(Ignore income taxes in this problem.) Russnak Corporation is investigating automating a process by purchasing a new machine for $198,000 that would have a 9 year useful life and no salvage value. By automating the process, the company would save $68,000 per year in cash operating costs. The company's current equipment would be sold for scrap now, yielding $18,000. The annual depreciation on the new machine would be $22,000. Required: Determine the simple rate of return on the investment to the nearest tenth of a percent. Show your work!

(Ignore income taxes in this problem.) The management of Truelove Corporation is considering a project that would require an initial investment of $321,000 and would last for 7 years. The annual net operating income from the project would be $28,000, including depreciation of $42,000. At the end of the project, the scrap value of the project's assets would be $27,000. Required: Determine the payback period of the project. Show your work!

(Ignore income taxes in this problem.) Wary Corporation is considering the purchase of a machine that would cost $240,000 and would last for 9 years. At the end of 5 years, the machine would have a salvage value of $29,000. The machine would reduce labor and other costs by $63,000 per year. The company requires a minimum pretax return of 10% on all investment projects. Required: Determine the net present value of the project. Show your work!

The management of Ro Corporation is investigating automating a process. Old equipment, with a current salvage value of $11,000, would be replaced by a new machine. The new machine would be purchased for $243,000 and would have a 9 year useful life and no salvage value. By automating the process, the company would save $69,000 per year in cash operating costs. The simple rate of return on the investment is closest to (Ignore income taxes.) :

The management of Hibert Corporation is considering three investment projects-W, X, and Y. Project W would require an investment of $21,000, Project X of $66,000, and Project Y of $95,000. The present value of the cash inflows would be $22,470 for Project W, $73,920 for Project X, and $98,800 for Project Y. (Ignore income taxes.) The profitability index of investment project X is closest to:

Charlie Corporation is considering buying a new donut maker. This machine will replace an old donut maker that still has a useful life of 6 years. The new machine will cost $3,600 a year to operate, as opposed to the old machine, which costs $3,800 per year to operate. Also, because of increased capacity, an additional 20,000 donuts a year can be produced. The company makes a contribution margin of $0.10 per donut. The old machine can be sold for $7,000 and the new machine costs $30,000. The incremental annual net cash inflows provided by the new machine would be (Ignore income taxes.) :

An investment project with a project profitability index of 0.04 has an internal rate of return that is less than the discount rate.

Oriental Corporation has gathered the following data on a proposed investment project: Use Exhibit 7B-1 and Exhibit 7B-2, to determine the appropriate discount factor(s) using the tables provided. The company uses straight-line depreciation on all equipment. Assume cash flows occur uniformly throughout a year except for the initial investment. The net present value of this investment would be:

Vandezande Inc. is considering the acquisition of a new machine that costs $370,000 and has a useful life of 5 years with no salvage value. The incremental net operating income and incremental net cash flows that would be produced by the machine are (Ignore income taxes.) : Use Exhibit 7B-1 and Exhibit 7B-2, to determine the appropriate discount factor(s) using the tables provided. Assume cash flows occur uniformly throughout a year except for the initial investment. If the discount rate is 10%, the net present value of the investment is closest to:

Treads Corporation is considering the purchase of a new machine to replace an old machine that is currently being used. The old machine is fully depreciated but can be used by the corporation for five more years. If Treads decides to buy the new machine, the old machine can be sold for $60,000. The old machine would have no salvage value in five years. The new machine would be purchased for $1,000,000 in cash. The new machine has an expected useful life of five years with no salvage value. Due to the increased efficiency of the new machine, the company would benefit from annual cash savings of $300,000. Treads Corporation uses a discount rate of 12%. (Ignore income taxes.) Use Exhibit 7B-1 and Exhibit 7B-2, to determine the appropriate discount factor(s) using the tables provided. The net present value of the project is closest to:

Fast Food, Inc., has purchased a new donut maker. It cost $16,000 and has an estimated life of 10 years. The following annual donut sales and expenses are projected (Ignore income taxes.) : Assume cash flows occur uniformly throughout a year except for the initial investment. The simple rate of return for the new machine is closest to:

(Ignore income taxes in this problem.) Gallatin, Inc., has assembled the estimates shown below relating to a proposed new product. These estimates are based on a 5-year project life, at the end of which the new equipment would be sold, working capital would revert to other uses in the company, and the product would be discontinued. Gallatin uses a discount rate of 10%. Required: Compute the net present value of the new product.

(Ignore income taxes in this problem.) Cardinal Pharmacy has purchased a small auto for delivery of prescriptions. The auto cost $28,000 and will be usable for four years. Delivery of prescriptions (which the pharmacy has never done before) should increase revenues by at least $40,000 per year. The cost of these prescriptions will be about $30,000 per year. The pharmacy depreciates all assets by the straight-line method. Required: a. Compute the payback period on the new auto. b. Compute the simple rate of return of the new auto.

An investment project requires an initial investment of $100,000. The project is expected to generate net cash inflows of $28,000 per year for the next five years. These cash inflows occur evenly throughout the year. Assuming a 12% discount rate, the project's payback period is (Ignore income taxes.) :

Congener Beverage Corporation is considering an investment in a project that has an internal rate of return of 20%. The only cash outflow for this project is the initial investment. The project is estimated to have an 8 year life and no salvage value. Cash inflows from this project are expected to be $100,000 per year in each of the 8 years. Congener's discount rate is 16%. What is the net present value of this project? (Ignore income taxes.) Use Exhibit 7B-1 and Exhibit 7B-2, to determine the appropriate discount factor(s) using the tables provided.

The internal rate of return method assumes that a project's cash flows are reinvested at the:

When discounted cash flow methods of capital budgeting are used, the working capital required for a project is ordinarily counted as a cash outflow at the beginning of the project and as a cash inflow at the end of the project.

Neither the net present value method nor the internal rate of return method can be used as a screening tool in capital budgeting decisions.
