The is investment opportunity will have a five-year useful life, will cost $15,169.64, and will generate expected cash inflows of $3,900 per year. The second investment is expected to have a useful life of four years, will cost $10,073.45, and will generate expected cash inflows of $3,600 per year. Assume that V&K has the funds available to accept only one of the opportunities. (PV of $1 and PVA of $1) (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided.) Required a. Calculate the internal rate of return of each investment opportunity. (Do not round intermediate calculations.) b. Based on the internal rates of return, which opportunity should V&K select? Internal Rate of Return % a. First investment % Second investment ..... b. V&K should select the second investment

John and Sally Claussen are considering the purchase of a hardware store from John Duggan. The Claussens anticipate that the store will generate cash flows of $81,000 per year for 20 years. At the end of 20 years, they intend to sell the store for an estimated $510,000. The Claussens will finance the investment with a variable rate mortgage. Interest rates will increase twice during the 20-year life of the mortgage. Accordingly, the Claussens’ desired rate of return on this investment varies as follows: (FV of $1, PV of $1, FVA of $1, PVA of $1, FVAD of $1 and PVAD of $1) (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided.) Years 1–5 7 % Years 6–10 9 % Years 11–20 11 % Required: PV of $81,000 cash flow PV of $510,000 selling price Maximum paid for store Years 1-5 ? Years 6-10 ? Years 11-20 ? Year 20 ? ? Total ? + ? = ? What is the maximum amount the Claussens should pay John Duggan for the hardware…

Jamie and Raquel are both considering investing in a project with the following cash flows. Jamie requires a 9% return. Raquel requires a return of 16%. They can both invest, only one or neither invest in the project. If they both invest, they will share the cash flows equally and each invest half the money. Who, if either, should invest in this project?

Rundle Company is considering investing in two new vans that are expected to generate combined cash inflows of $34,000 per year. The vans' combined purchase price is $93,000. The expected life and salvage value of each are seven years and $21,700, respectively. Rundle has an average cost of capital of 16 percent. (PV of $1 and PVA of $1) Note: Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided. Required a. Calculate the net present value of the investment opportunity. Note: Negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign. Round your intermediate calculations and final answer to 2 decimal places. b. Indicate whether the investment opportunity is expected to earn a return that is above or below the cost of capital and whether it should be accepted. a. Net present value b. Will the return be above or below the cost of capital? b. Should the investment opportunity be accepted?
Blossom Company is considering two different, mutually exclusive capital expenditure proposals. Project A will cost $450,000, has an expected useful life of 11 years, a salvage value of zero, and is expected to increase net annual cash flows by $73,500. Project B will cost $298,000, has an expected useful life of 11 years, a salvage value of zero, and is expected to increase net annual cash flows by $50,200. A discount rate of 9% is appropriate for both projects. Click here to view PV table. Compute the net present value and profitability index of each project. (If the net present value is negative, use either a negative sign preceding the number eg -45 or parentheses eg (45). Round present value answers to O decimal places, e.g. 125 and profitability index answers to 2 decimal places, e.g. 15.25. For calculation purposes, use 5 decimal places as displayed in the factor table provided.) Net present value - Project A Profitability index - Project A Net present value - Project B…
Jonczyk Company is considering two different, mutually exclusive capital expenditure proposals. Project A will cost $461,000, has an expected useful life of 11 years and a salvage value of zero, and is expected to increase net annual cash flows by $72,000. Project B will cost $271,000, has an expected useful life of 11 years and a salvage value of zero, and is expected to increase net annual cash flows by $45,000.

Frank Zanca is considering three different investments that his broker has offered to him. The different cash flows are as follows: End of Year A 1 $300 B C $400 2 $300 3 $300 4 $300 $300 $600 5 $300 6 $300 $300 $300 $600 7 8 Because Frank only has enough savings for one investment, his broker has proposed alternative C to be, according to his expertise, "the best in town." However, Frank questions his broker. Calculate the present value of each investment, assuming a 15% discount rate. Which is Frank's best alternative? Select one: a. Investment A O b. Investment B c. Investment C O d. He should not invest in any of the suggested investments O e. All of the investments are equally good
