Mark

Next >

A farmer invests $5,000 in sustainable practices that are expected to generate annual savings of $600 for 15 years. Using an annual discount rate of 5%, all of the following statements concerning a discounted cash flow analysis of this investment are correct EXCEPT:

A

The present value of the annual savings can be calculated using the formula PV=600∗1−(1.05)−150.05PV = 600*\frac{1-(1.05)^{-15}}{0.05}.

B

A net present value analysis can indicate whether the sustainable practices investment is financially viable.

C

Discounting accounts for the time value of money by reducing the worth of future savings relative to current dollars.

D

The total discounted savings will be greater than the nominal sum of $9000 because discounting increases the value of future cash flows.
