Computing Capltal Budgeting Methods

Laurman, Inc. Is considering a new project and has provided the detalls of the project. The Controller has asked you to compute varlous capital budgeting methods to help ald in the decision to pursue the Investment.

Here are some tips for using Excel:

$-$ Cell Reference: Allows you to refer to data from another cell in the worksheet. If you entered $"=$B$5"$ into a blank cell, the formula would output the value from cell B$5.$

$-$ Basic Math Functions: Allow you to use the basic math symbols to perform mathematical functions. You can use the following keys: $+($plus sign to add$),-($minus sign to subtract$),*($asterisk sign to multiply$),$ and $/($forward slash to divide$).$ For example, If you entered $"=$B$4+$B$5"$ in a blank cell, the formula would add the values from those cells and output the result.

$-\backslash (\backslash$quad $\backslash )$ SUM Function: Allows you to refer to multiple cells and adds all the values. You can add Individual cell references or ranges. If you entered $"\backslash (=$S U M$($C $4,$ C $5,$ C $6)^\{"\}\backslash )$ Into a blank cell, the formula would output the result of adding those three separate cells. Similarly, If you entered $"=$SUM$($C$4$:C$6)",$ the formula would output the same result of adding those cells.

$-$ RATE Function: Allows you to return the interest rate per perlod. The syntax of the RATE function is $"=$RATE$($nper$,$pmt$,$pv$,[$fJ$],[$type$],[$guess$)"$ the result is the percentage interest rate value for the related inputs. The nper argument is the total number of payment perlods. The pmt argument is the payment made each perlod that does not change over the life of the investment and this argument must be included if the $[$fv$]$ argument is not included. The $\backslash ($ p v $\backslash )$ argument is the present value, or the total amount that serles of future payments is worth now. The $[$fV$]$ argument is the future value, or the cash basis to attain after the last payment is made and this argument must be included if the pmt argument is omitted. The $[$type$]$ argument is a logical value of $0$ or $1,$ which indicates when the payments are due where $1$ is the payment at the beginning of the perlod and $0,$ is the payment at the end of the perlod. Both the $[$fV$]$ and $[$type$]$values are optional arguments to have the formula work, which is why they are surrounded by brackets in the syntax, however, these values would not be entered with brackets in the actual function. The $[$guess$]$ argument is also optional and is your guess for what the rate will be$,$ however, If omitted the system assumes a guess of $10$ percent. For this assignment, please include both the $[$pmt$]$and $[$fv$]$ arguments, but leave out the $[$type$]$and $[$guess$]$arguments from the function. Also, the $\backslash ($ p v $\backslash )$ argument should be entered as negative value.

$-$ PV Function: Allows you to perform a present$-$value calculation.The syntax of the PV function is $"=$PV$($rate$,$nper,pmt$,[$fV$],[$type$)"$ and its output is the total amount that a serles of future payments is worth now $($also known as the present value$).$ The rate argument is the interest rate per perlod.

The nper argument is the total number of payment perlods. The pmt argument is the payment made each perlod that does not change over the life of the investment, and this argument must be included if the $[$fv$]$ argument is not included. The $[$fV$]$ argument is the future value, or the cash basis to attain after the last payment is made; this argument must be included if the pmt argument is omitted.

The $[$type$]$ argument is a logical value of $0$ or $1,$ which Indicates when the payments are due, where $1$ is the payment at the beginning of the perlod and $0$ is the payment at the end of the perlod. Both the $[$fV$]$ and $[$type$]$ values are optional arguments to Include, which is why they are surrounded by brackets In the syntax. However, these values would not be entered with brackets in the actual function.
