Perit Industriesâ discount rate is 15%. Click here to view Exhibit 14B-1 and Exhibit 14B-2, to determine the appropriate discount factor(s) using tables. Required:Calculate net present value for each project. Project A Project B Net present value

NPV for A = $31,764.61

NPV for B= $195,846.98

Explanation:

Net present value is the present value of after tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.  

NPV can be calculated using a financial calculator  

For project A

Cash flow in year 0 = cost of equipment + working capital investment = $ -115,000

Cash flow each year from year 1 to 5 = 21,000

Cash flow in year 6 = year 6 cash flow + salvage value + working capital investment = $21,000 + $8,700 = $29,700

I = 15%

NPV = $31,764.61

For project B

Cash flow in year 0 = cost of equipment + working capital investment = $ -115,000

Cash flow each year from year 1 to 5 = 69,000

Cash flow in year 6 = year 6 cash flow + salvage value + working capital investment = 69,000  + 115,000  = $184,000

I = 15%

NPV = $195,846.98

To find the NPV using a financial calculator:

1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

2. after inputting all the cash flows, press the NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.  

3. Press compute  

typically a loft will include modern kitchen and bathrooms, this increases the price tag. lofts also have a good amount of open space, this requires more heating and electricity. lofts are also in older buildings, this means that maintaining the location increases the bill. keep in mind this is without talking about the high state and property taxes.

i hope this you! : )
