- The Atlantic Medical Clinic can purchase a new computer system that will save $7,000 annually in billing costs. The computer system will last for nine years and have no salvage value. Required: What is the maximum price (i.e., the price that exactly equals the present value of the annual savings in billing costs) that the Atlantic Medical Clinic should be willing to pay for the new computer system if the clinic's required rate of return is: (Round your final answer to the nearest whole dollar amount.) Maximum Price 1. Seven percent $ 49,164 2. Eleven percent $ 34,198arrow_forwardYou are evaluating the purchase of an apartment complex in East Memphis. It will cost $15 million to purchase and bring up to code. In Year 10 you will have to install a new roof at a cost of $5 million. Your net rental income should be $5 million per year for the 20-year life of the project. Use the MIRR method with a borrowing rate of 12% per year and a reinvestment rate of 18% per year to determine the external rate of return for this project. You must draw a correct cash flow diagram to get full credit for this problem and you must show your work.

The annual net cash benefits and savings associated with the system are described as follows: The system will cost 9,000,000 and last 10 years. The companys cost of capital is 12 percent. Required: 1. Calculate the payback period for the system. Assume that the company has a policy of only accepting projects with a payback of five years or less. Would the system be acquired? 2. Calculate the NPV and IRR for the project. Should the system be purchasedeven if it does not meet the payback criterion? 3. The project manager reviewed the projected cash flows and pointed out that two items had been missed. First, the system would have a salvage value, net of any tax effects, of 1,000,000 at the end of 10 years. Second, the increased quality and delivery performance would allow the company to increase its market share by 20 percent. This would produce an additional annual net benefit of 300,000. Recalculate the payback period, NPV, and IRR given this new information. (For the IRR computation, initially ignore salvage value.) Does the decision change? Suppose that the salvage value is only half what is projected. Does this make a difference in the outcome? Does salvage value have any real bearing on the companys decision?arrow_forward

Benefits will be $1,000 in year 0 and $800 in year 1, while costs will be $150 in year 0 and S1,500 in year 1. Let the discount rate equal 3% (or 0.03). Please derive the present values for costs and benefits, and determine if benefits exceed costs for this project. Then, please explain in the form of a one-act play some of the main ideas in Dr. Harcourt's article on the history and methodology of cost-benefit analysis to someone in your office who has not studied this material previously.arrow_forward

If the discount rate is 13%, what will be the required yearly investment needed to obtain the money for the upgrade?Round your (1+R)^n value to 2 decimal places and use that number for your final amount required rounded to the nearest dollar.arrow_forwardYour organization has been asked to invest in a continuing care retirement center. Your investment will be $600,000 per year for the next 5 years. After 5 years, cash flows will be $400,000 per year for the next 15 years. If your discount rate is 10%:(a) what is the present value of the investment?(b) what is the present value of the cash flows?(c) what is the profitability index?arrow_forwardYour factory has been offered a contract to produce a part for a new printer. The contract would last for three years, and your cash flows from the contract would be $5.01 million per year. Your upfront setup costs to be ready to produce the part would be $7.97 million. Your discount rate for this contract is 7.7%. a. What is the IRR? b. The NPV is $5.01 million, which is positive so the NPV rule says to accept the project. Does the IRR rule agree with the NPV rule? a. What is the IRR? The IRR is %. (Round to two decimal places.) b. The NPV is $5.01 million, which is positive so the NPV rule says to accept the project.
