- Friedman Company is considering installing a new IT system. The cost of the new system is estimated to be 2,250,000, but it would produce after-tax savings of 450,000 per year in labor costs. The estimated life of the new system is 10 years, with no salvage value expected. Intrigued by the possibility of saving 450,000 per year and having a more reliable information system, the president of Friedman has asked for an analysis of the projects economic viability. All capital projects are required to earn at least the firms cost of capital, which is 12 percent. Required: 1. Calculate the projects internal rate of return. Should the company acquire the new IT system? 2. Suppose that savings are less than claimed. Calculate the minimum annual cash savings that must be realized for the project to earn a rate equal to the firms cost of capital. Comment on the safety margin that exists, if any. 3. Suppose that the life of the IT system is overestimated by two years. Repeat Requirements 1 and 2 under this assumption. Comment on the usefulness of this information.arrow_forwardGallant Sports s considering the purchase of a new rock-climbing facility.

The facility has an expected useful life of 35 years and a net salvage value (net proceeds from its sale after tax adjustments) of $225,000.(b) Annual savings (due to a better strategic location) of $227,000 are expected, annual maintenance and administrative costs will be $114,000, and annual income taxes are $43,000.Suppose that the firm's MARR is 12%.

Options for B are; Straight-Line or Bonus Depreciationarrow_forwardUsing payback, ARR, NPV, IRR, and profitability index to make capital investment decisions Water City is considering purchasing a water park in Omaha, Nebraska, for $1,920,000. The new facility will generate annual net cash inflows of $472,000 for eight years. Engineers estimate that the facility will remain useful for eight years and have no residual value. The company uses straight-line depreciation, and its stockholders demand an annual return of 12% on investments of this nature. Requirements Compute the payback, the ARR, the NPV, the IRR, and the profitability index of this investment. Recommend whether the company should invest in this project.arrow_forwardA mining company is deciding whether to open a strip mine,which costs $2 million. Cash inflows of $13 million would occur at the end of Year 1. Theland must be returned to its natural state at a cost of $12 million, payable at the end ofYear 2.a. Plot the project’s NPV profile.b. Should the project be accepted if WACC = 10%? If WACC = 20%? Explain your reasoning.c. Think of some other capital budgeting situations in which negative cash flows duringor at the end of the project’s life might lead to multiple IRRs.d. What is the project’s MIRR at WACC = 10%? At WACC =20%? Does MIRR lead tothe same accept/reject decision for this project as the NPV method? Does the MIRRmethod always lead to the same accept/reject decision as NPV?

- Which of the following should be considered when a company estimates the cash flows used to analyze a proposed project? Group of answer choices Since the firm's director of capital budgeting spent some of her time last year to evaluate the new project, a portion of her salary for that year should be charged to the project's initial cost. The company spent and expensed $10 million on a marketing study before its current analysis regarding whether to accept or reject the project. The firm would borrow all the money used to finance the new project, and the interest on this debt would be $1.5 million per year. The new project is expected to reduce sales of one of the company's existing products by 5%. The company has spent and expensed $1 million on R&D associated with the new project.arrow_forwardUsing payback, ARR, NPV, IRR, and profitability index to make capital investment decisions Splash Nation is considering purchasing a water park in Atlanta, Georgia, for $1,910,000. The new facility will generate annual net cash inflows of $483,000 for eight years. Engineers estimate that the facility will remain useful for eight years and have no residual value. The company uses straight-line depreciation, and its stockholders demand an annual return of 10% on investments of this nature.
