To determine: The payback period,
Payback Period:
It is ascertained when cost of project is divided by the annual cash flows of the respective project. The payback period is a method used in capital budgeting. It does not involve the
Internal Rate of Return (IRR):
IRR is also a technique of capital budgeting that includes the time value of money concept. The IRR of a project is shows as the profitability arises from the project. The IRR of a project is calculated with the help of NPV calculations.
Profitability Index (PI):
The profitability index measure the return from the investment, the investor can calculate the return with the help of this index. If the profitability index is more than one it should be selected and if it is less than one then the project is rejected.
Net Present Value (NPV):
NPV is a technique used in capital budgeting to see the project is profitable for the company or not. The selection is based on the result of NPV as if it is positive then it should be selected and in the case of negative NPV it should be rejected.

- 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_forwardYour company is planning to purchase a new log splitter for is lawn and garden business. The new splitter has an initial investment of $180,000. It is expected to generate $25,000 of annual cash flows, provide incremental cash revenues of $150,000, and incur incremental cash expenses of $100,000 annually.

Assume the cost of capital is 10 percent. Required: 1. Break the 810,000 future cash inflow into three components: a. The return of the original investment b. The cost of capital c. The profit earned on the investment 2. Now, compute the present value of the profit earned on the investment. 3. Compute the NPV of the investment. Compare this with the present value of the profit computed in Requirement 2. What does this tell you about the meaning of NPV?arrow_forward
