Textbook Question
Chapter 10, Problem 16QP
Calculating EAC [LO4] A five-year project has an initial fixed asset investment of $290,000, an initial NWC investment of $25,000, and an annual OCF of –$35,000. The fixed asset is fully depreciated over the life of the project and has no salvage value. If the required return is 11 percent, what is this project’s equivalent annual cost, or EAC?

The projects provide a necessary service, so whichever one is selected is expected to be repeated
into the foreseeable future. Both projects have an 11% cost of capital.
6. What is each project's initial NPV without replication?
7. What is each project's equivalent annual annuity?
8. Now apply the replacement chain approach to determine the shorter projects' extended
NPV. Which project should be chosen?
9. Now assume that the cost to replicate Project Y in 2 years will increase to $600,000 because
of inflationary pressures. How should the analysis be handled now, and which project
should be chosen?

7. XYZ Co. is evaluating whether to invest in a project with the following information:
Project cost = $950,000
Project life = five years
Projected number of units sold per year = 10,000
Projected price per unit = $200
Projected variable cost per unit = 150
Fixed costs per year = $150,000
Required rate of return = 15%
Marginal tax rate = 35%
Assume straight-line depreciation to zero over five years, and ignore the half-year rule for accounting for depreciation.
c. Calculate the financial break-even sales quantity for this project.
You are considering an investment opportunity that requires an initial investment of $150 million in period 0. The project will generate only one future payment of $168 million at the end of the first year. The cost of capital is 8% . What is the IRR for the project? [Note that getting the actual value should not require trial and error or a financial calculator, because this is a simple case.]
