1. Park Co. is considering an investment that requires immediate payment of $31,500 and provides expected cash inflows of $12,000 annually for four years. What is the investment's payback period?

payback period = $31,500 / $12,000 = 2.625 years

2. Park Co. is considering an investment that requires immediate payment of $21,530 and provides expected cash inflows of $6,500 annually for four years. If Park Co. requires a 7% return on its investments. What is the internal rate of return?

using a financial calculator, the IRR = 8%

the IRR is the discount rate that makes a project's NPV = 0

3. Peng Company is considering an investment expected to generate an average net income after taxes of $3,400 for three years. The investment costs $50,400 and has an estimated $10,200 salvage value. Assume Peng requires a 10% return on its investments. Compute the net present value of this investment. Assume the company uses straight-line depreciation.

depreciation per year = ($50,400 - $10,200) / 3 = $13,400

net cash flows:

NPV = -$50,400 + $16,800/1.1 + $16,800/1.1² + $27,000/1.1³ = -$50,400 + $49,442.52  = -$957.48

hardwork and determination

net worth is the difference between what you own and what you have. if you exceed your liabilities you have a positive net worth. if your liabilities are greater than your assets you have a negative net worth. its a snapshot of your financial situation. if you calculate your net worth you will see the end result of everything you've earned and spent as of now. net worth statements and all you asked of can you determine where you are, how to get where you want to be, if your spending   to much. honestly it can tell you a lot of things. i can go on, but you can paint the picture from here.
