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)?
Fenton, Inc., has established a new strategic plan that calls for new capital investment. The company has a 9.8% required rate of return and an 8.3% cost of capital. Fenton currently has a return of 10% on its other investments. The proposed new investments have equal annual cash inflows expected. Management used a screening procedure of calculating a payback period for potential investments and annual cash flows, and the IRR for the 7 possible investments are displayed in image. Each investment has a 6-year expected useful life and no salvage value. A. Identify which project(s) is/are unacceptable and briefly state the conceptual justification as to why each of your choices is unacceptable. B. Assume Fenton has $330,000 available to spend. Which remaining projects should Fenton invest in and in what order? C. If Fenton was not limited to a spending amount, should they invest in all of the projects given the company is evaluated using return on investment?
Manzer Enterprises is considering two independent investments: A new automated materials handling system that costs 900,000 and will produce net cash inflows of 300,000 at the end of each year for the next four years. A computer-aided manufacturing system that costs 775,000 and will produce labor savings of 400,000 and 500,000 at the end of the first year and second year, respectively. Manzer has a cost of capital of 8 percent. Required: 1. Calculate the IRR for the first investment and determine if it is acceptable or not. 2. Calculate the IRR of the second investment and comment on its acceptability. Use 12 percent as the first guess. 3. What if the cash flows for the first investment are 250,000 instead of 300,000?
Buena Vision Clinic is considering an investment that requires an outlay of 600,000 and promises a net cash inflow one year from now of 810,000. Assume the cost of capital is 10 percent. Required: 1. Break the 810,000 future cash inflow into three components: a. The return of the original investment b. The cost of capital c. The profit earned on the investment 2. Now, compute the present value of the profit earned on the investment. 3. Compute the NPV of the investment. Compare this with the present value of the profit computed in Requirement 2. What does this tell you about the meaning of NPV?

CAPITAL BUDGETING Armanny, chief financial officer of Jeysifap Company, expects the firm’s net profits after taxes for the next 5 years to be as shown in the following table. YEAR NET PROFIT AFTER TAX 1 100,000 2 150,000 3 200,000 4 250,000 5 320,000 Armanny is beginning to develop the relevant cash flows needed to analyze whether to renewor replace Jeysifap’s only depreciable asset, amachine that originally cost $30,000, has acurrent book value of zero, and can now be soldfor $20,000. (Note: Because the firm’s onlydepreciable asset is fully depreciated— its bookvalue is zero—its expected net profits after taxesequal its operating cash inflows.) He estimatesthat at the end of 5 years, the existing machinecan be sold to net $2,000 before taxes. Armanny plans to use the following information todevelop the relevant cash flows for each of the alternatives. Alternative 1 Renew the existing machine at a total depreciable cost of $90,000. Therenewed machine would have a…
