Question

The following information covers Problems 1 to3 A consulting company is interested in buying a new complete computer system with printers, plotters and servers. The purchased price is $1,200,000 and a life span that minimizes the EUAC. The salvage price of the complete computer m is $300,415 The revenue/saving and cost information based on previous records for a similar company is as follows: Monthly Saving/Revenue $93,200 $94,000 $93,000 Total Monthly Cost $74,100 $74,000 $74,200 $1,700,000 Year 2013 2014 2015 $1,500,000 $1,300,000 $1,100,000 $900,000 $700,000 $500,000 Problem 1: (50 Points) A) Determine the most economical life span B) Determine the average annual expected revenue with a certainty of 95% C) Determine the average annual expected cost with a certainty of 95% D) Determine the internal rate of return for this computer system E) If the company does not have funds to purchase the computer system, determine the equal annual payment of the loan based on a 4% interest rate

Explanation / Answer

STEP:1 Determinig most economical life span value in ($)

            Cost of a computer                                            =         1200000

        Less: Solvage value                                               =         (300415)

         useful value of computers                                     =          899585

        most economical life span    = $899585/$200000 = 4years 6months

Note: Based on $200000 straight line value of depreciation in a diagram economical life span of 1200000 cost of computers are identified.

STEP:2 Determinig average annual expected revenue with certanty of 95%

Particulars                                                          2013             2014              2015

1.Annual savings                                                 93200            94000            93000

Less:Annual cost                                                (74100)         (74000)          (74200)

Annual profits                                                      19100            20000            18800

Average rate of return on investments            = Average annual profits / Average investments

average profits                                              = 19100+20000+18800/3years   =     45366.67

average investments                                      = 74100+74000+74200/3years   =     172833.33

                                                                   = 45366.67/172833.33*100               = 26%

Year     annual investments    average rate of return ARR     probability      average expected return

2013          74100                        26%                           19266        95%             (19266*95%)    = 18302.7

2014          74000                        26%                           19240        95%             (19240*95%)    = 18278

2015          74200                        26%                           19292        95%             (19292*95%)    = 18327.4

                                                 Total average annual return                                                           54908.1

STEP3:Determining average annual expected cost with certainty of 95%

                             Total average annual cost        = 172833.33

Expected annual average cost at probability of 95% = 172833.33*95% =164191.66

STEP:4Determinig internal rate of return

               Particulars                                           2013              2014           2015

     1.cash inflows                                               93200             94000          93000

     2.Present value factors@5% discount     0.9524          0.9070    0.8638

         (1/(1+r)whole power n)

     3.present value of cash flows(A)                       88764              85258           80333      =Total   254355

     4.present value of cash outflows(B)                   74100              74000           74200      =Total   222300

     5.Net present value (A-B) = 32055

        Particulars                                           2013              2014           2015

     1.cash inflows                                               93200             94000          93000

     2.Present value factors@26% discount .7937       0.6299 0.4999

         (1/(1+r)whole power n)

     3.present value of cash flows(A)                       73973             59211        46491      =Total   179675

     4.present value of cash outflows(B)                   74100              74000           74200 =Total   222300

     5.Net present value (A-B)     =    (42625)

calculation of IRR = 5+ 32055/32055-(42625)*21% =14.01%(APPROX)

STEP:5 Determinig of equal annual payments @4% interest rate

                    annual present value factor for 3 years @4% rate = 0.9615+0.9246+0.8890 =2.7751

                                          Initial investment /Annual present value factor = annual equal payment

                                    =           $1200000-$300415/207751 = $324163 per annum
