Determine the payback period of the investment. 2. Would the payback period be affected if the cash inflow in the last year were several times as large? Complete this question by entering your answers in the tabs below. Required 1 Required 2 Determine the payback period of the investment. (Round your answer to 1 decimal place.) Payback period years The management of Kunkel Company is considering the purchase of a $28.000 machine that would reduce operating costs by $7,000 per year. At the end of the machine's five-year useful life, it will have zero salvage value. The company's required rate of return is 13%. Click here to view Exhibit 14B-1 and Exhibit 14B-2, to determine the appropriate discount factor(s) using table. Required: 1. Determine the net present value of the investment in the machine. 2. What is the difference between the total, undiscounted cash inflows and cash outflows over the entire life of the machine? Complete this question by entering your answers in the tabs below. Required 1 Required 2 Determine the net present value of the investment in the machine. (Negative amounts should be indicated by a minus sign. Round your final answer to the nearest whole dollar amount. Use the appropriate table to determine the discount factor(s).) Net present value Required 1 Required 2 > Wendell's Donut Shoppe is investigating the purchase of a new $47,300 donut-making machine. The new machine would permit the company to reduce the amount of part-time help needed, at a cost savings of $6,300 per year. In addition, the new machine would allow the company to produce one new style of donut, resulting in the sale of 2,600 dozen more donuts each year. The company realizes a contribution margin of $1.50 per dozen donuts sold. The new machine would have a six-year useful life. Click here to view Exhibit 14B-1 and Exhibit 14B-2, to determine the appropriate discount factor(s) using tables. Required: 1. What would be the total annual cash inflows associated with the new machine for capital budgeting purposes? 2. What discount factor should be used to compute the new machine's internal rate of return? (Round your answers to 3 decimal places.) 3. What is the new machine's internal rate of return? (Round your final answer to the nearest whole percentage.) 4. In addition to the data given previously, assume that the machine will have a $13,605 salvage value at the end of six years. Under these conditions, what is the internal rate of return? (Hint: You may find it helpful to use the net present value approach; find the discount rate that will cause the net present value to be closest to zero.) (Round your final answer to the nearest whole percentage.) 1. Annual cash inflows 2. Discount factor 3. Internal rate of return 4. Internal rate of return % % Information on four investment proposals is given below: Investment Proposal A B C D Investment required $ (60,000) $ (130,000) $ (140,000) $ (2,100,000) Present value of cash inflows 86,600 181,100 213,900 2,803,200 Net present value $ 26,600 $ 51,100 $ 73,900 $ 703,200 Life of the project 5 years 7 years 6 years 6 years Required: 1. Compute the profitability index for each investment proposal. (Round your answers to 2 decimal places.) 2. Rank the proposals in terms of preference. Investment Profitability Proposal Index Rank Preference B D The management of Ballard Micro Brew is considering the purchase of an automated bottling machine for $62,000. The machine would replace an old piece of equipment that costs $16,000 per year to operate. The new machine would cost $7,000 per year to operate. The old machine currently in use is fully depreciated and could be sold now for a salvage value of $23,000. The new machine would have a useful life of 10 years with no salvage value. Required: 1. What is the annual depreciation expense associated with the new bottling machine? 2. What is the annual incremental net operating income provided by the new bottling machine? 3. What is the amount of the initial investment associated with this project that should be used for calculating the simple rate of return? 4. What is the simple rate of return on the new bottling machine? (Round your answer to 1 decimal place i.e. 0.123 should be considered as 12.3%.) 1. Depreciation expense 2. Incremental net operating income 3. Initial investment 4. Simple rate of return %
