Perform financial analysis for a project using the formats provided in Figure 4-4, Figure 4-5 and Figure 4-6. Assume the projected costs and benefits for this project are spread over four years as follows: Estimated costs are $180,000 in Year 0 and 50,000 each year in Years 1, 2, and 3. estimated benefits are $0 in Year 0 and $190,000 each year in Years 1, 2, and 3. Assume that costs and benefits are estimated at the beginning of the year. Use a 8.5 percent discount rate, and round the discount factors to two decimal places to do the following: 1) Calculate NPV using Excel NPV formula in a spreadsheet (similar to Fig 4-4). 2) Create a spreadsheet (similar to Fig 4-5) to calculate NPV, ROI, and payback period. 3) Show using a chart (similar to Fig 4-6) in which year the payback occurs. In addition, 4) write a paragraph explaining whether you would recommend investing in this project, based on your financial analysis. (Be sure to show all computations using formula - in Microsoft Excel) Figure 4-4.
