*(c)

Verdugo Corporation is considering three long-term capital investment proposals. Relevant data on each project are as follows.

Project Brown Red Yellow Capital investment $188,710 $219,600 $250,720 Annual net income: Year 1 25,500 20,260 26,171 2 16,007 20,260 24,001 3 13,449 20,260 23,444 4 10,160 20,260 17,436 5 8,107 20,260 20,060 Total $ 73,223 $101,300 $111,112
Salvage value is expected to be zero at the end of each project. Depreciation is computed by the straight-line method. The company%u2019s required rate of return is the company%u2019s cost of capital which is 12%.

Explanation / Answer


NPV a = - 188710 + (25500 + 188710/5)/1.12 + (16007 + 188710/5)/1.12^2+ (13449 + 88710/5)/1.12^3 + (10160 + 188710/5)/1.12^4 + (8107 +188710/5)/1.12^5

= -10735.87 = -10736


NPV b = - 219600 + (20,260 + 219600/5) / 1.12^1 + (20,260 + 219600/5) / 1.12^2 + (20,260 + 219600/5) / 1.12^3 + (20,260 + 219600/5) / 1.12^4 + (20,260 + 219600/5) / 1.12^5

= 11754.53 = 11755


NPVc = - 250720 + (26172 +250720/5) / 1.12^1 + (24001+250720/5) / 1.12^2 + (23444+250720/5) / 1.12^3 + (17436+250720/5) / 1.12^4 + (20060+250720/5) / 1.12^5

= 11689.65 = 11690
