Question

A project with an initial investment of $438,500 will generate equal annual cash flows over its 9-year life. The project has a required return of 8 percent. What is the minimum annual cash flow required to accept the project

Answer 1

$70 194.95

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the minimal annual cash flow needed for accepting the project is shown below:

As we know that

Present value of annuity = Annuity × [1 - (1 + interest rate)^ - time period] ÷ rate

$438,500 = Annuity × [1 - (1.08)^ - 9] ÷ 0.08

$438,500 = Annuity × 6.246887911

So,

Annuity = $438,500 ÷ 6.246887911

= $70 194.95
