Draw a 5-year cash flow diagram representing the following cash flows to build springs: (Chapter 2) Initial investment in plant and equipment $50K Answer: Annual maintenance: $3K after year 1 and increasing $1K per year after that Answer: Annual production costs – $10K/year Answer: Annual revenue - $25K/year Answer:
Garcìa Co. can invest in one of two alternative projects. Project Y requires a $360,000 initial investment for new machinery with a four-year life and no salvage value. Project Z requires a $360,000 initial investment for new machinery with a three-year life and no salvage value. The two projects yield the following annual results. Cash flows occur evenly within each year. Required 1. Compute each project's annual net cash flows. 2. Compute each project's payback period. If the company bases investment decisions solely on payback period, which project will it choose? 3. Compute each project's accounting rate of return. If the company bases investment decisions solely on accounting rate of return, which project will it choose? 4. Compute each project's net present value using 8% as the discount rate. If the company bases investment decisions solely on net present value, which project will it choose?
