X More Info The company is considering two possible expansion plans. Plan A would open eight smaller shops at a cost of $8,425,000. Expected annual net cash inflows are $1,525,000 for 10 years, with zero residual value at the end of 10 years. Under Plan B, Limes Company would open three larger shops at a cost of $8,250,000. This plan is expected to generate net cash inflows of $1,000,000 per year for 10 years, the estimated useful life of the properties. Estimated residual value for Plan Bis 5990,000. Limes Company uses straight-line depreciation and requires an annual return of 7%. Print Done - X Requirements 1. Compute the payback, the ARR, the NPV, and the profitability index of these two plans. 2. What are the strengths and weaknesses of these capital budgeting methods? 3.

Match the term with the strengths and weaknesses listed for each of the four capital budgeting models. Capital Budgeting Method Strengths/Weaknesses of Capital Budgeting Method Is based on cash flows, can be used to assess profitability, and takes into account the time value of money. It has none of the weaknesses of the other models. Is easy to understand, is based on cash flows, and highlights risks. However, it ignores profitability and the time value of money. Can be used to assess profitability, but it ignores the time value of money. It allows us to compare alternative investments in present value terms and it also accounts for differences in the investments initial cost. It has none of the weaknesses of the other models. Requirement 3. Which expansion plan should Limes Company choose? Why? Limes Company should invest in because it has a payback period, a ARR, a net present value, and a profitability index. Requirement 4. Estimate Plan A's IRR. How does the IRR compare with the company's required rate of return? The IRR (internal rate of return) of Plan A is between This rate the company's hurdle rate of 7%
