Explanation / Answer

Sharp Company has $31,000 to invest. The company is trying to decide between two alternative uses of the funds as follows:

Click here to view Exhibit 11B-1 and Exhibit 11B-2, to determine the appropriate discount factor(s) using tables.

Determine the net present value. (Negative amounts should be indicated by a minus sign. Round discount factor(s) to 3 decimal places, other intermediate calculations and final answers to the nearest whole dollar.)

Working:

Net Present Value :

Project A = 5000*PVIFA(8%,11) -31000

Project A = 5000*7.139 -31000

Project A = $ 4695

Project B = 46000*PVIF(8%,11) - 31000

  Project B = 46000*0.429 - 31000

  Project B = -11266

Invest in   
Project A    Invest in
Project B   Investment required $ 31,000      $ 31,000     Annual cash inflows $ 5,000      $ 0   Single cash inflow at the end of 11 years $ 46,000   Life of the project 11 years 11 years
