- The Atlantic Medical Clinic can purchase a new computer system that will save $6,000 annually in billing costs. The computer system will last for six years and have no salvage value. Required: What is the maximum price (i.e., the price that exactly equals the present value of the annual savings in billing costs) that the Atlantic Medical Clinic should be willing to pay for the new computer system if the clinic's required rate of return is: (Round your final answer to the nearest whole dollar amount.) Maximum Price 1. Nine percent 2. Fourteen percentarrow_forwardYou are evaluating the purchase of an apartment complex in East Memphis. It will cost $15 million to purchase and bring up to code. In Year 10 you will have to install a new roof at a cost of $5 million. Your net rental income should be $5 million per year for the 20-year life of the project. Use the MIRR method with a borrowing rate of 12% per year and a reinvestment rate of 18% per year to determine the external rate of return for this project. You must draw a correct cash flow diagram to get full credit for this problem and you must show your work. NOT ON EXCEL PLEASEarrow_forward2. The controller has asked you to consider three separate options that your firm has for getting a new software/computer system. The first option is to lease the system. The annual payment will be $15 million for the first year and it will grow at 5% a year. The lease contract is 5 years long. In this case, the lease expenses are operating and therefore would be tax-deductible. The second option is to buy the system for $38 million and depreciate it over 4 years, which is the expected life of the project. A third choice is to buy the system for $38 million and take it as an immediate expense. The system has an expected life of 4 years. If the tax rate is 40% and the cost of capital is 10%, estimate the equivalent annual costs of each option.arrow_forward
- Suppose a College has the option of either buying payroll software off-the-shell at $50,000 or employing a programmer for six months at a salary of $5000 to develop the software. Perform cost-benefit analysis for the two options. You can make suitable assumptions regarding any factor that has not been mentioned in this problem statement.arrow_forwardYou are a real estate agent thinking of placing a sign advertising your services at a local bus stop. Thesign will cost $4,300 and will be posted for one year. You expect that it will generate additionalrevenue of $817 a month. What is the payback period?arrow_forwardGina Ripley, president of Dearing Company, is considering the purchase of a computer-aided manufacturing system. The annual net cash benefits and savings associated with the system are described as follows: The system will cost 9,000,000 and last 10 years. The companys cost of capital is 12 percent. Required: 1. Calculate the payback period for the system. Assume that the company has a policy of only accepting projects with a payback of five years or less. Would the system be acquired? 2. Calculate the NPV and IRR for the project. Should the system be purchasedeven if it does not meet the payback criterion? 3. The project manager reviewed the projected cash flows and pointed out that two items had been missed. First, the system would have a salvage value, net of any tax effects, of 1,000,000 at the end of 10 years. Second, the increased quality and delivery performance would allow the company to increase its market share by 20 percent. This would produce an additional annual net benefit of 300,000. Recalculate the payback period, NPV, and IRR given this new information. (For the IRR computation, initially ignore salvage value.) Does the decision change? Suppose that the salvage value is only half what is projected. Does this make a difference in the outcome? Does salvage value have any real bearing on the companys decision?arrow_forward
- If a garden center is considering the purchase of a new tractor with an initial investment cost of $120,000, and the center expects a return of $30,000 in year one, $20,000 in years two and three. $15,000 In years four and five, and $10,000 in year six and beyond, what is the payback period?arrow_forwardYou own a construction company and have recently received a contract with the local school district to refurbish one of its elementary schools. You are given an up-front payment from the school district in the amount of $5 million. The contract terms extend from years 2018 to 2020. When would you recognize revenue for this payment? What method of accounting would you use for this construction project and why? What would be the benefits and challenges with your method selection? Give an example of your distribution selection and associated costs of the project (you may estimate based on other industry competitors). What might be some benefits and challenges associated with the other method of construction revenue recognition?arrow_forwardA restaurant is considering the purchase of new tables and chairs for their dining room with an initial investment cost of $515,000, and the restaurant expects an annual net cash flow of $103,000 per year.

If Money Is Worth 15%, Is It Advisable To Rent Or Buy The Machine?arrow_forward3. Calculate the internal rate of return for a machine that costs $550,000 and provides annual revenue of $125,000 per year for 5 years. You can assume all revenue is received once a year at the end of the year. a. Compare the IRR to the interest rate on a loan to fund the machine cost at 5.3%. Based on this information should you take on a loan to purchase this machine. Justify your answer.arrow_forward
