Textbook Question
Chapter 5, Problem 1P
Tennessee Tool Works (TTW) is considering investment in five independent projects,
Any profitable combination of them is feasible.
TTW has$50million available to invest, and these funds are currently earning 7% interest annually from municipal bonds. If the funds available are limited to $50 million, what is TTW’s MARR that is implied by this particular situation? (5.2)
Expert Solution & Answer
To determine
Selection of the project.
Explanation of Solution
The firm has limited investment. It can select the project that give more profit rate in order to maximize the profit. Thus, the firm can select the project A, E and D. The MARR for the firm is equal the best return of the rejected projects. Since the best return from the rejected project is 12%, the firm’s MARR is 12%.

A student plans to deposit P1,500 in the bank now and another P3,000 for the next two years. If he plans to withdraw P5,000 three years from after his last deposit for the purpose of buying shoes, what will be the amount of money left in the bank after one year of his withdrawal? The effective annual rate of interest is 10%.
The following cash flows result from a potential construction project for your company:
Receipts of $545,000 at the start of the contract and $1,200,000 at the end of the fourth year
Expenditures at the end of the first year of $400,000 and at the end of the second year of $900,000
A net cash flow of $0 at the end of the third year.
Using an appropriate rate of return method (Approximate ERR), for a MARR of 20%, should your company accept this project (Perform all calculations using 5 significant figures and round your answer to one decimal place. )
What is the approximate ERR for this project? %
Should your company undertake this project?
You are planning for retirement 34 years from now. You plan to invest $4,200 per year for the first 7 years, $6,900 per year for the next 11 years, and $14,500 per year for the following 16 years (assume all cash flows occur at the end of each year).

- Hollygan Co. must choose between gas-powered and an electric-powered forklift truck for moving materials in its factory. Because both forklifts perform the same function, the firm will choose only one. (They are mutually exclusive investments.) The electric-powered truck will cost more, but it will be less expensive to operate; it will cost $110,000, whereas the gas powered truck will cost $40,000. The required rate of return that applies to both investments is 14 percent. The life for both types of truck is estimated be 12 years, during which time the net cash flows for the electric-powered truck will be $23,500 per year and those for gas-powered truck will be $10,000 per year. Calculate the NPV and IRR for each type of truck, and decide which to recommend.

To help reduce costs on labor and to increase efficiency, Drew is considering purchasing an automatic 50 lb. bagging machine and a machine that automatically stacks the 50 lb. bags onto pallets. The cost of the two machines combined and their installation is $300,000. Drew will make a 20% down payment and finance the rest of the machinery with an amortized loan over 15 years at a 5.5% interest rate. Drew predicts that by using these two machines, his plant will be able to increase output, therefore increasing operating receipts by $30,000 per year. Also, this machinery will save him approximately $10,000 in labor costs each year by the increase in efficiency. However, other operating expenses such as electricity and insurance will increase by approximately $5,000 per year.
