Answer:
A. Wind Turbines = $82,629.57
Biofuel Equipment = $128,431.68
B. Wind Turbines = 1 + ($82,629.57 / $887,600) = 1.093
Biofuel Equipment = 1 + ($128,431.68 / $911,100) = 1.141
C. Wind Turbines = 10%
Biofuel Equipment = 12%
Explanation:
Net present value is the present value of after tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.
Internal rate of return is the discount rate that equates the after tax cash flows from an investment to the amount invested
NPV and IRR can be calculated using a financial calculator
Wind Turbines
Cash flow in year 0 = $-887,600,
Cash flow each year from year 1 to 4 = $280,000
I = 6%
NPV = $82,629.57
IRR = 10%
Biofuel Equipment
Cash flow in year 0 = $-911,100
Cash flow each year from year 1 to 4 = $300,000
I = 6%
NPV = $128,431.68
IRR = 12%
present value index = 1 + (NPV / Initial investment)
Wind Turbines = 1 + ($82,629.57 / $887,600) = 1.093
Biofuel Equipment = 1 + ($128,431.68 / $911,100) = 1.141
To find the NPV using a financial calculator:
1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
2. after inputting all the cash flows, press the NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
3. Press compute
To find the IRR using a financial calculator:
1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
2. After inputting all the cash flows, press the IRR button and then press the compute button
