Question
*Only project on is correct. Show me steps
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. Project 1: Retooling Manufacturing Facility This project would require an initial investment of $5,000,000. It would generate $892,000 in additional net cash flow each year. The new machinery has a useful life of eight years and a salvage value of $1,036,000. Project 2: Purchase Patent for New Product The patent would cost $3,505,000, which would be fully amortized over five years. Production of this product would generate $490,700 additional annual net income for Hearne. Project 3: Purchase a New Fleet of Delivery Trucks Hearne could purchase 25 new delivery trucks at a cost of $130,000 each. The fleet would have a useful life of 10 years, and each truck would have a salvage value of $5,300. Purchasing the fleet would allow Hearne to expand its customer territory resulting in $455,000 of additional net income per year.
Required:
1. Determine each project's accounting rate of return.
Determine each project's payback period
Payback Period
Project 1 5.61 Years
Project 2 7.14 Years
Project 3 7.14 Years
Using a discount rate of 10 percent, calculate the net present value of each project. (Future Value of $1, Present Value of $1, Future Value Annuity of $1, Present Value Annuity of $1.)
Net Present Value
Project 1 $242,055.83
Project 2 $(1,644,860.93)
Project 3 $2,795,778.04
Determine the profitability index of each project and prioritize the projects for Hearne.
Profitability Index /Rank
Project 1 ? 3
Project 2 ? 2
Project 3 ? 1
Accounting Rate of Return Project 1 7.93 % Project 2 (6.00) % Project 3 4.41 %Explanation / Answer
Determining ARR ( Accounting rate of return )
ARR = Net Income / Investment * 100
Here Net Income = Annual cash flow - Depreciation and Depreciation = (Cost - Salvage) / Life
CALCULATION OF PAYBACK PERIOD
Pay back period = Investment / Annual cash in flow.
Project - 1 we are already given with annual cash inflow. But for project - 2 and 3 we calculate it as Net Income + Depreciation
CALCULATION OF PROFITABILITY INDEX
Profitability Index = 1 + NPV/Investment
Project - 1 Project - 2 Project - 3 Annual cash flow 892000 (-) Depreciation 495500 Net Income 396500 490700 455000 Investment 5000000 3505000 3250000 ARR = 7.93 14 14Related Questions
