CAPITAL BUDGETING AND CASH FLOW ESTIMATION Allied Food Products is considering expanding into the fruit juice business with a new fresh lemon juice product. Assume that you were recently hired as assistant to the director of capital budgeting, and you must evaluate the new project. The lemon juice would be produced in an unused building adjacent to Allied's Fort Myers plane, Allied owns the building, which is fully depreciated. The purchase price of the required equiphiente is $280,000, including shipping and installation costs, and the equipment is eligjble for 190% PONYS depreciation at the time of nurcho

Cash payback period for a service company Janes Clothing Inc. is evaluating two capital investment proposals for a retail outlet, each requiring an investment of 975,000 and each with a seven-year life and expected total net cash flows of 1,050,000. Location 1 is expected to provide equal annual net cash flows of 150,000, and Location 2 is expected to have the following unequal annual net cash flows: Determine the cash payback period for both location proposals.
Determine cash flows Natural Foods Inc. is planning to invest in new manufacturing equipment to make a new garden tool. The new garden tool is expected to generate additional annual sales of 5,000 units at 18 each. The new manufacturing equipment will cost 120,000 and is expected to have a 10-year life and a 17,000 residual value. Selling expenses related to the new product are expected to be 3% of sales revenue. The cost to manufacture the product includes the following on a per-unit basis: Determine the net cash flows for the first year of the project, Years 29, and for the last year of the project.
Net present value method, internal rate of return method, and analysis for a service company The management of Advanced Alternative Power Inc. is considering two capital investment projects. The estimated net cash flows from each project are as follows: The wind turbines require an investment of 887,600, while the biofuel equipment requires an investment of 911,100. No residual value is expected from either project. Instructions 1. Compute the following for each project: A. The net present value. Use a rate of 6% and the present value of an annuity table appearing in Exhibit 5 of this chapter. B. A present value index. (Round to two decimal places.) 2. Determine the internal rate of return for each project by (A) computing a present value factor for an annuity of 1 and (B) using the present value of an annuity of 1 table appearing in Exhibit 5 of this chapter. 3. What advantage does the internal rate of return method have over the net present value method in comparing projects?
Review of Basic Capital Budgeting Procedures Dr. Whitley Avard, a plastic surgeon, had just returned from a conference in which she learned of a new surgical procedure for removing wrinkles around eyes, reducing the time to perform the normal procedure by 50%. Given her patient-load pressures. Dr. Avard is excited to try out the new technique. By decreasing the time spent on eye treatments or procedures, she can increase her total revenues by performing more services within a work period. In order to implement the new procedure, special equipment costing 74,000 is needed. The equipment has an expected life of 4 years, with a salvage value of 6,000. Dr. Avard estimates that her cash revenues will increase by the following amounts: She also expects additional cash expenses amounting to 3,000 per year. The cost of capital is 12%. Assume that there are no income taxes. Required: 1. Compute the payback period for the new equipment. 2. Compute the ARR. Round the percentage to two decimal places. 3. CONCEPTUAL CONNECTION Compute the NPV and IRR for the project. Use 14% as your first guess for IRR. Should Dr. Avard purchase the new equipment? Should she be concerned about payback or the ARR in making this decision? 4. CONCEPTUAL CONNECTION Before finalizing her decision. Dr. Avard decided to call two plastic surgeons who have been using the new procedure for the past 6 months. The conversations revealed a somewhat less glowing report than she received at the conference. The new procedure reduced the time required by about 25% rather than the advertised 50%. Dr. Avard estimated that the net operating cash flows of the procedure would be cut by one-third because of the extra time and cost involved (salvage value would be unaffected). Using this information, recompute the NPV of the project. What would you now recommend?
