Question

Crane Corporation has decided to invest in renewable energy sources to meet part of its energy needs for production. It is considering solar power versus wind power. After considering cost savings as well as incremental revenues from selling excess electricity into the power grid, it has determined the following. Solar Wind Present value of annual cash flows $55,695 $135,255 Initial investment $39,500 $106,500 Determine the net present value and profitability index of each project. (If the net present value is negative, use either a negative sign preceding the number eg -45 or parentheses eg (45). Round present value answers to 0 decimal places, e.g. 125 and profitability index answers to 2 decimal places, e.g. 15.25.) Net present value Profitability index Solar $ Wind $

The Bruce Company is considering investing in a wind turbine to generate its own power. Any unused power will be sold back to the local utility company. Between cost savings and new revenues, the company expects to generate $750,000 per year in net cash inflows from the turbine. The turbine would cost $4 million and is expected to have a 20-year useful life with no residual value. Calculate the accounting rate of return (ARR). First enter the formula, then calculate the accounting rate of return (ARR). (Enter amounts in the formula as whole dollars and not in millions. Enter the ARR as a percentage rounded to two decimal places, X.XX%.) Average annual net cash inflow / Initial investment = Accounting rate of return (ARR)

A household installs a 2 kW wind turbine for a total installed cost of $9000. At the end of its 20-year life, it is expected to have a salvage value of 10% of the capital cost. After 10 years, the wind turbine requires an overhaul, costing $1200. The wind turbine has a capacity factor of 28%. The value of the electricity saved is $0.23/kWh. What is the internal rate of return of this project? (Answer to the first decimal place in %, no % sign) (Tip: write the PW and tabulate versus discount rate, determine the discount rate that gives the PW=0)

00:01 Hi to everyone, in this case for calculating the account rate of return, the formula is average annual net cash inflow by initial investment into 100.
00:29 So now here in this case, we will put the value given.
00:33 So, here the average annual net cash flow is 750000 by 4400000 into 100...
