Method 1: the final compound interest value: Fv (6) = PV * fvif (12%, 6) =100000 *1.974 =197400.
Final investment value: FVA (5) = A * FVIFA (12%, 5) = 24000 * 6.353 = 152472.
It can be concluded that this project is uneconomical.
Method 2: Present value of annual profit deferred annuity:
V=A*PVIFA( 12%,5)*PVIF( 12%, 1)= 77262.32 & lt; 100000
So the project is not cost-effective.
