A medical device manufacturer is considering three different methods to manufacture the device that should provide similar reliability and quality of the device. Based upon the present worth analysis, which method should be selected, based upon the following cash flows and a MARR of 20% per year. What are the present values of each method? Project Initial investment, S Operating cost, S/year Revenue, S/year Salvage value, S Life, years A -400,000 -80,000 360,000 2 B -520,000 -120,000 235,000 22,000 4 C -610,000 -275,000 400,000 60,000 8

Gina Ripley, president of Dearing Company, is considering the purchase of a computer-aided manufacturing system. The annual net cash benefits and savings associated with the system are described as follows: The system will cost 9,000,000 and last 10 years. The companys cost of capital is 12 percent. Required: 1. Calculate the payback period for the system. Assume that the company has a policy of only accepting projects with a payback of five years or less. Would the system be acquired? 2. Calculate the NPV and IRR for the project. Should the system be purchasedeven if it does not meet the payback criterion? 3. The project manager reviewed the projected cash flows and pointed out that two items had been missed. First, the system would have a salvage value, net of any tax effects, of 1,000,000 at the end of 10 years. Second, the increased quality and delivery performance would allow the company to increase its market share by 20 percent. This would produce an additional annual net benefit of 300,000. Recalculate the payback period, NPV, and IRR given this new information. (For the IRR computation, initially ignore salvage value.) Does the decision change? Suppose that the salvage value is only half what is projected. Does this make a difference in the outcome? Does salvage value have any real bearing on the companys decision?
Your company is planning to purchase a new log splitter for is lawn and garden business. The new splitter has an initial investment of $180,000. It is expected to generate $25,000 of annual cash flows, provide incremental cash revenues of $150,000, and incur incremental cash expenses of $100,000 annually. What is the payback period and accounting rate of return (ARR)?
Compare the following two alternatives by the IRR method, given MARR of 6%/year. First find if they are feasible and then compare them with the incremental rate of return (AROR). Alt.

ABC Service can purchase a new assembler for $15,052 that will provide an annual net cash flow of $6,000 per year for five years. Calculate the NP of the assembler if the required rate of return is 12%. Show calculation. Would you accept/reject a project based on NPV decision criteria? Why? Based on NPV calculated in part A, determine Profitability Index (PI). Show calculation. Would you accept/reject a project based on PI decision criteria? Why?
A firm by the name “Modern Nursing Care” is considering two projects for investment in biomedical plant.

A company that manufactures magnetic flow meters expects to undertake a project that will have the cash flows below. At an interest rate of 10% per year, what is the equivalent annual cost of the project? Find the AW value using (a) tabulated factors, (b) calculator functions, and (c) a spreadsheet. Which method did you find the easiest to use?
The most possible values of an investment project are as follows: First cost, $ 300,000 Annual operating cost, $ 10,000 Annual benefit, $ 120,000 Salvage value, $ 80,000 Life, year 30 MARR per year 15% The most uncertain parameters are annual operating cost and annual benefit. Perform a multiparameter sensitivity analysis and write your conclusions. Consider the cash flow given. Calculate the payback period with time value. Calculate the B/C ratios based on both PW and AW.
