1. An airline is considering the purchase of an Airbus A-320neo which offers improved fuel efficiency over the previous generation of narrow-body aircraft. The finance department estimates the aircraft will generate a positive net cash flow of $6 million in the first year increasing by 5% annually owing to the aircraft's fuel efficiency. The airline plans to operate the aircraft for 15 years, then selling it in year 16 for an estimated net cash price of $30 million. The airline targets a return on invested capital of 12% annually (use this rate rather than the interest rate to discount future cash flows). What is the maximum price the airline should be willing to pay for a new A-320neo? Note: This computation is easiest to perform using MS Excel. The Excel computations may be copied and pasted into MS Word.
2. Complete the following table and answer the accompanying questions. Note: This computation is best completed in MS Excel. Copy and paste the resulting table into this Word document.
