Question

A project has the following cash flow. Year zero's cash flow is $10000. The following years' cash flows decrease by $2000 each year. At the end of the project's life time, the cash flow is $-10000. The engineer who's evaluating this project disaggregate the cash flow by breaking it down to an annuity starting from year 0 to 10 with A = $10000 and the rest as a uniform gradient cash flow. The engineer analyzes the present worth of the project as P=A(P/A,i,a)(F/P,i,b)-G(P/G,i,c)(F/P,i,d). What should be the values for a, b, c, d, and G?

Answer 1

a=b=c=10

G = 800

Step-by-step explanation:

a,b,c show the time(number of years)

G is the amount of increase in cash flow each year.
