Mason, Inc., is considering the purchase of a patent that has a cost of $85000 and an estimated revenue producing lite of 4 years. Mason has a required rate of return that is 12% and a cost of capital of 11%. The patent is expected to generate the following amounts of annual income and cash flows: A. What is the NPV of the investment? B. What happens if the required rate of return increases?
Redbird Company is considering a project with an initial investment of $265,000 in new equipment that will yield annual net cash flows of $45,800 each year over its seven-year life. The companys minimum required rate of return is 8%. What is the internal rate of return? Should Redbird accept the project based on IRR?
Gardner Denver Company is considering the purchase of a new piece of factory equipment that will cost $420,000 and will generate $95,000 per year for 5 years. Calculate the IRR for this piece of equipment. For further Instructions on internal rate of return in Excel, see Appendix C.
Your company is planning to purchase a new log splitter for is lawn and garden business. The new splitter has an initial investment of $180,000. It is expected to generate $25,000 of annual cash flows, provide incremental cash revenues of $150,000, and incur incremental cash expenses of $100,000 annually. What is the payback period and accounting rate of return (ARR)?
Gina Ripley, president of Dearing Company, is considering the purchase of a computer-aided manufacturing system. 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?
San Lucas Corporation is considering investment in robotic machinery based upon the following estimates: a. Determine the net present value of the equipment, assuming a desired rate of return of 10% and annual net cash flows of 700,000. Use the present value tables appearing in Exhibits 2 and 5 of this chapter. b. Determine the net present value of the equipment, assuming a desired rate of return of 10% and annual net cash flows of 500,000, 700,000, and 900,000. Use the present value tables (Exhibits 2 and 5) provided in the chapter in determining your answer. c. Determine the minimum annual net cash flow necessary to generate a positive net present value, assuming a desired rate of return of 10%. Round to the nearest dollar. d. Interpret the results of parts (a), (b), and (c).

1. Assuming monetary benefits of a construction project at $50,000 per year during year 1, 2, 3 and 5 (not year 4), one-time costs (initial investment) of $15,000, recurring costs of $35,000 per year (every year), a discount rate of 10 per cent, and a 5-year time horizon, calculate the net present value (NPV) of an information system's costs and benefits. Calculate the overall return on investment (ROI) of the project. During which year does break-even occur?. Use the NPV template provided (modify to suit your answer) and clearly display the NPV, ROI, and year in which payback occurs. Write a paragraph explaining whether you would recommend investing in this project based on your ﬁnancial analysis. Explain your answer referring to the NPV, ROI and payback for this project.
