 15%, calculate the net present value of this project.
Elearning Company would like to develop its technology process by purchasing a production equipment for 11.2 million HUF. The equipment is expected to have a useful life of 5 years, and will be sold at the end of 5 years for 2.5 million HUF. The annual operating costs are predicted to be 1.5 million HUF.

A project will cost $45,000 to develop. When the system becomes operational after a one-year development period, operational costs will be $9,000 during each year of the system’s five-year useful life. The system will produce benefits of $30,000 in the first year of operation, and this figure will increase by a compound 10% each year. What is the payback period for this project? What is the return on investment (ROI) for this project? What is the net present value (NPV) for this project?
