Question

1)Mecha Oil Company is considering investing in a new oil well. It is expected that the oil well will increase annual revenues by $131,500 and will increase annual expenses by $87,800 including depreciation. The oil well will cost $445,000 and will have a $10,500 salvage value at the end of its 10-year useful life. Calculate the annual rate of return.

2) Wallowa Company is considering a long-term investment project called ZIP. ZIP will require an investment of $115,900. It will have a useful life of 4 years and no salvage value. Annual cash inflows would increase by $79,750, and annual cash outflows would increase by $41,780. Compute the cash payback period

3)Wallowa Company is considering a long-term investment project called ZIP. ZIP will require an investment of $119,319. It will have a useful life of 4 years and no salvage value. Annual cash inflows would increase by $80,530, and annual cash outflows would increase by $41,690. The company’s required rate of return is 11%. Calculate the net present value on this project.

Explanation / Answer

2./ CALCULATION OF PAY BACK PERIOD

YEAR     CASH INFLOW   CASH OUT FLOW NET CASH FLOW     CUMULATIVE CASH FLOW

1 $79750 $41780 $37970 $37970

2 79750 41780 37970 75940

3 79750 41780 37970 113910

4 79750 41780 37970 151880

PAY BACK PERIOD= 3 YEAR + CUMULATIVE CASH FLOW OF YEAR 3 / CASH FLOW OF YEAR 4

=3 + 113910 / 151880

=3 + 0.75

=3.75 YEAR OR 3YEAR 9 MONTHS

3./ CALCULATION OF NPV

INITIAL INVESTMENT IN YEAR 0= $119319

CASH INFLOW EACH YEAR FROM YAER 1 TO YEAR 4 =$80530

CASH OUT FLOW EACH YAER FROM YEAR 1 TO YEAR 4 =$41690

NET CASH FLOW EACH YEAR FROM YEAR 1 TO YEAR 4 =$38840

PRESENT VALUE ANNUITY FACTOR @11% FOR 4 YEAR =3.102

DISCOUNTED CASH FLOW FOR FOUR YEAR =$120481

TOTAL DISCOUNTED CASH INFLOW IN FOUR YEAR=$120481

LESS- INITIAL INVESTMENT =$119319

   NPV =$1162
