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?
A new drill press is being considered to purchased. The estimated first cost is Php 200,000. The net annual income is Php 75,000 the first year, which decreases by Php 12,500 each year thereafter. After 5 years, the press can be sold for Php 25,000. Should this new drill press be considered if the company uses an MARR of 10%? Use the following method to support your recommendation; PW and IRR

The Fine Clothing Factory wants to replace an old machine with a new one. The old machine can be sold to a small factory for R10 000. The new machine would increase annual revenue by R150 000 and annual operating expenses by R60 000. The new machine would cost R360 000. The estimated useful life of the machine is 12 years with zero salvage value. Using Average rate of return (ARR), Should Fine Clothing Factory purchase the machine if management desired rate of return of 15% on all capital investments? Show all the calculations and motivate your answer.
