Net present value method, internal rate of return method, and analysis for a service company The management of Advanced Alternative Power Inc. is considering two capital investment projects. The estimated net cash flows from each project are as follows: The wind turbines require an investment of 887,600, while the biofuel equipment requires an investment of 911,100. No residual value is expected from either project. Instructions 1. Compute the following for each project: A. The net present value. Use a rate of 6% and the present value of an annuity table appearing in Exhibit 5 of this chapter. B. A present value index. (Round to two decimal places.) 2. Determine the internal rate of return for each project by (A) computing a present value factor for an annuity of 1 and (B) using the present value of an annuity of 1 table appearing in Exhibit 5 of this chapter. 3. What advantage does the internal rate of return method have over the net present value method in comparing projects?
Fenton, Inc., has established a new strategic plan that calls for new capital investment. The company has a 9.8% required rate of return and an 8.3% cost of capital. Fenton currently has a return of 10% on its other investments. The proposed new investments have equal annual cash inflows expected. Management used a screening procedure of calculating a payback period for potential investments and annual cash flows, and the IRR for the 7 possible investments are displayed in image. Each investment has a 6-year expected useful life and no salvage value. A. Identify which project(s) is/are unacceptable and briefly state the conceptual justification as to why each of your choices is unacceptable. B. Assume Fenton has $330,000 available to spend. Which remaining projects should Fenton invest in and in what order? C. If Fenton was not limited to a spending amount, should they invest in all of the projects given the company is evaluated using return on investment?
Cash payback period for a service company Janes Clothing Inc. is evaluating two capital investment proposals for a retail outlet, each requiring an investment of 975,000 and each with a seven-year life and expected total net cash flows of 1,050,000. Location 1 is expected to provide equal annual net cash flows of 150,000, and Location 2 is expected to have the following unequal annual net cash flows: Determine the cash payback period for both location proposals.
Net present value method, present value index, and analysis for a service company First United Bank Inc. is evaluating three capital investment projects by using the net present value method. Relevant data related to the projects are summarized as follows: Instructions 1. Assuming that the desired rate of return is 15%, prepare a net present value analysis for each project. Use the present value table appearing in Exhibit 2 of this chapter. 2. Determine a present value index for each project. (Round to two decimal places.) 3. Which project offers the largest amount of present value per dollar of investment? Explain.
