Bermuda Co. must choose between gas-powered and an electric-powered forklift truck for moving materials in its factory.  Because both forklifts perform the same function, the firm will choose only one. (They are mutually exclusive investments.)  The electric-powered truck will cost more, but it will be less expensive to operate; it will cost $110,000, whereas the gas powered truck will cost $40,000.  The required rate of return that applies to both investments is 14 percent.  The life for both types of truck is estimated be 12 years, during which time the net cash flows for the electric-powered truck will be $23,500 per year and those for gas-powered truck will be $10,000 per year.  Calculate the NPV and IRR for each type of truck, and decide which to recommend.
Jaguar Holdings Company must choose between solar and an electric-powered forklift truck for moving materials in its factory. Because both forklifts perform the same function, the firm will choose only one. (They are mutually exclusive investments.) The solar truck will cost more but will be less expensive to operate; it will cost $80,000, whereas the electric-powered truck will cost $70,000. The life for both types of truck is estimated to be 10 years, during which time the net cash flows for the solar-powered truck will be $20,000 per year, and those for the electric-powered truck will be $12,000 per year. The Internal Rate of Return (IRR) for Solar = 21.41% and the Electric = 11.23% Calculate the NPV for each type of truck and decide which to recommend.
