View Policies Current Attempt in Progress u3 Company is considering three long-term capital investment proposals. Each investment has a useful life of 5 years. Relevant data on each project are as follows Project Bono $168.000 Project Edge $183.750 Project Clayton $202.000 Capital investment Annual net income: Year 1 2 3 14,700 14,700 14.700 14,700 14,700 $73,500 18,900 17,850 16,800 12.600 9.450 $75,600 28.350 24.150 22,050 13,650 12,600 $100,800 4 5 Total Depreciation is computed by the straight-line method with no salvage value.

Many of the students attending the university are from the metropolitan area and visit their homes regularly on the weekends. Lon, an entrepreneur at heart, realizes that few good commuting alternatives are available for students doing weekend travel. He believes that a weekend commuting service could be organized and run profitably from several suburban and downtown shopping mall locations. Lon has gathered the following investment information 1. 2. 3 Five used vans would cost a total of $75,088 to purchase and would have a 3-year useful life with negligible salvage value. Lon plans to use straight-line depreciation Ten drivers would have to be employed at a total payroll expense of $47.900. Other annual out-of-pocket expenses associated with running the commuter service would include Gasoline $15,800, Maintenance $3,400, Repairs $4,000, Insurance $4,000, and Advertising $2,500. Lon has visited several financial institutions to discuss funding. The best interest rate he has been able to negotiate is 15%. Use this rate for cost of capital. Lon expects each van to make ten round trips weekly and carry an average of six students each trip. The service is expected to operate 30 weeks each year, and each student will be charged $12 for a round-trip ticket. 4. 5. Click here to view PV table.

Option A would have an initial lower cost but would require a significant expenditure for rebuilding after 4 years. Option B would require no rebuilding expenditure, but its maintenance costs would be higher. Since the Option B machine is of initial higher quality, it is expected to have a salvage value at the end of its useful life. The following estimates were made of the cash flows. The company's cost of capital is 7%. Option A Option B Initial cost $155,000 $262.000 Annual cash inflows $70,700 $80,400 Annual cash outflows $32,000 $25.700 Cost to rebuild (end of year 4) $48,300 SO Salvage value $0 $8.100 Estimated useful life 7 years 7 years Click here to view PV table.

(Hint: To solve for Internal rate of return, experiment with alternative discount rates to arrive at a net present value of zero.) (If the net present value is negative, use either a negative sign preceding the number eg -45 or parentheses eg (45).
