BAP Corporation uses a 12% target rate of return for new investment proposals. (Refer the below table)
Explanation / Answer
1)
cash payback period =year up to which cummulative cash flow is negative + (Cummulative cah flow of that year/cash flow of next year]
= 2 + (21300 / 35800)
= 2+ .59
= 2.59 years
2)AVerage annual income = (9590+10610+14480+15670+19650)/5=70000/5= 14000
Annual rate of return = 14000 / 105400 = .1328 or 13.28%
3)Present value of cash flow =(PVF@12%,1*CF1)+(PVF@12%,2*CF2).......(PVF@12%,5*CF5)
= (.89286* 45000)+(.79719*39100)+(.71178*35800)+(.63552*29600)+(.56743*25900)
= 40178.7+ 31170.13+ 25481.72+ 18811.39+ 14696.44
= 130338.38
NPV = 130338.38 -105400 = 24938.38 [Rounded to 24938 ]
