Explanation / Answer

1. Accounting rate of return = 9.1%

Accounting Rate of return = (Net Income / Initial Investments) * 100

Depreciation = ($421000 - 52000) / 9 = $41000

Cash Flow = Net Income + Depreciation

                   = $38311 + 41000         = $79311

Accounting Rate of return       = ($38311 / 421000) * 100 = 9.1 %

2. Payback period = 5.31 Years

= Initial Investment / cash flow

= $421000 / $79311

= 5.31 Years

3. Net present value (NPV) at 11% = $38,477

= [ $79311 x (PVAF 11%,9 Years) + $52000 x (PVF 11%,9 Years) ] - $421000

= [ ($79311 x 5.53705) + ($52000 x 0.39092) ] - $421000

= $38,477

4. Net present value (NPV) at 14% = - $12,707 (Negative)

= [ $79311 x (PVAF 14%,9 Years) + $52000 x (PVF 14%,9 Years) ] - $421000

= [ ($79311 x 4.94638) + ($52000 x 0.30751) ] - $421000

= -$12,707 (Negative)
