Cardinal Company is considering a five-year project that would require a $2,945,000 investment in equipment with a useful life of five years and no salvage value. The company's discount rate is 18%. The project would provide net operating income in each of five years as follows: Required: 1. Which item(s) in the income statement shown above will not affect cash flows? (You may select more than one answer.

Any boxes left with a question mark will be automatically graded as incorrect.) Sales Variable expenses Advertising, salaries, and other fixed out-of-pocket costs expenses Depreciation expense 2. What are the project's annual net cash inflows? 3. What is the present value of the project's annual net cash inflows? (Round your final answer to the nearest whole dollar amount.) 4. What is the project's net present value? (Round final answe the nearest whole dollar amount.) 5. What is the profitability index for this project? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) 6. What is the proiect's internal rate of return? 7. What is the project's payback period? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) 8. What is the project's simple rate of return for each of the five years? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) 9. If the company's discount rate was 20% instead of 18%, would you expect the project's net present value to be higher, lower, or the same? 10. If the equipment had a salvage value of $300,000 at the end of five years, would you expect the project's payback period to be higher, lower, or the same? 11. If the equipment had a salvage value of $300,000 at the end of five years, would you expect the project's net present value to be higher, lower, or the same? 12. If the equipment had a salvage value of $300,000 at the end of five years, would you expect the project's simple rate of return to be higher, lower, or the same? 13. Assume a postaudit showed that all estimates (including total sales) were exactly correct except for the variable expense ratio, which actually turned out to be 45%. What was the project's actual net present value? (Negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign. Round intermediate calculations and final answer to the nearest whole dollar amount.) 14. Assume a postaudit showed that all estimates (including total sales) were exactly correct except for the variable expense ratio, which actually turned out to be 45%. What was the project's actual payback period? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) 15. Assume a postaudit showed that all estimates (including total sales) were exactly correct except for the variable expense ratio, which actually turned out to be 45%. What was the project's actu simple rate of return? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
