* Question 1 Vilas Company is considering a capital investment of $190,300 in additional productive facilities. The new machinery is expected to have a useful life of 5 years with no salvage value. Depreciation is by the straight-line method. During the life of the investment, annual net income and net annual cash flows are expected to be $13,800 and $49,000, respectively, Vilas has a 12% cost of capita rate w ich isthe required rate of return on heim estment Click here to view PV table. Compute the cash payback period. (Round answer to 2 decimal places, e.g. 10.50 Cash payback period Compute the annual rate of return on the proposed capital expenditure. (Round answer to 2 decimal places, e.g. 10.50.) Annual rate of return (b? Using the discounted cash flow technique, compute the net present value. (If the net present value is negative, use either a negative sign preceding the number e.g. -45 or parentheses e.g. (45). Round answer for present value to decimal places, e.g. 125. For calculation purposes, use 5 decimal places as displayed in the factor table provided) Net present value Question Attempts: 0 of 3 used

Explanation / Answer

a) Cash payback period = Initial investment/Annual net cash flow

= 190300/49000

Cash payback period = 3.88 years

Annual rate of return = Average net income*100/Average investment

Average investment = 190300/2 = 95150

Annual rate of return = 13800*100/95150 = 14.50%

c) Net present value = Present value of cash inflow-Present value of cash outflow

= (49000*3.60478)-190300

Net present value = -13666
