Suppose you plan on spending $100/ac on restoring a forest on bare land you plan to buy. The project is projected to yield a harvest worth $2500/ac in 30 years. After which you sell the land for $400/ac. If you want to earn at least 6% rate of return, what is your willingness to pay for the land? Assume no other costs and revenues and that all values are in real terms. Show your work solving the problems a.) $490.28 b.) $265.63 C.) $636.27 d.) $404.92 e.) none of the above

You are considering purchasing a new punch press machine. This machine will have an estimated service life of 10 years. The expected after-tax salvage value at the end of service life will be 10% of the purchase cost. Its annual after-tax operating cash flows are estimated to be $60,000. If you can purchase the machine at $308,758, what is the expected rate of return on this investment? Answer in Excel

4. You have an opportunity to purchase a piece of vacant land for $30,000 cash. If you plan to hold it for 15 years and then sell it at a profit. During this period, you would have to pay annual property taxes of $600 and have no income from the property. Assuming that you would want a 10% rate of return from the investment, a) Draw a cashflow diagram. b) What net price would you have to sell it in the next 15 years?
You can make an investment that will immediately cost $52,000. If you make the investment, your after-tax operating profit will be $13,000 per year for five years. After the five years, the profit will be zero, and the scrap value also will be zero. You will finance the investment with internally generated funds and receive the profit at the end of each year. The net present value equation for this investment is: NPV=$| (Carefully enter your answer as an algebraic expression, using the proper notation in the proper format. Do not use the letter x to denote the multiplication sign.)
Mr Dela Cruz is going to buy a new machine for manufacturing its product: Machine A has a first cost of P50,000; annual maintenance P6,000; life 12 years and salvage value of P2,000. Machine B has a first cost of P140,000; annual maintenance P2,500, life 36 years and salvage value P10,000. Money is worth 9%.

A tract of land is expected to net $45 per acre from now into the foreseeable future. Assume that your opportunity cost is 6% or 0.06 and that your cost of borrowed funds is 5% or 0.05. You are required to repay any borrowed funds over a 30 year period with 30 equal annual payments. Assume that you have $250,000 to invest in land. Determine: • The maximal price you could pay for the land and still generate a rate of return equal to your opportunity cost. • The minimal per-acre down payment required if the investment is to "cash flow" in the first year. • The maximal number of acres you can purchase and meet the lender's "cash-flow" requirements.

Assume that it costs $1,000 to start a project. If the project will give $400 profit in the first year, $500 in the second year and $300 in the third year. find the payback period. Now assume that the interest rate is 10%, find the net present value (NPV) and the profitability index (PI) for this project
Please solve correctly . You are considering purchasing a dump truck. The truck will cost $75,000 and have operating and maintenance costs that start at $18,000 the first year and increases by $2,000 per year.

You are planning to invest in a machine for your manufacturing facility. The machine costs P55,400, and it has an expected useful life of 5 years. You estimate that the machine will generate an annual net cash flow (revenue minus expenses) of P21,000. The interest rate is 5% per year. 1. Disregarding the revenue, what is the future value of the machine cost? 2. What is the present value of the revenue in its 5 years of useful life? Is it worth the investment compared to the machine cost? 3. What is the future value of the revenue in its 5 years of useful life? is it worth the investment compared to the future value of the machine cost? 4. Suppose that at there is a maintenance expense of P3,000 at the first year, P3,500 at the second year, P4,000 at the third year, P4,500 at the fourth year, and P5,000 at the last year. What is the present value of the maintenance expense?
