Answer to Problem 15.4.1P
The Net Present value for each project for each project is as follows:
Net Present Value | |
Radio Station | $ 176,325 |
TV Station | $ 148,809 |
Explanation of Solution
The Net Present value for each project is calculated as follows:

Concept Introduction:
NPV:
Net present value (NPV) is the method to evaluate the project feasibility. This method calculates the present value of cash inflows and outflows, and then calculates the net present value of the investment. A project should be accepted if it has a positive NPV. The formula to calculate the NPV is as follows:
To Calculate:
The Present Value Index for each project
Answer to Problem 15.4.1P
The Present Value Index for each project is as follows:
Present Value Index | |
Radio Station | 1.11 |
TV Station | 1.04 |
Explanation of Solution
The Present Value Index for each project is calculated as follows:
Radio Station | Amount | PVF (10%) | PV |
A | B | =A*B | |

EBK SURVEY OF ACCOUNTING
- Net 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_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_forwardProject S has a cost of $10,000 and is expected to produce benefits (cash flows) of $3,000 per year for 5 years. Project L costs $25,000 and is expected to produce cash flows of $7,400 per year for 5 years. Calculate the two projects’ NPVs, IRRs, MIRRs, and PIs, assuming a cost of capital of 12%. Which project would be selected, assuming they are mutually exclusive, using each ranking method? Which should actually be selected?arrow_forward
