P10–4 Long-term investment decision, payback method Bill Williams has the opportunity

to invest in project A that costs $9,000 today and promises to pay annual end-ofyear

payments of $2,200, $2,500, $2,500, $2,000, and $1,800 over the next 5 years.

Or, Bill can invest $9,000 in project B that promises to pay annual end-of-year payments

of $1,500, $1,500, $1,500, $3,500, and $4,000 over the next 5 years.

a. How long will it take for Bill to recoup his initial investment in project A?

b. How long will it take for Bill to recoup his initial investment in project B?

Long term investment decision, NPV method Jenny Jenks has researched the financial

pros and cons of entering into an elite MBA program at her state university.

The tuition and needed books for a master’s program will have an upfront cost of

year over a business career of 40 years. Jenny feels that her opportunity cost of capital

is 6%. Given her estimates, find the net present value (NPV) of entering this

MBA program. Are the benefits of further education worth the associated costs?

Internal rate of return. Peace of Mind, Inc. (PMI), sells extended warranties for durable consumer goods such as washing machines and refrigerators. When PMI sells an extended warranty, it receives cash up front from the customer, but later PMI must cover any repair costs that arise. An analyst working for PMI is considering a warranty for a new line of big-screen TVs. A consumer who purchases the 2-year warranty will pay PMI $200. On average, the repair costs that PMI must cover will average $106 for each of the warranty's 2 years. If PMI has a cost of capital of 7%, should it offer this warranty for sale?
