Sensitivity analysis: San Lucas Corporation San Lucas Corporation is considering investment in robotic machinery based upon the following estimates: Cost of robotic machinery $4,000,000 Residual value 300,000 Useful life 10 years 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 Exhibit 2 and 5 of this chapter. Net present value $ 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 (Exhibit 2 and 5) provided in the chapter in determining your answer. If required, use the minus sign to indicate a negative net present value. Annual Net Cash Flow $500,000 $700,000 $900,000 Net present value 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. Annual Net Cash Flow $

Gallant Sports s considering the purchase of a new rock-climbing facility. The company estimates that the construction will require an initial outlay of $350,000. Other cash flows are estimated as follows: Assuming the company limits its analysis to four years due to economic uncertainties, determine the net present value of the rock-climbing facility. Should the company develop the facility if the required rate of return is 6%?
Garnette Corp is considering the purchase of a new machine that will cost $342,000 and provide the following cash flows over the next five years: $99,000, $88,000, $92,000. $87,000, and $72,000. Calculate the IRR for this piece of equipment. For further instructions on internal rate of return in Excel. see Appendix C.
Consolidated Aluminum is considering the purchase of a new machine that will cost $308,000 and provide the following cash flows over the next five years: $88,000, 92,000, $91,000, $72,000, and $71,000.

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?
Roberts Company is considering an investment in equipment that is capable of producing more efficiently than the current technology. The outlay required is 2,293,200. The equipment is expected to last five years and will have no salvage value. The expected cash flows associated with the project are as follows: Required: 1. Compute the projects payback period. 2. Compute the projects accounting rate of return. 3. Compute the projects net present value, assuming a required rate of return of 10 percent. 4. Compute the projects internal rate of return.
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.
