Explanation / Answer

(1)

Future value of investment ($) = 1,500,000 x F/P(15%, 12) = 1,500,000 x 5.3503** = 8,025,450

**F/P(r%, N) = (1 + r)N

(2)

Current spending ($) = 20,500 x P/A(12%, 8) = 20,500 x 4.9676** = 101,835.8

**From P/A factor table

(3)

Net annual benefit ($) = Revenue - Cost = 200,000 - 90,000 = 110,000

Future worth ($) = 110,000 x F/A(8%, 8) = 110,000 x 10.6366** = 1,170,026

**From F/A factor table

(4)

Current investment ($) = 25,000 x P/A(11.5%, 10) = 25,000 x 5.7678** = 144,195

**P/A(r%, N) = [1 - (1 + r)-N] / r

P/A(11.5%, 10) = [1 - (1.115)-10] / 0.115 = (1 - 0.3367) / 0.115 = 0.6633 / 0.115 = 5.7678
