Question

.3.00 points Hearne Company has a number of potential capital Investments, Because these projects vary in nature. nital investment, and time horizon, management is finding it difficult tb compare them. Assume straight B depreciation method is used. Project 1: Retooling Manufacturing Facility This project would require an initial investment of $4,850,000.It would generate $865,000 in additional cash fow each year. The new machinery has a useful life of eight years and a salvage value of $1,000,0 Project 2: Purchase Patent for New Product The patent would cost $3,400,000, which would be fully amortized over five years Production of this product would generate $425,000 additional annual net income for Heame. Project 3: Purchase a New Fleet of Delivery Trucks Heame could purchase 25 new delivery trucks at a oost of $115,000each The feet would have a useful le of 10 years, and each truck would have a sahage v to expand its customer temitory resulting in $200,000 of additional net income per year value of $5,000. Purchasing the feet would allow Heame Deemine each popecrs acountrg rate of retm (Round your answe, to 2 decimal 791% Project 1 Project 2 Project 3 12.50 % 2. Determine each projact's payback period.

Explanation / Answer

Project 1

Initial Investment = 4850000

Annual Cash Flow = 865000

Salvage Value = 1000000

Useful Life = 8

Annual Depreciation = (Cost - Salvage Value)/Useful Life

Annual Depreciation = (4850000-1000000)/8

Annual Depreciation = 481250

Annual Net Income = Annual Cash Flow - Annual Depreciation

Annual Net Income = 865000-481250

Annual Net Income = 383750

Average Investment = (Initial Investment + Salvage Value)/2

Average Investment =  (4850000+1000000)/2

Average Investment = 2925000

Accounting Rate of Return = Annual Net Income/Average Investment

Accounting Rate of Return = 383750/2925000

Accounting Rate of Return = 13.12%

Project Payback period = Initial Investment/Annual Cash Flow

Project Payback period = 4850000/865000

Project Payback period = 5.61 year

NPV = -Initial Investment + Annual Cash flow *PVIFA(rate,nper) + Salvage Value*PVIF(rate,nper)

NPV = - 4850000 + 865000*PVIFA(10%,8) + 1000000*PVIF(10%,8)

NPV = - 4850000 + 865000*5.33493 + 1000000*0.46651

NPV = $ 231,224.45

PI = (1+ NPV/Initial Investment)

PI = (1+ 231224.45/4850000)

PI = 1.0477

Project 2

Initial Investment = 3400000

Annual Net Income = 425000

Useful Life = 5

Annual Amortisation = (Cost - Salvage Value)/Useful Life

Annual Amortisation = (3400000-0)/5

Annual Amortisation = 680000

Annual Cash Flow = Net Income + Amortisation cost

Annual Cash Flow = 425000+680000

Annual Cash Flow = 1105000

Average Investment = (Initial Investment + Salvage Value)/2

Average Investment =  (3400000+0)/2

Average Investment = 1700000

Accounting Rate of Return = Annual Net Income/Average Investment

Accounting Rate of Return = 425000/1700000

Accounting Rate of Return = 25%

Project Payback period = Initial Investment/Annual Cash Flow

Project Payback period = 3400000/1105000

Project Payback period = 3.08 year

NPV = -Initial Investment + Annual Cash flow *PVIFA(rate,nper) + Salvage Value*PVIF(rate,nper)

NPV = - 3400000 + 1105000*PVIFA(10%,5)

NPV = - 3400000 + 1105000*3.79079

NPV = $ 788,822.95

PI = (1+ NPV/Initial Investment)

PI = (1+ 788822.95/3400000)

PI = 1.2320

Project 3

Initial Investment = 25*115000 = 2875000

Annual Net Income = 200000

Salvage Value = 5000*25 = 125000

Useful Life = 10

Annual Depreciation = (Cost - Salvage Value)/Useful Life

Annual Depreciation = (2875000-125000)/10

Annual Depreciation = 275000

Annual Cash Flow = Net Income + Depreciation

Annual Cash Flow = 120000+275000

Annual Cash Flow = 395000

Average Investment = (Initial Investment + Salvage Value)/2

Average Investment =  (2875000+125000)/2

Average Investment = 1500000

Accounting Rate of Return = Annual Net Income/Average Investment

Accounting Rate of Return = 120000/1500000

Accounting Rate of Return = 8%

Project Payback period = Initial Investment/Annual Cash Flow

Project Payback period = 2875000/395000

Project Payback period = 7.28 year

NPV = -Initial Investment + Annual Cash flow *PVIFA(rate,nper) + Salvage Value*PVIF(rate,nper)

NPV = - 2875000 + 395000*PVIFA(10%,10) + 125000*PVIF(10%,10)

NPV = - 2875000 + 395000*6.14457 + 125000*0.38554

NPV = - $ 399,702.35

PI = (1+ NPV/Initial Investment)

PI = (1- 399702.35/2875000)

PI = 0.8610
