Introduction: The variability between present value of all cash outflow and present value of all cash inflow is known as net present value (NPV). The discount rate at which the net present value is equal to zero is knows as Internal rate of return (IRR). The ratio of income and capital gain is known as simple rate of return.
To compute: The actual net present value of the investment.

Answer to Problem 7.30P
The new automated machine gives intangible benefits such as speed reliability and high quality, more variety of products, reduction in inventories etc. Rate of return worth at least $49,646 per year.
Explanation of Solution
- The new automated machine gives intangible benefits such as speed reliability and high quality, more variety of products, reduction in inventories etc.
- Net present value excluding intangible benefits (negative)- ($148,520) Present value actor for annuity at 20% for 5 periods − 2.991
These intangible benefits will result in saving costs from the reduced labor hours.
Rate of return worth at least $49,646 per year.
