Gina Ripley, president of Dearing Company, is considering the purchase of a computer-aided manufacturing system.The annual net cash benefits and savings associated with the system are described as follows:Decreased wasteIncreased qualityDecrease in operating costsIncrease in on-time deliveries$300,000400,000600,000200,000The system will cost $9,000,000 and last 10 years. The company's cost of capital is 12 percent.Required:1. Calculate the payback period for the system. Assume that the company has a policy of only accepting projectswith a payback of five years or less. Would the system be acquired?2. Calculate the NPV and IRR for the project. Should the system be purchased-even if it does not meet thepayback criterion?3. The project manager reviewed the projected cash flows and pointed out that two items had been missed.First, the system would have a salvage value, net of any tax effects, of $1,000,000 at the end of 10 years. Second,the increased quality and delivery performance would allow the company to increase its market share by 20percent. This would produce an additional annual net benefit of $300,000. Recalculate the payback period, NPV,and IRR given this new information. (For the IRR computation, initially ignore salvage value.) Does the decisionchange? Suppose that the salvage value is only half what is projected. Does this make a difference in theoutcome? Does salvage value have any real bearing on the company's decision?

Calculate the net present value (NPV) and internal rate of return (IRR) for the given project, and…

A regional municipality is studying a water supply plan for its tri-city and surrounding area to the end of year 2080. To satisfy the water demand, one suggestion is to construct a pipeline from a major lake some distance away. Construction would start in 2030 and take five years at a cost of $25 million per year. The cost of maintenance and repairs starts after completion of construction and for the first year is $3 million, increasing by 2 percent per year thereafter. At an interest rate of 6 percent, what is the present worth of this project? Assume all cash flows take place at year-end. Consider the present to be the end of 2025/beginning of 2026. Assume there is no salvage value at the end of year 2080.
Solo Corporation is evaluating a project with the following cash flows: Year 0,1, 2, 3, 4, 5 Cash Flow $ -29,600;  11,800;  14,500 ; 16,400;  13,500 and -10,000. The company uses an interest rate of 10 percent on all of its projects. Calculate the MIRR of the project using all three methods. a. MIRR using the discounting approach. b. MIRR using the reinvestment approach. c. MIRR using the combination approach.
A regional municipality is studying a water supply plan for its tri-city and surrounding area to the end of year 2070. To satisfy the water demand, one suggestion is to construct a pipeline from a major lake some distance away. Construction would start in 2030 and take five years at a cost of $25 million per year. The cost of maintenance and repairs starts after completion of construction and for the first year is $3 million, increasing by 1 percent per year thereafter. At an interest rate of 9 percent, what is the present worth of this project? Assume all cash flows take place at year-end. Consider the present to be the end of 2025/beginning of 2026. Assume there is no salvage value at the end of year 2070. Click the icon to view the table of compound interest factors for discrete compounding periods when i = 9%.

63. Reconsider the data from Problem 62. a. Plot a graph of FW versus MARR, where MARR varies from 0 percent to 50 percent by 1 percent increments. FW should be on the y-axis and MARR on the x-axis. b. Explain the significance of the y-axis intercept. c. Explain the significance of the x-axis intercept.
Appledale Dairy is considering upgrading an old ice-cream maker. Moderate upgrading costs $7050 now and yields annual savings of $4800 in the first year, and decreases by $300 dollars every year after that. If the upgraded ice-cream maker will last for seven years, what is the present worth of the upgrading option? Use a present worth comparison. Appledale's MARR is 9 percent.
