Question
10-3 CORPORATE INCOME TAXES 441 5. Use the portfolio technique to analyze the following choices. Using future worth as the criteria use the portfolio technique to choose between (a) A Certificate of Deposit with a return of 6% per year which must be held for 8 years. (b) A Passbook Saving Account which can be added to at any time is available at a 3% per year interest rate (not a standalone choice). (c) Investment A, Initial Cost 500,000. Increased Net Revenue 400,000 per year each year for 8 years. Salvage Value 30,000 at 8 years. (d) Investment B, Initial Cost 400,000. Increased Net Revenue 350,000 per year each year for 8 years. Salvage Value 20,000 at 8 years. Total Capital 800,000. All funds not used in initial investment put into Certificate of Deposit. Passbook savings receives cash flow funds as is normal for portfolio technique.Explanation / Answer
Answer
Option (a) A Certificate of deposit return : 6% p.a.
Option (b) : A Pass book Saving Account return : 3% p.a.
Option (c)
Internal rate of return is a discount rate that makes the net present value (NPV) of all cash flows from a particular project equal to zero.
We have to find IRR by assuming different discount rates by trial and error method.
Suppose discount Rate is 79.2955%

IRR
79.2955%
So Internal rate of return on Investment A is 79.2955%
Option (d)
Internal rate of return is a discount rate that makes the net present value (NPV) of all cash flows from a particular project equal to zero.
We have to find IRR by assuming different discount rates by trial and error method.
Suppose discount Rate is 86.9425%

IRR
86.9425%
Internal rate of return on investment B is 86.9425%.
Answer : IRR of Investment B is higher than IRR of Investment A. So 400,000 should be invested in Investment B out of $ 800,000. Remaining $ 400,000 should be invested in Certificate of deposit.
