Problem 1

Implementing an e-commerce website has a projected net economic benefit of $ 40,000/year during the next five years. The recurring costs of this project are $ 10,000/year, and the initial cost of implementing the website is $ 60,000. Assuming that 10 percent is the estimated discount rate, do the following:

1. Calculate the net present value of these costs and benefits
2. Calculate the overall return on investment
3. Perform a break-even analysis and estimate when the actual break-even occurs
4. Generate a graphical representation in the case that the project breaks even
