Should the company develop the facility if the required rate of return is 6%?arrow_forwardSan Lucas Corporation is considering investment in robotic machinery based upon the following estimates: a. Determine the net present value of the equipment, assuming a desired rate of return of 10% and annual net cash flows of 700,000. Use the present value tables appearing in Exhibits 2 and 5 of this chapter. b. Determine the net present value of the equipment, assuming a desired rate of return of 10% and annual net cash flows of 500,000, 700,000, and 900,000. Use the present value tables (Exhibits 2 and 5) provided in the chapter in determining your answer. c.

- Fenton, Inc., has established a new strategic plan that calls for new capital investment. The company has a 9.8% required rate of return and an 8.3% cost of capital. Fenton currently has a return of 10% on its other investments. The proposed new investments have equal annual cash inflows expected. Management used a screening procedure of calculating a payback period for potential investments and annual cash flows, and the IRR for the 7 possible investments are displayed in image. Each investment has a 6-year expected useful life and no salvage value. A. Identify which project(s) is/are unacceptable and briefly state the conceptual justification as to why each of your choices is unacceptable. B. Assume Fenton has $330,000 available to spend. Which remaining projects should Fenton invest in and in what order? C. If Fenton was not limited to a spending amount, should they invest in all of the projects given the company is evaluated using return on investment?arrow_forwardThe management of Ryland International Is considering Investing in a new facility and the following cash flows are expected to result from the investment: A. What Is the payback period of this uneven cash flow? B. Does your answer change if year 6s cash inflow changes to $920,000?arrow_forwardFriedman Company is considering installing a new IT system. The cost of the new system is estimated to be 2,250,000, but it would produce after-tax savings of 450,000 per year in labor costs. The estimated life of the new system is 10 years, with no salvage value expected. Intrigued by the possibility of saving 450,000 per year and having a more reliable information system, the president of Friedman has asked for an analysis of the projects economic viability. All capital projects are required to earn at least the firms cost of capital, which is 12 percent. Required: 1. Calculate the projects internal rate of return. Should the company acquire the new IT system? 2. Suppose that savings are less than claimed. Calculate the minimum annual cash savings that must be realized for the project to earn a rate equal to the firms cost of capital. Comment on the safety margin that exists, if any. 3. Suppose that the life of the IT system is overestimated by two years. Repeat Requirements 1 and 2 under this assumption. Comment on the usefulness of this information.arrow_forward
