Answer 1

1) solution to que no 1 : option B (1.507)

Justification

Cashinflow 3140 per yr * Pvf 8%, 4yrs(3.3121) =10400

Cashoutflow given 10400

Therefore present value index = pv cashinflow  

Pv cashoutflow

10400/6900 = 1.507

Solution to que no 2 : option c) 1.02

Cash outflow investment A is (16750)

Cashinflow for 4 yrs

5630* pvf 10% fr 3yrs(2.4869) + 4560*pvf yr 4th yr 0.6830 =17115.164

Therfore present value index = pv cash inflow/pv cash outflow

= 17115.164/16750

= 1.02(option c)

Solution to que no 3 : option b) 43,925.23

Future value = present value * (1+r)n

47000= pv*(1+.07) 1yr

Present value= 47000/1.07

Present value= 43925.23(option b)

Solution to que no 4 : option c) 29842$

cash inflow fr 3yrs 12000 pa * pvf 10% fr 3yrs(2.4869) = 29842$(option c)
