Question
Green Landscaping, Inc. is using net present value (NPV) when evaluating projects. Green Landscaping's cost of capital is 8.04 percent. What is the NPV of a project if the initial costs are $1,915,222 and the project life is estimated as 10 years? The project will produce the same after-tax cash inflows of $698,670 per year at the end of the year.
Round the answer to two decimal places.

Step 1
Given information is:
Initial investment = $19,15,222
Project life = 10 years
Annual cash inflow = $698,670
Cost of capital = 8.04%
Step 2
Net present value of project = Present value of cash inflows - Initial investment
I don't understand how this answer is derived (in bold). Present value of cash inflows = (Annual cash inflows * Present value factor @8.04% for 10 years)
= 698670 * 6.6979
= $46,79,621.79
Net present value of project = 46,79,621.79 - 1915222
= $27,64,399.79

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)?arrow_forwardNet present value method, internal rate of return method, and analysis for a service company The management of Advanced Alternative Power Inc. is considering two capital investment projects. The estimated net cash flows from each project are as follows: The wind turbines require an investment of 887,600, while the biofuel equipment requires an investment of 911,100. No residual value is expected from either project. Instructions 1. Compute the following for each project: A. The net present value. Use a rate of 6% and the present value of an annuity table appearing in Exhibit 5 of this chapter. B. A present value index. (Round to two decimal places.) 2. Determine the internal rate of return for each project by (A) computing a present value factor for an annuity of 1 and (B) using the present value of an annuity of 1 table appearing in Exhibit 5 of this chapter. 3.

- 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?arrow_forwardBouvier Restaurant is considering an investment in a grill that costs $140,000, and will produce annual net cash flows of $21,950 for 8 years.
