Answer:

The company will require inflows of 80,612 per year to achieve their minimun return of 8%

If this return increase to 11% then, the cash inflow will need to be in the order of 95,955.02

Explanation:

We will calcualte the minimun cash flow at the request rate by treating the upfront cost as the present value of an ordinary annuity.

(A)

[tex]PV \div \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = C\\[/tex]

PV  $690,000.00

time   15 years

rate 0.08 = 8%

[tex]69,0000 \div \frac{1-(1+0.08)^{-15} }{0.08} = C\\[/tex]

C $ 80,612.39

PV  $690,000.00

time 15 years

rate 0.11 = 11%

[tex]690000 \div \frac{1-(1+0.11)^{-15} }{0.11} = C\\[/tex]

C $ 95,955.02
