Determine each projects net present value using 8% as the discount rate. Assume that cash flows occur at each year-end.

Most Company has an opportunity to invest in one of two new projects. Project Y requires a $335,000 investment for new machinery with a six-year life and no salvage value. Project Z requires a $335,000 investment for new machinery with a five-year life and no salvage value. The two projects yield the following predicted annual results. The company uses straight-line depreciation, and cash flows occur evenly throughout each year. (PV of $1, FV of $1, PVA of $1, and FVA of $1 (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided.)

Compute each project's annual expected net cash flows. Project Y Project Z 2. Determine each project's payback period. Payback Period Choose Numerator: 7 Choose Denominator: = Payback Period Payback period Project Y Project Z 3. Compute each project's accounting rate of return. Accounting Rate of Return 1 Choose Denominator: Choose Numerator: = Accounting Rate of Return Accounting rate of return = Project Y Project Z Project Y Chart values are based on: Amount X PV Factor - Present Value Net present value Project Z Chart values are based on: Select Chart Amount X PV Factor = Present Value Net present value
