The above analysis is the possible and expected cashflows from the investment of RO150000
into two real estate and one SME’s.

3.3 Analysis

Part 2- Feasibility Analysis

3.3.1 Investment in Real Estate and SME

The investment in Villa is projected to pay off in 9 years and 1 month. The Apartment, on the
other hand, is anticipated to be open in 5.3 years (5 years and 3 months). The Salon, on the other
hand, has a 7-year expectation. Furthermore, given the possibility of a reduced payback time.

Projects P.B. P D.P.B. P

Project 1: Villa 8.1 10.5
Project 2: Apartment 5.0 6.0
Project 3: Salon 7.5 8.5

As indicated by the above table, acknowledge project 2 is better since, supposing that it is not
exactly the breaking point acknowledged and in the event that it is more than the cutoff
dismissed. what's more, the speculation ought to be at the very least 5 years. every one of the 3
activities are over 5 years however the task 2 is the most reduced year. indeed, even with thought
of D.P.B. P acknowledge the venture 2. then, at that point, the undertaking 3 is gone to the
subsequent option since it is not as much as task 1, its 8.5. Lastly reject project 1 team to the
significant stretch. beneath there is a diagram present all the data.

3.3.2 Accounting Rate of Return

The productivity of the activities is checked by ARR Method. As the outcome shows that Project
2 accomplishes the most elevated level of benefit, assessed at about 40%.

3.3 Net Present Value

Using the NPV approach, it will analyze the cash inflow to see if it has a positive or negative
value before deciding whether to approve or reject the project.

To represent that all undertakings have a positive worth of money inflows (+). Thus, if the net
present worth is positive acknowledge the undertaking and on the off chance that it is negative
oddball it. for this situation we can acknowledge every one of the three tasks as per the
outcomes. Task 1 show most elevated money inflows, it is around 3995.1634. though project 3 is
the most reduced.
