A division is considering the acquisition of a new asset that will cost $2,960,000 and have a cash flow of $790,000 per year for each of the four years of its life. Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis with no salvage value. Ignore taxes. Required: a. & b. What is the ROI for each year of the asset's life if the division uses beginning-of-year asset balances and net book value for the computation? What is the residual income each year if the cost of capital is 8 percent? (Enter "ROI" answers as a percentage rounded to 1 decimal place (i.e., 32.1). Negative amounts should be indicated by a minus sign.) Year Investment Base ROI Residual Income 1 $2,960,000 % 2 % 3 % 4 %
Harbor Division has total assets (net of accumulated depreciation) of $542,000 at the beginning of year 1. Harbor also leases a machine for $23,000 annually.

Harbor can cancel the lease on the machine without penalty at any time and is considering disposing of it today (the beginning of year 1). Required: a. Harbor computes ROI using beginning-of-the-year net assets. What will the divisional ROI be for year 1 assuming Harbor retains the leased machine? (Enter your answer as a percentage rounded to 1 decimal place (i.e., 32.1).) b. What would divisional ROI be for year 1 assuming Harbor disposes of the leased machine? (Enter your answer as a percentage rounded to 1 decimal place (i.e., 32.1).) c. Harbor computes residual income using beginning-of-the-year net assets.

Mala Prohibita Inc. is evaluating a proposal to acquire a new equipment. The equipment would require an investment of P417,860, including freight and installation cost of P40,000. It expected to have a 10- year life with no scrap value at the end of its life. It has been estimated that the new equipment would increase the company's cash inflows, net of expenses and income taxes by P68,000. The company can issue its 7% P1,000 par value bond to fund the project. The same type of bond is available in the market at P932.04836 per bond with interest payable semi-annually for ten years. The company is subject to 32% income tax. Determine the Cost of Capital (k) Using NPV and IRR method, give your recommendation if the company should push the project or not. Explain your answer.
