Cash 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. Prepare a brief report advising management on the relative merits of each project.
Draw a cash flow diagram depicting the net cash flows associated with the purchase, operation, and disposition of a synthetic rubber blending machine. The cash flow components are shown below. Your CFD should have only one arrow at any given time period, reflecting the net of that period’s cash flows.
You are asked to evaluate the following two projects for the Norton Corporation. Using the net present value method
combined with the profitability index approach described in footnote 2 of this chapter, which project would you select? Use a
discount rate of 14 percent.
