(a)
Introduction:
To calculate:
The net present value.
Answer to Problem 3E
Net present value is $730,578.13.
Explanation of Solution
Initial investment = $1,600,000
Annual net cash flow = net income +
= $250,000 + $156,250
= $406,250
Present value of cash flows:
Net present value = Present value of inflow of cash − Present value of outflow of cash
= $2,330,578.13 - $1,600,000
= $730,578.13
(b)
Introduction:
To state:
If the rate of IRR is more or less than 10%.
Explanation of Solution
Net present value is $730,578.13.
Since the Net present value is positive, IRR should be greater than the cost of capital of 10%.
(c)
Introduction:
Net present value is calculated as the difference between present cash inflows and present cash outflows. A positive value of NPV states that the investment is profitable and negative value of NPV states that the investment will result in a loss.
To calculate:
The net present value using 20% discount rate.
Answer to Problem 3E
Net present value is $40,272.5.
Explanation of Solution
Initial investment = $1,600,000
Annual net cash flow = net income + depreciation
= $250,000 + $156,250
= $406,250
Present value of cash flows:
Net present value = Present value of inflow of cash − Present value of outflow of cash
= $1,640,272.5 - $1,600,000
= $40,272.5
(d)
Introduction:
Internal
To estimate:
The IRR of the project.
Answer to Problem 3E
IRR is 19.13%.
Explanation of Solution
Year | Annual cash flow |
0 | ($1,600,000) |
1 | $406,250 |
2 | $406,250 |
3 | $406,250 |
4 | $406,250 |
5 | $406,250 |
6 | $406,250 |
7 | $406,250 |
8 | $406,250 |
IRR | 19.13% |
Formula used (in excel) = IRR [All the values of annual cash flow]

- Average rate of return The following data are accumulated by Watershed Inc. in evaluating two competing capital investment proposals: Determine the expected average rate of return for each project.arrow_forwardNet present value method, present value index, and analysis for a service company First United Bank Inc. is evaluating three capital investment projects by using the net present value method. Relevant data related to the projects are summarized as follows: Instructions 1. Assuming that the desired rate of return is 15%, prepare a net present value analysis for each project. Use the present value table appearing in Exhibit 2 of this chapter. 2. Determine a present value index for each project. (Round to two decimal places.) 3. Which project offers the largest amount of present value per dollar of investment? Explain.arrow_forwardNet 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?arrow_forward
- Calculate the project cash flows for each year. Based on these cash flows and the average project cost of capital, what are the projects NPV, IRR, MIRR, PI, payback, and discounted payback? Do these indicators suggest that the project should be undertaken?arrow_forwardCalculate the cash flows for each year.
