The management of Saturn Networks Inc. is considering two capital investment projects. The estimated net cash flows

Question:

The management of Saturn Networks Inc. is considering two capital investment projects. The estimated net cash flows from each project are as follows:

Radio Station TV Station Year $420,000 420,000 420,000 420,000 $620,000 620,000 620,000 620,000 4

The radio station requires an investment of $1,275,540, while the TV station requires an investment of $1,770,100. No residual value is expected from either project.
1. Compute the following for each project:

a. The net present value. Use a rate of 10% and the present value of an annuity of $1 table appearing in this chapter (Exhibit 2).
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 this chapter (Exhibit 2).
3.  What advantage does the internal rate of return method have over the net present value method in comparing projects?


Exhibit 2:

Present Value of an Annuity of $1 at Compound Interest Year 6% 10% 12% 15% 20% 0.943 0.909 0.893 0.870 0.833 1.833 1.736
