After Hours requires an investment of $913,600, while Sun Fun requires an investment of $880,730. 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 10% 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. What advantage does the internal rate of return method have over the net present value method in comparing projects?

Use the following data to answer questions (a) to (d). Show your working method.A company is considering the purchase of a copier that costs RM 50,000. Assume the required rate of return is 10% and the following is cash flow schedule: Year 1: RM 20,000 Year 2: RM 30,000 Year 3: RM 20,000 (a) What is the project’s payback period?(b) What is the project’s NPV?(c) What is the project’s IRR?(d) What is the project’s profitability index (PI)?
NOTE: Provide a format and show your work (example: N = 6, PV = XXX, I = X%, etc.)
1. As the project manager at Jelz, Inc., you are considering a project that will cost $4,276 and produce cash flows of $1,050 in year 1, $1,250 in year 2, $1,250 in year 3, and $1,550 in year 4. Find the rate of return for the project and determine if you should take the project if your required rate of return is 7.15%. (This is a 2 part question, make sure you answer both parts. Numerical answers should be rounded to 2 decimal places.)
2. You are looking to buy a car. You can afford $550 in monthly payments for five years. In addition to the loan, you can make a $6,000 down payment. If interest rates are 7.25 percent APR, what price of car can you afford (loan plus down payment)? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your final answer to 2 decimal places.)
