Concept explainers
a)
To determine:
Payback period of each project.
Introduction:
Every investment requires a time period to pay back the cost of investment. The time period taken to recover the cost of an investment is known as the payback period.
b)
To determine:
The investment decision of the Company.
Introduction:
Every investment requires a time period to pay back the cost of investment. The time period taken to recover the cost of an investment is known as the payback period. The acceptability of a project can be determined on the basis of the payback period of the project.
c)
To determine:
Reason for this choice.

- Project S has a cost of $10,000 and is expected to produce benefits (cash flows) of $3,000 per year for 5 years. Project L costs $25,000 and is expected to produce cash flows of $7,400 per year for 5 years. Calculate the two projects’ NPVs, IRRs, MIRRs, and PIs, assuming a cost of capital of 12%. Which project would be selected, assuming they are mutually exclusive, using each ranking method? Which should actually be selected?arrow_forwardCash 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.arrow_forwardGallant Sports s considering the purchase of a new rock-climbing facility. The company estimates that the construction will require an initial outlay of $350,000. Other cash flows are estimated as follows: Assuming the company limits its analysis to four years due to economic uncertainties, determine the net present value of the rock-climbing facility. Should the company develop the facility if the required rate of return is 6%?arrow_forward
- Redbird Company is considering a project with an initial investment of $265,000 in new equipment that will yield annual net cash flows of $45,800 each year over its seven-year life. The companys minimum required rate of return is 8%. What is the internal rate of return? Should Redbird accept the project based on IRR?arrow_forwardEdelman Engineering is considering including two pieces of equipment, a truck and an overhead pulley system, in this year’s capital budget. The projects are independent. The cash outlay for the truck is $17,100, and that for the pulley system is $22,430. The firm’s cost of capital is 14%. After-tax cash flows, including depreciation, are as follows: Calculate the IRR, the NPV, and the MIRR for each project, and indicate the correct accept/reject decision for each.arrow_forwardConsolidated Aluminum is considering the purchase of a new machine that will cost $308,000 and provide the following cash flows over the next five years: $88,000, 92,000, $91,000, $72,000, and $71,000. Calculate the IRR for this piece of equipment. For further instructions on internal rate of return in Excel, see Appendix C.arrow_forward
- Each of the following scenarios is independent. All cash flows are after-tax cash flows. Required: 1. Patz Corporation is considering the purchase of a computer-aided manufacturing system. The cash benefits will be 800,000 per year. The system costs 4,000,000 and will last eight years. Compute the NPV assuming a discount rate of 10 percent. Should the company buy the new system? 2. Sterling Wetzel has just invested 270,000 in a restaurant specializing in German food. He expects to receive 43,470 per year for the next eight years. His cost of capital is 5.5 percent. Compute the internal rate of return. Did Sterling make a good decision?arrow_forwardPostman Company is considering two independent projects. One project involves a new product line, and the other involves the acquisition of forklifts for the Materials Handling Department. The projected annual operating revenues and expenses are as follows: Required: Compute the after-tax cash flows of each project. The tax rate is 40 percent and includes federal and state assessments.arrow_forwardGarnette Corp is considering the purchase of a new machine that will cost $342,000 and provide the following cash flows over the next five years: $99,000, $88,000, $92,000. $87,000, and $72,000. Calculate the IRR for this piece of equipment. For further instructions on internal rate of return in Excel. see Appendix C.arrow_forward
- 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?arrow_forwardabc Inc., is considering two projects. Each requires an initial investment of $100,000. John Proton, president of the company, has set a maximum payback period of 4 years. The after-tax cash inflows associated with each project are shown in the following table. Cash inflows (CF,) Year Project A Project B $10,000 $40,000 2. 20,000 30,000 3 30,000 20,000 4 40,000 10,000 5 20,000 20,000 Compute the payback period of each project. Which should the company invest in, firstly, what if the projects are independent? Secondly, what if the projects are mutually exclusive? Please support your recommendations of project investment with own interpretations.arrow_forwardThe Butler-Perkins Company (BPC) must decide between two mutually exclusive projects. Each Project has an initial after-tax cash outflow of $6,500 and has an expected life of 3 years. Annual project after-tax cash flows begin 1 year after the initial investment and are- Subject to the following probability distributions.
