Barlae Auto Repair, Inc. is evaluating a project to purchase equipment that will not only expand the company’s capacity but also improve the quality of its repair services. The board of directors requires all capital investments to meet or exceed the minimum requirement of a 10 percent rate of return. However, the board has not clearly defined the rate of return. The president and controller are pondering two different

Problem 10-19A Using net present value and internal rate of return to evaluate investment opportunities
Dwight Donovan, the president of Donovan Enterprises, is considering two investment opportunities. 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.

[The following information applies to the questions displayed below.] Most Company has an opportunity to invest in one of two new projects. Project Y requires a $320,000 investment for new machinery with a five-year life and no salvage value. Project Z requires a $320,000 investment for new machinery with a four-year life and no salvage value. The two projects yield the following predicted annual results. The company uses straight-line depreciation, and cash flows occur evenly throughout each year. (PV of $1, FV of $1, PVA of $1, and FVA of $1) (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided.)

- Problem 11-12New-Project Analysis Madison Manufacturing is considering a new machine that costs $350,000 and would reduce pre-tax manufacturing costs by $110,000 annually. Madison would use the 3-year MACRS method to depreciate the machine, and management thinks the machine would have a value of $33,000 at the end of its 5-year operating life. The applicable depreciation rates are 33.33%, 44.45%, 14.81%, and 7.41%. Working capital would increase by $35,000 initially, but it would be recovered at the end of the project's 5-year life.

Research and development manager associated a probability of success to 60% (0.6) with a research investment at time zero being successful and generating the need for an additional $300,000 development investment at the end of year 1, which is estimated to have a probability of 90% (0.9) of successfully generating profits of $200,000 per year for years 2 through 10, assuming a washout of escalation of operating cost and sales revenue. If failure occurs after the time zero research investment, a reclamation cost of $100,000 will be realized at the end of year 1. If failure occurs after year 1 investment, the salvage value will be $250,000 at the end of year 2 for equipment salvage.
