Calculate the AE given a project with an outlay of -2000 and cash flows of 1500 per year for 4 years. The discount rate is 0.11. The rate is given as a decimal (eg .12 is 12%). Answer to the nearest dollar. Do not enter the dollar sign.
How can I get the calculation for this, kindly please explain?
Solution: Calculation of the Annual equivalent value:
Cost of the Project = $2000
Cash flows for 4 years = $1500
Calculation of Net Present Value at 11% Discounting Rate

Net Present Value |

Therefore, Annual equivalent value = Net Present Value / Annuity Factor
Annuity Factor = (1 - (1/(1.11)^4) / 0.11
= 3.10245
Annual equivalent value = 2653.67 / 3.10245
= $855.34
Therefore, Annual equivalent value of the Project is $855.34
