Repair the equipment in two years………………………….. $18,000
Annual revenues and costs:
Sales revenues………………………………………………… $350,000
Variable expenses…………………………………………….. $180,000
Fixed out-of-pocket operating costs………………………….. $80,000
The piece of equipment mentioned above has a useful life of five years and zero salvage value. Lander uses straight-line

- OPTIMAL CAPITAL BUDGET Hampton Manufacturing estimates that its VVACC is 125%. The company is considering the following 7 investment projects: Project Size IRR A 750,000 14.0% B 1,250,000 13.5 C 1,250,000 13.2 D 1,250,000 13.0 E 750,000 12.7 F 750,000 12.3 G 750,000 12.2 a. Assume that each of these projects is independent and that each is just as risky as the firms existing assets. Which set of projects should be accepted, and what is the firms optimal capital budget? b. Now assume that Projects C and D are mutually exclusive. Project D has an NPV of 400,000, whereas Project C has an NPV of 350,000. Which set of projects should be accepted, and what is the firms optimal capital budget? c. Ignore part b and assume that each of the projects is independent but that management decides to incorporate project risk differentials. Management judges Projects B, C, D, and E to have average risk. Project A to have high risk, and Projects F and G to have low risk. The company adds 2% to the WACC of those projects that are significantly more risky than average, and it subtracts 2% from the WACC of those projects that are substantially less risky than average. Which set of projects should be accepted, and what Is the firms optimal capital budget?arrow_forwardAverage rate of return method, net present value method, and analysis for a service company The capital Investment committee of Touch of Eden Landscaping Company is considering two capital investments. The estimated income from operations and net cash flows from each investment are as follows: Each project requires an investment of 60,000. Straight-line depreciation will be used, and no residual value is expected. The committee has selected a rate of 12% for purposes of the net present value analysis. Instructions 1. Compute the following: a. The average rate of return for each investment. Round to one decimal place. b. The net present value for each investment. Use the present value of 1 table appearing in this chapter (Exhibit 2). Round present values to the nearest dollar. 2. Prepare a brief report for the capital investment committee, advising it on the relative merits of the two investments .arrow_forwardQUESTION 35 Advanced Products is considering the purchase of a computer-aided manufacturing system that requires an initial investment of $1,750,000 and is expected to provide an increase in net income of $200,000 and average annual cash benefits and savings of $250,000 each year for the next 10 years. Their current cost of capital is 10%.

His annual pay raises are largely determined by his division’s return on investment (ROI), which has been above 20% each of the last three years. Derrick is considering a capital budgeting project that would require a $4,140,000 investment in equipment with a useful life of five years and no salvage value. Holston Company’s discount rate is 16%. The project would provide net operating income each year for five years as follows: Sales $ 3,400,000 Variable expenses 1,450,000 Contribution margin 1,950,000 Fixed expenses: Advertising, salaries, and other fixedout-of-pocket costs $ 670,000 Depreciation 828,000 Total fixed expenses 1,498,000 Net operating income $ 452,000 Click here to view Exhibit 13B-1 and Exhibit 13B-2, to determine the appropriate discount…arrow_forward
