A machine would cost $100,000, and would generate revenues of $21,000 per year. However, O&M costs would be $7,000 per year. The machine would last 10 years and your MARR is 7% annual rate compounded annually. (a) What is the net present value of this potential investment? (b) Should you invest in this machine? Give one sentence answer for why or why not.

(a) What is the net present value of this potential investment?

Net present value of Investment is $(3,903)

(b) Should you invest in this machine?

We should not invest in this investment because Net present value of this investment is negative by discounting Minimum acceptable rate of return.

Explanation:

Present Values:

Revenue $144,146

O&M Cost ($48,049)

Initial Investment $(100,000)

Net Present value $(3,903)

Working :

Present Value Calculation = P x ( (1- ( 1 + r )^-10) / r

Revenue = $21,000 x ( (1- ( 1 + 0.075 )^-10) / 0.075 = 144,146

O&M Costs = $7,000 x ( (1- ( 1 + 0.075 )^-10) / 0.075 = 48,049

Answer from: pmdm95

A) NPV = -1669.6

B) Since this value is negative, the machine should not be invested in because the cash outflow is greater than the inflow.

Explanation:

The question is to determine whether we should invest in the machine or not using the net present value formula for calculation as follows:

Step 1: We determine the Net present Value of the annual receipts

=The Revenue expected yearly - the Costs incurred yearly

= $21,000 - $7,000

= $14,000

Based on this estimated amount, we then determine the present values of the cash flow as follows

To do this, we use the Present Value Interest Factors for a One-Dollar Annuity Table

We use 7% annual rate and 10 year period. We plug this into the table and get 7.0236

Also, using this formula we arrive at the same figure PVIFA = [1 - 1/(1 + k)n] / k

Based on the figure:

The present Value of the cash flow for 10 years

= $14,000 x (the Present Value of Annuity determined above)

= $14,000 x 7.0236

= $98,330.4

Finally, the Net present Value

= The Present Value of Cash inflows - The initial cost of the machine

= $98,330.4 - $100,000

= -1669.6

Since this value is negative, the machine should not be invested in because the cash outflow is greater than the inflow.

A) plot the m1 and m2 money stock in the us from 1990-2015. (hint: you may use the data tools provided by fred.) (b) plot the nominal interest rate from 1960 to 2014. (hint: you can either use the daily interest rates for selected u.s. treasury, private money market and capital market instruments from or the effective federal funds rate fromfred.) (c) the consumer price index (cpi) is a measure of the average change over time in the prices paid by urban consumers for a market basket of consumer goods and services. intuitively, the cpi represents the cost of living or the average price level. plot the cpi from 1960 to 2013.(d) the inflation rate is the yearly percentage change in the average price level. in practice, we usually use the percentage change in the cpi to compute the inflation rate. plot the inflation rate from 1960 to 2013.(e) explain the difference between the ex-ante and ex-post real interest rate. use the fisher equation to compute the ex-post real interest rate. plot the nominal interest rate and the ex-post real interest rate from 1960 to 2013 in the same graph.

Profits from using currency options and futures.on july 2, the two-month futures rate of the mexican peso contained a 2 percent discount (unannualized). there was a call option on pesos with an exercise price that was equal to the spot rate. there was also a put option on pesos with an exercise price equal to the spot rate. the premium on each of these options was 3 percent of the spot rate at that time. on september 2, the option expired. go to the oanda.com website (or any site that has foreign exchange rate quotations) and determine the direct quote of the mexican peso. you exercised the option on this date if it was feasible to do so. a. what was your net profit per unit if you had purchased the call option? b. what was your net profit per unit if you had purchased the put option? c. what was your net profit per unit if you had purchased a futures contract on july 2 that had a settlement date of september 2? d. what was your net profit per unit if you sold a futures contract on july 2 that had a settlement date of september 2
