Kwame, after his National Service and with no hope of securing a job in the formal sector, has decided to run a taxi service. The following forecast has been made for the operation of a service between Abisim and Sunyani:

  2. Tyres: four pieces for a year at GH¢120 per unit.
  3. Maintenance and servicing: GH¢120 per month.
  4. Salaries: GH¢3,000 per year.
  5. Insurance: GH¢350 per year.

The net cash flow will increase at 5% per annum for the next five years due to inflation. The cost of the vehicle is estimated at GH¢28,000. The project appears quite profitable based on the NPV criteria using the Government policy rate of 26%. However, the banks are offering rates far higher than the policy rate.
