Question

8 Determining the payback period LO 16-4

Bailey Airline Company is considering expanding its territory. The company has the opportunity to purchase one of two different used airplanes. The first airplane is expected to cost $13,800,000; it will enable the company to increase its annual cash inflow by $6,000,000 per year. The plane is expected to have a useful life of five years and no salvage value. The second plane costs $29,700,000; it will enable the company to increase annual cash flow by $9,900,000 per year. This plane has an eight-year useful life and a zero salvage value.

Determine the payback period for each investment alternative. (Round your answers to 1 decimal place.)

PAYBACK PERIOD

ALTERNATIVE 1 ( ) YEARS

ALTERNATIVE 2 ( ) YEARS

ALTERNATIVE 1 OR ALTERNATIVE 2

7 Determining the internal rate of return LO 16-3

Merton Manufacturing Company has an opportunity to purchase some technologically advanced equipment that will reduce the company’s cash outflow for operating expenses by $1,290,000 per year. The cost of the equipment is $6,408,255.60. Merton expects it to have a 8-year useful life and a zero salvage value. The company has established an investment opportunity hurdle rate of 15 percent and uses the straight-line method for depreciation. (PV of $1 and PVA of $1) (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided.)

INTERNAL RATE OF RETURN ( )%

Indicate whether the investment opportunity should be accepted.

ACCEPTED ( ) OR REJECTED ( )

6 Determining the cash flow annuity with income tax considerations LO 16-2

To open a new store, Linton Tire Company plans to invest $342,000 in equipment expected to have a six -year useful life and no salvage value. Linton expects the new store to generate annual cash revenues of $323,000 and to incur annual cash operating expenses of $187,000. Linton’s average income tax rate is 30 percent. The company uses straight-line depreciation.

Determine the expected annual net cash inflow / outflow for each of the first four years after Linton opens the new store. (Negative amounts should be indicated by a minus sign.)

NET CASH INFLOW/OUTFLOW

YEAR 1 ____________ ________________

YEAR 2 ____________ ________________

YEAR 3 ____________ ________________

YEAR 4 ____________ ________________

5 Using the present value index LO 16-2

Drinkwater Company has a choice of two investment alternatives. The present value of cash inflows and outflows for the first alternative is $92,000 and $86,000, respectively. The present value of cash inflows and outflows for the second alternative is $211,000 and $204,700, respectively.

Calculate the net present value of each investment opportunity.

Payback period = 2+((1/(20484000-13656000))*(13800000-12656000))
                                = 2.17 years

*Tax saving on depreciation =((13800000)/5)*30%

* Assuming tax rate is 30%

payback period = 2+((1/(35046000-23364000))*(29700000-23364000))
                                = 2.54 years

*Tax saving on depreciation =((29700000)/5)*30%

* Assuming tax rate is 30%

a.2 Alternative 1 should be accepted since payback period is lesser than alternative 2

Answer 6

Tax saving on depreciation = =(342000/6)*30%

Annual inflow (323000-187000)=136000
