    Explanation:

    Giving the following information:

    Projects:

    A

    Io = - $ 800,000

    Perpetual cash = $ 90,000

    B

    Io = 100,000

    Perpetual cash flow = 20,000

    C

    Io = 300,000

    Perpetual CF = 25,000

    D

    Io = 400,000

    Perpetual CF = 60,000

    To find the present value of a perpetual annuity we need to use the following information:

    PV = cash flow/i

    A) i = 0.16

    A = - 800000 + (90000/0.16) = - 237,500

    B = - 100000 + (20000/0.16) = 25,000

    C = - 300000 + (25000/0.16) = - 143,750

    D = - 400000 + (60000/0.16) = - 25000

    Only project B is pursuable.

    B) i=10%

    A = 100,000

    B = 100,000

    C = - 50,000

    D = 200,000

    Only project C is not pursuable. Project D has the greatest net present value.

    C) With i=16% only project B should be pursued. With i=10%, project D is the best.
