Question

Hearne Company has a number of potential capital investments. Because these projects vary in nature, initial investment, and time horizon, management is finding it difficult to compare them. Assume straight line depreciation method is used.

   

This project would require an initial investment of $5,200,000. It would generate $928,000 in additional net cash flow each year. The new machinery has a useful life of eight years and a salvage value of $1,084,000.

The patent would cost $3,645,000, which would be fully amortized over five years. Production of this product would generate $583,200 additional annual net income for Hearne.

Explanation / Answer

AVERAGE RATE OF RETURN (ARR)

= AVERAGE ACCOUNTING PROFIT / AVERAGE INVESTMENT

= $600000 / ($150000 * 25)

= 0.16 OR 16%

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NPV

INIITIAL CASH FLOW = $150000 * 25 = $3750000

INBETWEEN CASH FLOW

= $600000 + DEPRECIATION

= $600000 + [($150000 - $5700) / 10] * 25

= $960750

TERMINAL CASH FLOW

= $5700 * 25

= $142500

NPV = ($3750000) + $960750 * PVIFA 10%, 10 PERIODS + $142500 * PVIF 10%, 10 PERIOD

= ($3750000) + $960750 * 6.1446 + $142500 * 0.3855

= ($3750000) + $5903424.45 + $54933.75

= $2208358.2

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------PROFITABILITY INDEX

= 1 + (NPV / INITIAL INVESTMENT)

= 1 + ($2208358.2 / $3750000)

= 1 + 0.59

= 1.59
