3.  NPV of Project X is $4239.20.  NPV of Project Z is -$553.32. 
Choose Project X.  Formula for the present value of a future sum is P
= F [1/(1+i) ^n].  So, convert each cash flow back to time zero and
then add them together for each project to find the NPV.

4.  (30%*8%) + (10%*12%) + (60%*15%) = 12.6%

5.a.  They earn $10 per chair.  Therefore, to cover their fixed costs,
they must sell 8000 chairs ($80,000/$10).

point, or 13,000 chairs total.
c.  They must sell 7000 shares to cover the fixed costs plus an
additional 500 chairs to clear $5,000, or 12,000 chairs total.

6.  The value of a perpetuity of one dollar per year is 1/r. 
Therefore, the value of each share will be $10/0 .1 or $100.  The
total value of the 500,000 shares will be $50 million.
