2. Herschel Industries is evaluating whether to invest in solar panels to provide some of the electrical needs of its main office building in Charlotte, North Carolina. The solar panel project would cost $725,000 and would provide cost savings in its utility bills of $35,000 per year. It is anticipated that the solar panels would have a life of 20 years and would have no residual value. Read the requirements? (Click the icon to view the present value factor table.) (Click the icon to view the present value annuity factor table.) (Click the icon to view the future value factor table.) (Click the Icon to view the future value annuity factor 4 table.) Requirement 1. Calculate the payback period in years of the solar panel project. Determine the formula, then calculate the payback period. (Round your answer to two decimal places.) (1) 1 (2) Payback period years Requirement 2. If the company uses a discount rate of 10%, what is the net present value of this project? (Round your answer to the nearest whole dollar. Use parentheses or a minus sign for a negative net present value.) The net present value of the project is Requirement 3. If the company has a rule that no projects will be undertaken that have a payback period of more than five years, would this investment be accepted? If not, what arguments could the energy manager make to try to obtain approval for the solar panel project? (3) because the payback period is (4) than five years. Select arguments the energy manager could make. (5) (6) Requirement 4. What would you do if you were in charge of approving capital investment proposals? (lf a box is not used in the table, leave the box empty; do not select a label.) (7) |(8) (9) 1: Requirements 1. Calculate the payback period in years of the solar panel project. 2.
