Required:
1a. Compute the average
| Average Rate of Return | |
| Front-End Loader | fill in the blank 1% |
| Greenhouse | fill in the blank 2% |
1b. Compute the net present value for each investment. Use the present value of $1 table above. If required, round to the nearest dollar. If required, use the minus sign to indicate a negative net present value.
| Front-End Loader | Greenhouse | |
| Present value of net cash flow | $fill in the blank 3 | $fill in the blank 4 |
| Amount to be invested | fill in the blank 5 | fill in the blank 6 |
| Net present value | $fill in the blank 7 | $fill in the blank 8 |
2. Prepare a brief report for the capital investment committee, advising it on the relative merits of the two investments.
The front-end loader has a
net present value because cash flows occur
in time compared to the greenhouse. Thus, if only one of the two projects can be accepted, the
would be the more attractive.
