Explanation / Answer

A. Determinig most economical life span value in ($) Cost of a computer = 1200000 Less: Solvage value = (300415) useful value of computers = 899585 most economical life span = $899585/$200000 = 4years 6months

B. 2013:- 93200*95%*12 = 1062480

2014 :- 94000*95%*12 = 1071600

2015:- 93000*95%*12 = 1060200

Average annual expected return = (1062480+1071600+1060200)/3 = 1064760

C. 2013:- 74100*95%*12 = 844740

2014 :- 74000*95%*12 = 843600

2015:- 74200*95%*12 = 845880

Average annual expected return = (844740+843600+845880)/3 = 844740

D. IRR is the rate where NPV is zero.
