Working Note 3:
Calculate the present value of annual net cash flows:
d.
Identify the minimum annual net cash flow required to generate a positive net present value.
d.
Explanation of Solution
Calculate the minimum annual net cash flows:
Hence, the minimum annual net cash flow required to generate a positive net present value is $519,575.
e.
Interpret the results in parts (a), (b) and (c).
e.
Explanation of Solution
Every business desires to get maximum profit with minimum investment. The net cash flow of $800,000 is generated from the investment which has a present value of $1,584,400. This clearly indicates the management could invest in the equipment. However, when there is a decrease in the annual net cash flows there is also a drastic decrease in the present value of the equipment. The annual net cash flow must be above $519,575 to generate a profit by the company.
