Average Rate of Return Method, Net Present Value Method, and Analysis The capital investment committee of Ellis Transport and Storage Inc. is considering two investment projects. The estimated income from operations and net cash flows from each investment are as follows: Warehouse Tracking Technology Income from Net Cash Income from Net Cash Year Operations Flow Operations Flow 1 $59,400 $194,000 $125,000 $310,000 2 59,400 194,000 95,000 262,000 3 59,400 194,000 48,000 184,000 4 4 59,400 194,000 21,000 126,000 5 59,400 194,000 8,000 88,000 Total 5297,000 5970,000 5297,000 5970,000 Each project requires an investment of $540,000. Straight-line depreciation will be used, and no residual value is expected. The committee has selected a rate of 15% for purposes of the net present value analysis.

Compute the average rate of return for each investment. If required, round your answer to one decimal place. . Average Rate of Return Warehouse % Tracking Technology % 1b. Compute the net present value for each investment. Use the present value of $1 table above. If required, use the minus sign to indicate a negative net present value. Warehouse Tracking Technology Present value of net cash flow total Less amount to be invested Net present value 2. The warehouse has a net present value as tracking technology cash flows occur in time. Thus, if only one of the two projects can be accepted, the would be the more attractive
