3. Suppose a project under consideration has the following stream of benefits and costs. Year O Costs $10,000 Benefits 4 S5,000 $2,000S4,000 S6,000 $8,000 S10,000 $2,000 (a) Find the net present value of the project assuming a discount rate of 5%. Is the project worthwhile? (b) Suppose you have discovered that the benefits of the project have been overestimated and a more accurate assessment suggests that the benefit in each year is half of the original estimate.

1. Suppose MSU has an opportunity to build a solar facility just outside of Ann Arbor that would generate about 120,000 MWh per year (1 MWh = 1000 KWh), and cost $25 million to install. To determine if this is a good deal for the university, you need to analyze the economics. Assume the market price for electricity over the next five years is $48 per MWh and there is a 5-year project horizon. Evaluate this decision using a 3%...
