Question

Transcribed Image Text:**Average Rate of Return Method, Net Present Value Method, and Analysis for a Service Company**
The capital investment committee of Arches Landscaping Company is considering two capital investments. The estimated operating income and net cash flows from each investment are as follows:
| Year | Front-End Loader Operating Income | Front-End Loader Net Cash Flow | Greenhouse Operating Income | Greenhouse Net Cash Flow |
|------|-----------------------------------|-------------------------------|-----------------------------|---------------------------|
| 1 | $46,200 | $145,000 | $97,000 | $232,000 |
| 2 | 46,200 | 145,000 | 74,000 | 196,000 |
| 3 | 46,200 | 145,000 | 37,000 | 138,000 |
| 4 | 46,200 | 145,000 | 16,000 | 94,000 |
| 5 | 46,200 | 145,000 | 7,000 | 65,000 |
| **Total** | **$231,000** | **$725,000** | **$231,000** | **$725,000** |
Each project requires an investment of $420,000. Straight-line depreciation will be used, and no residual value is expected. The committee has selected a rate of 12% for purposes of the net present value analysis.
**Present Value of $1 at Compound Interest**
| Year | 6% | 10% | 12% | 15% | 20% |
|------|------|------|------|------|------|
| 1 | 0.943| 0.909| 0.893| 0.870| 0.833|
| 2 | 0.890| 0.826| 0.797| 0.756| 0.694|
| 3 | 0.840| 0.751| 0.712| 0.658| 0.579|
This table displays the present value of $1 at various interest rates over three years, which is useful for calculating the net present value of future cash flows for investment appraisal.

**Present Value of $1:**
This table provides the present value (PV) of $1 for different interest rates (from 4% to 15%) over the course of 10 years. The table lists the present value factors needed to discount future cash flows to present values.
| Year | 4% | 6% | 8% | 10% | 12% | 15% |
