Adrian Sonnetson, the owner of Adrian Motors, is considering the addition of a paint and body shop to his automobile dealership.Construction of a building and the purchase of necessary equipment is estimated to cost $800,000, and both the building and equipment will be depreciated over 10 years using the straight-line method. The building and equipment have zero estimated residual value at the end of 10 years.Sonnetson’s required rate of return for this project is 12 percent. Net income related to each year of the investment is as follows:
Revenue $646,000 Less:     Material cost 68,700     Labor 149,000     Depreciation 80,000     Other 10,000 Income before taxes 338,300 Taxes at 40% 135,320 Net income $202,980

Explanation / Answer

Net income                                                     $202,980

Add depreciation $80,000

Annual cash flow $282,980

Cash                          Present Value

Flow                            Factor @ 12%                   Total

$282,980                     5.6502                     $1,598,893.60

c.The payback period is approximately 4.1 years:

Initial outlay                                           $800,000      

Annual cash flow                                     $282,980

Cost ÷ annuity = number of years to

recover initial investment                         2.83 years

d. The accounting rate of return is approximately 29%:

Average income                                          $202,980

Average investment ($800,000 ÷ 2)           $400,000

Average income ÷ average investment

=accounting rate of return                           50.75%
