A firm considering the installation of an automatic data processing unit to handle some of its accounting operations. Machines for that purpose may be purchased for P20,000, or maybe leased for P8,000 for the first year and P1,000 less every year now and then until the end of the 4th year. If money is worth 15%, is it advisable to rent or buy the machine?

Solve the following three independent scenarios: A grocery store is considering the purchase of a new refrigeration unit with an initial investment of $412,000, and the store expects a return of $100,000 in year one, $72,000 in years two and three, $65,000 in years four and five, and $38,000 in year six and beyond, what is the payback period? 1. Payback period = ___________ years. Round your Payback Period (PB) answer to two decimal places (i.e. 12.34). An auto repair company needs a new machine that will check for defective sensors. The machine has an initial investment of $224,000. Incremental revenues, including cost savings, are $120,000, and incremental expenses, including depreciation, are $50,000. There is no salvage value. What is the accounting rate of return (ARR)? 2. Accounting Rate of Return (ARR) = ______________ Round your ARR answer, in percentage format, to two decimal places (i.e. 12.34%).
Wildcat Pizza, Inc. would like to open a new restaurant in Boston. The initial investment to purchase the building is $420,000, and an additional $50,000 in working capital is required. Since this store will be operating for many years, the working capital will not be returned in the near future. Wildcat expects to remodel the store at the end of 3 years at a cost of $100,000. Annual net cash receipts from daily operations (cash receipts minus cash payments) are expected to be as follows: Year 1 $80,000 Year 2 $115,000 Year 3 $118,000 Year 4 $140,000 Year 5 $155,000 Year 6 $167,000 Year 7 $175,000 The company’s required rate of return is 13 percent. Assume management decided to limit the analysis to 7 years. Find the net present value of this investment. Use trial and error to approximate the internal rate of return for this investment proposal. Based on your answer to requirements a and b, should Wildcat Pizza, open the new store? Explain. Calculate the payback…

Rose Apothecary is considering expanding its business to include a second store. David Rose, the CEO, believes that a marketing study would help to determine the overall demand for the store. Part A: Without the marketing study, the company estimates that there will be an up-front cost of $100,000 to get the new store up and running. The expectation is that there is a 50% chance that the store will generate annual cash flows of $48,000 per year for the subsequent four years and a 50% chance that the store will generate annual cash flows of $22,000 per year for the subsequent four years. What is the NPV of the store expansion project, assuming a 15% cost of capital?
A supermarket is planning on piloting a self-checkout system in one of its stores. It estimates that this requires an investment of about $50,000 to modify existing checkout lanes into self-checkout lanes. It also estimates that it will save $200,000 yearly in employee salaries by automating the checkout process. If the supermarket's MARR is at 10% per year compounded annually, determine the Conventional- payback period (in years) for this pilot.
Wei-Ping's consulting firm needs new quarters. A downtown office building is ideal. The company can either buy or lease it. To buy the office building will cost $6 000 000. If the building is leased, the lease fee is $400 000 payable at the beginning of each year. In either case, the company must pay city taxes, maintenance, and utilities. Wei-Ping figures that the company needs the office space for only 15 years. Therefore, it will either sign a 15-year lease or buy the building. If it buys the building, it will then sell the building after 15 years. The value of the building at that time is estimated to be $15 000 000. What rate of return will Wei-Ping's firm receive by buying the office building instead of leasing it?
