Introduction:
Internal Rate of Return is a measure used in the capital budgeting which estimates the profitability of potential investments. IRR is computed as a discount rate that makes the net present value of all cash flows from an investment as zero.

- There are two projects under consideration by the Rainbow factory. Each of the projects will require an initial investment of $35,000 and is expected to generate the following cash flows: Use the information from the previous exercise to calculate the internal rate of return on both projects and make a recommendation on which one to accept. For further instructions on internal rate of return in Excel, see Appendix C.arrow_forwardYour company is planning to purchase a new log splitter for is lawn and garden business. The new splitter has an initial investment of $180,000. It is expected to generate $25,000 of annual cash flows, provide incremental cash revenues of $150,000, and incur incremental cash expenses of $100,000 annually. What is the payback period and accounting rate of return (ARR)?arrow_forwardStaten Corporation is considering two mutually exclusive projects. Both require an initial outlay of 150,000 and will operate for five years. The cash flows associated with these projects are as follows: Statens required rate of return is 10%. Using the net present value method and the present value table provided in Appendix A, which of the following actions would you recommend to Staten? a. Accept Project X and reject Project Y. b. Accept Project Y and reject Project X. c. Accept Projects X and Y. d. Reject Projects X and Y.arrow_forward
- 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?arrow_forwardManzer Enterprises is considering two independent investments: A new automated materials handling system that costs 900,000 and will produce net cash inflows of 300,000 at the end of each year for the next four years. A computer-aided manufacturing system that costs 775,000 and will produce labor savings of 400,000 and 500,000 at the end of the first year and second year, respectively. Manzer has a cost of capital of 8 percent. Required: 1. Calculate the IRR for the first investment and determine if it is acceptable or not. 2. Calculate the IRR of the second investment and comment on its acceptability. Use 12 percent as the first guess. 3. What if the cash flows for the first investment are 250,000 instead of 300,000?arrow_forwardJasmine Manufacturing is considering a project that will require an initial investment of $52,000 and is expected to generate future cash flows of $10,000 for years 1 through 3, $8,000 for years 4 and 5, and $2,000 for years 6 through 10. What is the payback period for this project?arrow_forward
- Average rate of return method, net present value method, and analysis for a service company The capital investment committee of Arches Landscaping Company is considering two capital investments. The estimated operating income and net cash flows from each investment are as follows: Each project requires an investment of 75,000. Straight-line depreciation will be used, and no residual value is expected. The committee has selected a rate of 12% for purposes of the net present value analysis. Instructions 1. Compute the following: A. The average rate of return for each investment. B. The net present value for each investment. Use the present value table appearing in Exhibit 2 of this chapter. (Round present values to the nearest dollar.) 2. Prepare a brief report for the capital investment committee, advising it on the relative merits of the two investments.arrow_forwardCapital rationing decision for a service company involving four proposals Renaissance Capital Group is considering allocating a limited amount of capital investment funds among four proposals. The amount of proposed investment, estimated operating income, and net cash flow for each proposal are as follows: The companys capital rationing policy requires a maximum cash payback period of three years. In addition, a minimum average rate of return of 12% 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. Instructions 1. Compute the cash payback period for each of the four proposals. 2. Giving effect to straight-line depreciation on the investments and assuming no estimated residual value, compute the average rate of return for each of the four proposals. (Round to one decimal place.) 3. Using the following format, summarize the results of your computations in parts (1) and (2). By placing the computed amounts in the first two columns on the left and by placing a check mark in the appropriate column to the right, indicate which proposals should be accepted for further analysis and which should be rejected. 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 table appearing in Exhibit 2 of this chapter. 5. Compute the present value index for each of the proposals in part (4). Round to two decimal places. 6. Rank the proposals from most attractive to least attractive, based on the present values of net cash flows computed in part (4). 7. Rank the proposals from most attractive to least attractive, based on the present value indexes computed in part (5). 8. Based on the analyses, comment on the relative attractiveness of the proposals ranked in parts (6) and (7).arrow_forwardProject B cost $5,000 and will generate after-tax net cash inflows of $500 in year one, $1,200 in year two, $2,000 in year three. $2,500 in year four, and $2,000 in year five. What is the NPV using 8% as the discount rate? For further instructions on net present value in Excel, see Appendix C.arrow_forward
- There are two projects under consideration by the Rainbow factory. Each of the projects will require an initial investment of $35,000 and is expected to generate the following cash flows: If the discount rate is 12%, compute the NPV of each project.arrow_forwardThe Pinkerton Publishing Company is considering two mutually exclusive expansion plans. Plan A calls for the expenditure of 50 million on a large-scale, integrated plant that will provide an expected cash flow stream of 8 million per year for 20 years. Plan B calls for the expenditure of 15 million to build a somewhat less efficient, more labor-intensive plant that has an expected cash flow stream of 3.4 million per year for 20 years. The firms cost of capital is 10%. a. Calculate each projects NPV and IRR. b. Set up a Project by showing the cash flows that will exist if the firm goes with the large plant rather than the smaller plant. What are the NPV and the IRR for this Project ? c. Graph the NPV profiles for Plan A, Plan B, and Project .arrow_forwardCash payback period, net present value method, and analysis Elite Apparel Inc. is considering two investment projects. The estimated net cash flows from each project are as follows: Each project requires an investment of $900,000. A rate of 15% has been selected for the net present value analysis. Instructions 1. Compute the following for each product: a. Cash payback period. b. The net present value. Use the present value of $1 table appearing in this chapter (Exhibit 2). 2.
