Question

BXV, Inc. is considering a 15-year investment project that will cost $300,000. It is estimated that none of the $300,000 will be returned to BXV at the end of the project's life. BXV's discount rate is 10%. What is the minimum amount of profit that BXV would need each year of the project's life for this project to be acceptable (rounded)? (NOTE: The present value of $1 for 15 periods at 10% is 0.315. The present value of an annuity of $1 in arrears for 15 periods at 10% is 8.559.)

Explanation / Answer

D) $35,051


We need a NPV of atleast 0. Let the profits be 'x'
Hence,
-300000 + x*PVIFA(10%,15) > 0
x*8.559 > 300000
x > 35050.82
