The company's capital rationing policy requires a maximum cash payback period of 3 years. In addition, a minimum average rate of return of 10% is required on all projects. If the preceding standards are met, the net present value method and present value indexes are used to rank the remaining proposals.

Proposal Average Rate of Return
Proposal A fill in the blank 5 %
Proposal B fill in the blank 6 %
Proposal C fill in the blank 7 %
Proposal D fill in the blank 8 %

 

3.  Using the following format, summarize the results of your computations in parts (1) and (2) by placing the calculated amounts in the first two columns on the left and indicate which proposals should be accepted for further analysis and which should be rejected. If required, round your answers to one decimal place.

Proposal Cash Payback Period Average Rate of Return Accept or Reject
A
 
fill in the blank 10 %
 
B

C
 
fill in the blank 16 %
 
D
 
fill in the blank 19 %
 

 

4.  For the proposals accepted for further analysis in part (3), compute the net present value. Use a rate of 15% and the present value of $1 table above. Round to the nearest dollar.

Line Item Description Answer Answer
Select the proposal accepted for further analysis.
 
 
Present value of net cash flow total $fill in the blank 23 $fill in the blank 24
Less amount to be invested fill in the blank 25 fill in the blank 26
Net present value $fill in the blank 27 $fill in the blank 28

 

5.  Compute the present value index for each of the proposals in part (4). If required, round your answers to two decimal places.

Line Item Description Answer Answer
Select proposal to compute Present value index.
 
 
Present value index (rounded) fill in the blank 31 fill in the blank 32
