Explanation / Answer

13)Present Value = 4.25/0.06 = $ 70.833;

Cost = 70.833*1.08 = $76.5

16)intial CF = $150,000

t = 8 years

after tax flow = .6*52,302 = $ 31,381.2.............. 150,000

= 31,381.2/(1+R) + 31,381.2/(1+R)^2 + 31,381.2/(1+R)^3 .........31,381.2/(1+R)^8

IRR = 13.11%

required rate of return = 14%

SinceIRR< Required return

project rejected

17)

Assuming 1000 face value ;

payments = 8/100 * 1000 = $ 80 for 20 years ;

current price = 80*10 + 80/1.15^11 + 80/1.15^12 + 80/1.15^13 + .....80/1.15^20

= $931.83
