PART B
Use the following cash flow information to perform a financial analysis to determine if a new Information Systems project should be implemented. The duration of the projected cost and the retunes from the project are distributed over a five-year period. The estimated cost for the project is $245,000 paid in Year 0 with addition maintenance cost of $25500 for each of the following years. An estimated return of $105,000 is expected for each year beyond Year 0. The design, development, and implementation of the System will take the entire first year with a projected discount rate of 7.5%.
Calculate the NPV and the ROI using Microsoft Excel and indicate if the Information System should be implemented.
Create a chart to indicate the breakeven point for the cash flows. Place the chart on its own Chart Sheet and label the axes appropriately.
