= $54,145
Discount rate = 6%
Cost of Van A = $70,000
Useful life (in years) = 3
Operating cost per annum = $7,000
Present value factor for 3 years at 6% = 2.6730
Annual Equivalent cost for Van A = (70000 / 2.6730) + 7000
= $33,188
Cost of Van B = $90,000
Useful life (in years) = 4
Operating cost per annum = $9,000
Present value factor for 4 years at 6% = 3.4651
Annual Equivalent cost for Van B = 90000 / 3.4651 + 9000
= $34,973
Van A should be selected as annual equivalent cost for Van A is less than annual equivalent cost for Van B.

Suppose the monthly pension amount be M.
(M / 0.40%)(1 – (1 + 0.40%)^(-288)) = $1,604,516
M (170.8172) = $1,604,516
M = 1604516 / 170.8172
M = $9,393
Monthly pension Joan will receive is $9,393.
Interest rate per annum compounding monthly = 4.50%
Monthly interest rate (4.50% / 12) = 0.375%
Effective annual interest rate = (1 + 0.375%)^12 – 1
= 4.594%

M (179.9103) = $750,000

M = $4,169
Amount of monthly repayment is $4,169.

Future value of repayment of $3000 per month = (3000 / 0.375%)((1 + 0.375%)^(12) – 1)
= $36,751.86
Loan pending at the end of year 1 = 750000 (1 + 0.375%)^12 – 36,751.86
= $747,703.01
Future value of repayment of $3500 per month = (3500 / 0.375%)((1 + 0.375%)^(12) – 1)
= $42,877.17
Loan pending at the end of year 2 = 747703.01 (1 + 0.375%)^12 – 42877.17
= $739,175.19
Suppose month instalment size be M after two years.
(M / 0.375%)(1 – (1 + 0.375%)^(-23M12)) = $739,175.19
M (171.756) = $739,175.19
M = 739175.19 / 171.756
Z = $4,303.64
M is $4303.64 per month.
Monthly repayment = $4,400
Suppose loan is repaid in n months.
$750,000 = (4400 / 0.375%) (1 – (1 + 0.375%)^(-n))
$750,000 = (1173333.33) (1 – (1 + 0.375%)^(-n))
750000 / (1173333.33) = (1 – (1 + 0.375%)^(-n))
0.6392 = (1 – (1 + 0.375%)^(-n))
(1 + 0.375%)^(-n) = 1 – 0.6392
(1.00375)^(-n) = 0.3608
Taking log on both sides
(-n) log 1.00375 = log 0.3608
(-n) 0.00162555828 = -0.442733471
(n) 0.00162555828 = 0.442733471
n = 0.44273347113 / 0.00162555828
n = 272.3577964
n = 272.36
Total months taken for loan repayment is 273 months (22 years 9 months).

The main objective of any organization is to maximize shareholders’ wealth.
Payback period – As per payback period criteria, Project Q should be selected as Project Q has lower payback period.
NPV (Net Present Value) – As per NPV criteria – Project P should be selected as Project P has higher NPV.
PI (Profitability Index) – As per Profitability Index criteria – Project P should be select as Project P has higher PI.
IRR (Internal Rate of Return) – As per IRR criteria, Project Q should be selected as Project Q has higher IRR.
NPV is preferred over payback period because:
- Payback period ignores time value of money and cash flows occurring after payback period.
- It ignores time value of money.
NPV will be preferred over the payback period and IRR because assumption of IRR that returns will be reinvestment at the rate equal to IRR is not true in real world.
Generally NPV and PI both give same results.
Due to above reasons, we accept the recommendation of NPV and project P should be selected.
