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?

Use Annual Worth method to calculate the benefit/cost ratio at i = 6% for a new library. The first cost is $500K, and O&M costs are $100K per year. There is no salvage value after 30 years. Community benefits are estimated to be $130K per year. Is the library economically justified? Write a brief interpretation of your answer
A public company is trying to use a benefit–cost analysis to determine whether or not to move to a new location for the next 20 years. The costs have been determined to be $300,000 initially, with $6000 maintenance costs per year. What do the benefits have to be in order to justify the move if the interest rate is 10% per year? a. Equivalent uniform benefits must be >= $41,238 b. Equivalent uniform benefits must be <= $41,238. c. Equivalent uniform benefits must be <= $11,238. d. Equivalent uniform benefits must be >= $11,238
Determine the NPV for the following: An information system will cost $95,000 to implement over aone-year period and will produce no savings during that year. When the system goes online, the companywill save $30,000 during the first year of operation. For the next four years, the savings will be$20,000 per year. Assuming a 12% discount rate, what is the NPV of the system?
The Bob's company is considering some new equipment for its bookstores. The project details are as follows: The upfront cost of $400,000 will last for 3 years. At the end of 3 years, Humber can sell the equipment for $200,000. The equipment will generate an extra $40,000 in revenue in the first year, $800,000 for year 2, and then increase by $15,000 for the next three years. Humber can borrow at 5%. Based on above calculate the project’s NPV IRR Profitability Index Payback Discounted Payback
The city council of Morristown is considering the purchase of one new fire truck. The options are Truck X and Truck Y. The appropriate financial data are as follows (shown): The purchase is to be financed by money borrowed at 12% per year.

A retail outlet is being designed in a strip mall in Nebraska. For this outlet, the installed fiberglass insulation to protect against heat loss in the winter and heat gain in the summer will cost an estimated $100,000. The annual savings in energy due to the insulation will be $18,000 at EOY one in the 10-year lifeof the outlet, and these savings will increase by 12% each year thereafter. If the annual interest rate is 15%, is the cost of the proposed amount of insulation justified?
Officials from the City of Galveston and State of Texas gathered to celebrate the start of a beach restoration project that involves dumping sand and adding antierosion structures. The first cost of the project is $30 million with annual maintenance estimated at $340,000. If the restored/expanded beaches attract visitors who will spend $6.2 million per year, what is the conventional B/C ratio at the social discount rate of 8% per year? Assume the State wants to recover the investment in 20 years.
