The average rate of return method of analyzing capital budgeting decisions measures the average rate of return from using the asset over its entire life.

A company is considering purchasing a machine for $21,000. The machine will generate income from operations of $2,000; annual net cash flows from the machine will be $3,500. The payback period for the new machine is 10.5 years.

Which of the following are two methods of analyzing capital investment proposals that both ignore present value?

The management of California Corporation is considering the purchase of a new machine costing $400,000. The company's desired rate of return is 10%. The present value factors for $1 at compound interest of 10% for 1 through 5 years are 0.909, 0.826, 0.751, 0.683, and 0.621, respectively. In addition to the foregoing information, use the following data in determining the acceptability of this investment: $\begin{array} { l l l } & \text { Income from } & \text { Net Cash } \\\text { Year } & \text { Operations } & \text { Flow } \\1 & \$ 100,000 & \$ 180,000 \\2 & 40,000 & 120,000 \\3 & 20,000 & 100,000 \\4 & 10,000 & 90,000 \\5 & 10,000 & 90,000\end{array}$ The present value index for this investment is

A company is contemplating investing in a new piece of manufacturing machinery. The amount to be invested is $100,000. The present value of the future cash flows at the company's desired rate of return is $100,000. The IRR on the project is 12%. Which of the following statements is true?

A project has estimated annual cash flows of $90,000 for 3 years and is estimated to cost $250,000. Assume a minimum acceptable rate of return of 10%. Using the following tables, determine the a) net present value of the project and b) the present value index, rounded to two decimal places. Below is a table for the present value of $1 at compound interest. $\begin{array} { l l l l } \text { Year } & 6 \% & 10 \% & 12 \% \\\hline 1 & 0.943 & 0.909 & 0.893 \\2 & 0.890 & 0.826 & 0.797 \\3 & 0.840 & 0.751 & 0.712 \\4 & 0.792 & 0.683 & 0.636 \\5 & 0.747 & 0.621 & 0.567\end{array}$ Below is a table for the present value of an annuity of $1 at compound interest. $\begin{array} { l l l l } \text { Year } & 6 \% & 10 \% & 12 \% \\\hline 1 & 0.943 & 0.909 & 0.893 \\2 & 1.833 & 1.736 & 1.690 \\3 & 2.673 & 2.487 & 2.402 \\4 & 3.465 & 3.170 & 3.037 \\5 & 4.212 & 3.791 & 3.605\end{array}$

What is capital investment analysis? Why are capital investment analysis decisions often difficult and risky?

Methods that ignore present value in capital investment analysis include the average rate of return method.

Proposals A and B each cost $600,000 and have 5-year lives. Proposal A is expected to provide equal annual net cash flows of $159,000, while the net cash flows for Proposal B are as follows: $\begin{array} { l l } \text { Year 1 } & \$ 150,000 \\\text { Year 2 } & 140,000 \\\text { Year 3 } & 110,000 \\\text { Year 4 } & 150,000 \\\text { Year 5 } &{ 50,000 }\\& { \$ 600,000 }\end{array}$ Determine the cash payback period for each proposal. Round answers to two decimal places.

Sunrise Inc. is considering a capital investment proposal that costs $227,500 and has an estimated life of 4 years and no residual value. The estimated net cash flows are as follows: $\begin{array} { l l } \text { Year } & \text { Net Cash Flow } \\1 & \$ 97,500 \\2 & 80,000 \\3 & 60,000 \\4 & 40,000\end{array}$ The minimum desired rate of return for net present value analysis is 10%. The present value of $1 at compound interest rates of 10% for 1, 2, 3, and 4 years is 0.909, 0.826, 0.751, and 0.683, respectively. Determine the net present value. Round interim answers to the nearest dollar.
