Calculate the Payback Period of Project A (expressed in years, months and days) Calculate the Accounting Rate of Return on average investment of Project A (expressedto two decimal places). Calculate the Benefit Cost Ratio of both projects (expressed to two decimal places). Which project should be chosen? Why? Calculate the Internal Rate of Return of Project B (expressed to two decimal places). Youranswer must include two net present value calculations (using consecutiverates/percentages) and interpolation.
Assume a project has three variables: life, first cost, and annual cost. Assume there is no salvage value. For each variable there are three possible values as listed below. The firm uses an interest rate of 8 percent to evaluate engineering projects. For each variable, determine which value is "optimistic" and which is "pessimistic". The remaining value is "most likely". Compute each variable's estimated mean (using the "optimistic/most likely/pessimistic" formula) and using those computed mean values, compute the project's expected present value cost. First cost: -$480,000, -$620,000, -$860,000 Annual cost: -$75,000, -$85,000, -$110,000 Life: 8 years, 10 years, 24 years What is Expected Net Present Worth?
1. Using the high-low method of cost estimation, estimate the behavior of the maintenance costs incurred by Nation’s Capital Fitness, Incorporated. Express the cost behavior pattern in equation form. Note: Round coefficient of X to 2 decimal places and other answer to the nearest whole dollar amount. 2. 2. Using your answer to requirement 1, what is the variable component of the maintenance cost? Note: Round your answer to 2 decimal places.

Wallace Company is considering two projects. Their required rate of return is 10%. Which of the two projects, A or B, is better in terms of internal rate of return?
The most likely outcomes for a particular project are estimated as follows: Unit price Variable cost $ 49 21 $309, 000 29, 200 uni ts per year Fixed cost Expected sales However, you recognize that some of these estimates are subject to error. Suppose that each variable may turn out to be either 10% higher or 10% lower than the initial estimate. The project will last for 13 years and requires an initial investment of $0.99 million, which will be depreciated straight-line over the project life to a final value of zero. The firm's tax rate is 35% and the required rate of return is 17%. What is project NPV in the "best case" scenario, that is, assuming all variables take on the best possible value? (Round your answer to the nearest whole dollar amount.) NPV in the "best case" scenario 1961296 What about the "worst case" scenario? (Use the minus sign for negative values. Round your answer to the nearest whole dollar amount.) NPV in the "worst case" scenario -148345
