Question: Please complete the Monte Carlo Simulation for 250 outcomes for NPV and complete all the tables below. Please show all formulas used. Thanks

Monte Carlo Simulation SV 25000 Given: MARR: .12 Initial Cost: $105,000 Salvage Value: Normal Distribution (mean = $1,500; standard deviation = $300) Project Life: 6, 7, or 8 years (equally likely) Annual Benefit Optimistic: $30,000 with probability of 0.25 Most Likely: $25,000 with probability of 0.60 Pessimistic: $20,000 with probability of 0.15 Suggested NPV formula: "=PV( ... )+initial cost" 1. Perform a Monte Carlo simulation generating 250 outcomes for NPV. In each of the 250 experiments, randomly draw values for Project Life, Salvage Value, and Annual Benefit from their probability distributions. The random number generators are dynamic, i.e., they recalculate when a change is made to the worksheet. Preserve the numbers generated in your simulation by copying (and freezing) the values in the adjoining columns. (1) Highlight the cells containing the 300 simulations; (2) Move the cursor to the "upper left" cell of the area where the specific values are to be pasted (and frozen); (3) choose "Copy" and "Paste Special"; and (4) select "Values". 2.
