Explanation / Answer

(8) True

Identifying and defining the goal is the first step.

(9) True

The cash flow diagram graphically depicts the cash flows during project life and, if project life and discount rate are given, the problem can be worked out.

(10) False

For infinite period, P = A x (1/i), therefore P/A = 1/i

(11) (B)

Equivalent value of the gradient cash flows at period 3 = - [40 x P/F(5%, 1) + 30 x P/F(5%, 2) + 20 x P/F(5%, 3) + 10 x P/F(5%, 4)]

= - [(40 x 0.9524**) + (30 x 0.9070**) + (20 x 0.8638**) + (10 x 0.8227**)]

= - (38.10 + 27.21 + 17.28 + 8.23)

= - 90.81
