Velma and Keota (V&K) is a partnership that owns a small company. It is considering two alternative investment opportunities. The first investment opportunity will have a three-year useful life, will cost $8,922.67, and will generate expected cash inflows of $3,400 per year. The second investment is expected to have a useful life of three years, will cost $7,989.00, and will generate expected cash inflows of $3,100 per year. Assume that V&K has the funds available to accept only one of the opportunities. (PV of $1 and PVA of $1) (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided.)
Required
Calculate the internal rate of return of each investment opportunity. (Do not round intermediate calculations.)
Based on the internal rates of return, which opportunity should V&K select?

c). Compute the NPV for both production system 1 and production system 2. (Round answers to 2 decimal places, e.g. 15.25 or 15.25%.)NPV of system 1 is $ ____ and NPV of system 2 is ____d). Which production system has the higher NPV? System 1 or System 2?
Exercise 10-5A (Algo) Determining net present value LO 10-2
Gibson Company is considering investing in two new vans that are expected to generate combined cash inflows of $29,500 per year. The vans’ combined purchase price is $95,500. The expected life and salvage value of each are six years and $21,200, respectively. Gibson has an average cost of capital of 12 percent. (PV of $1 and PVA of $1) (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided.)
Required
Calculate the net present value of the investment opportunity. (Negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign. Round your intermediate calculations and final answer to 2 decimal places.)
Indicate whether the investment opportunity is expected to earn a return that is above or below the cost of capital and whether it should be accepted.

As a financial consultant, you are required to evaluate whether to invest in Project A or Project B by employing the method of ARR (assume that there are no other costs). Required Tasks: Calculate the ARR for each project. Show the ranking of the projects based on the method of ARR and use critical analysis to advise your client accordingly as to the best investment action.

Because of limited resources, he will be able to invest in only one of them. Project A is to purchase a machine that will enable factory automation; the machine is expected to have a useful life of four years and no salvage value. Project B supports a training program that will improve the skills of employeesPage 472 operating the current equipment. Initial cash expenditures for Project A are $400,000 and for Project B are $160,000. The annual expected cash inflows are $126,000 for Project A and $52,800 for Project B. Both investments are expected to provide cash flow benefits for the next four years. Donovan Enterprises’ desired rate of return is 8 percent. Required Compute the net present value of each project.

- Problem 26-02Investment Timing Option: Decision-Tree Analysis The Karns Oil Company is deciding whether to drill for oil on a tract of land that the company owns. The company estimates the project would cost $6 million today. Karns estimates that, once drilled, the oil will generate positive net cash flows of $2.7 million a year at the end of each of the next 4 years. Although the company is fairly confident about its cash flow forecast, in 2 years it will have more information about the local geology and about the price of oil. Karns estimates that if it waits 2 years then the project would cost $7 million. Moreover, if it waits 2 years, then there is a 90% chance that the net cash flows would be $3.3 million a year for 4 years and a 10% chance that they would be $1.8 million a year for 4 years. Assume all cash flows are discounted at 10%. If the company chooses to drill today, what is the project's net present value? A negative value should be entered with a negative sign.
