Quip Corporation wants to purchase a new machine for $300,000.Management predicts that the machine can produce sales of $200,000 each year for the next 5 years.Expenses are expected to include direct materials,direct labor,and factory overhead (excluding depreciation) totaling $80,000 per year.The firm uses the straight-line depreciation and expects the machine to have a residual value of $50,000.Quip's tax rate is 40%.Management requires a minimum of 10% return on all investments.What is the investment's net present value (NPV) of the proposed investment (rounded to the nearest hundred) ? (The PV annuity factor for 10%,5 years,is 3.791 and for 4 years it is 3.17.The present value factor for 10%,5 years,is 0.621. ) Assume that cash inflows occur at year-end.

Which one of the following statements concerning capital budgeting is not true?

Green Leaf Inc.is considering the purchase of a new piece of equipment for $30,000.The projected after-tax net income per year on this investment is estimated to be $5,000.The firm uses straight-line depreciation.This asset is expected to have a useful life of 5 years and no salvage value at the end of its useful life.Management of the company considers a 10% return on investment to be satisfactory.The present value factor for 10%,5 years = 0.621,while the present value annuity factor for 5 years at 10% is 3.791. Required: 1.What is the estimated net present value (NPV)of the machine? 2.What is the profitability index (or,present value index),PI,for this proposed investment? 3.For what purpose is the profitability index (PI)useful,in a capital budgeting context? 4.Use the built-in function in Excel to estimate this project's internal rate of return (IRR). 5.Use the built-in function in Excel to estimate the project's modified internal rate of return (MIRR)under the assumption that the interim cash flows from the investment generate a rate of return of: (a)10%,and (b)20%. 6.How does the MIRR measure differ from the conventional IRR calculation?

Which one of the following is true for the IRR method?

Consider two projects,A and B.The present value (PV) of cash inflows for project A is $55,000,while the present value of cash outflows for this project is $50,000.Project B,on the other hand,has the following characteristics: PV of cash inflows = $24,000;PV of cash outflows = $20,000.Assume that these two projects are mutually exclusive.Assume that the company has adequate capital to fund either investment option.All of the following statements are true except:
