Bob Jensen Inc. purchased a $580,000 machine to manufacture specialty taps for electrical equipment. Jensen expects to sell all it can manufacture in the next 10 years. The machine is expected to have a 10-year useful life with no salvage value. Jensen uses straight-line depreciation. Jensen uses a 10% discount rate in evaluating capital investments, the investment is subject to taxes, and the projected pretax operating cash inflows are as follows:   Year     Pretax Cash Inflow   1   $ 58,000   2     71,000   3     107,000   4     178,000   5     214,000   6     268,000   7     241,000   8     214,000   9     107,000   10     71,000               Jensen has been paying 25% for combined federal, state, and local income taxes, a rate that is not expected to change during the period of this investment. The firm uses straight-line depreciation. Assume, for simplicity, that MACRS depreciation rules do not apply.   Required: Using Excel, compute the following for the proposed investment: 1. The payback period, under the assumption that the cash inflows occur evenly throughout the year. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your final answer to 1 decimal place.) 2. The accounting (book) rate of return based on (a) initial investment, and (b) average investment. (Round your final answers to 1 decimal place.) 3. The net present value (NPV). (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your final answer to nearest whole dollar amount.)
