Question

PA11-1 Calculating Accounting Rate of Return, Payback Period, Net Present Value, Estimating Internal Rate of Return [LO 11-1, 1-2, 11-3, 11-4] Balloons By Sunset (BBS) is considering the purchase of two new hot air balloons so that it can expand its desert sunset tours. Various information about the proposed investment follows: Initial investment (for two hot air balloons) $ 314,000 Useful life 7 years Salvage value $ 55,000 Annual net income generated 28,260 BBS's cost of capital 8% Assume straight line depreciation method is used. Required: Help BBS evaluate this project by calculating each of the following: 1. Accounting rate of return. (Round your answer to 1 decimal place.) Accounting Rate of Return 1%

Explanation / Answer

1.

Initial Investment for 1 Balloon = $314,000

Accounting Rate of Return = Average Profit / Average Investment

As we know that the Net income and Initial investment is same for all years so the average of them will also same of 1 year.

Accounting Rate of Return = $28,260 / $314,000

Accounting Rate of Return = 9%

2.

Depreciation = (Cost – Salvage Value) / Useful life

= (314,000– 55,000) / 7 Years

= 37,000 per year

Cash inflow per year = Net income + Depreciation

= $28,260 + 37,000

Cash inflow per year = $65,260

As we can see that we will receive $314,000 between 4 and 5 years

Payback period = Initial cash outflow / Cash inflow per year

= 4 Years + [(314,000 - 261,040)/ 65,260]

= 4 Years + 0.81 Years

Payback period = 4.81 Years

3.

Cost of Capital = 8%

PVAF @8% for 7 Years = 5.206

PVF @8% of 7th Year = 0.583

Present Value of Cash Inflow = (Annual cash inflow * PVAF @8% for 7 Years) + (Salvage Value * PVF @8% of 7th Year)

= (65,260 * 5.206) + (55,000 * 0.583)

= 339,743.56 + 32,065

Present Value of Cash Inflow = 371,808.56

NPV = Present Value of Cash Inflow – Initial Cash outflow

= 371,808.56 – 314,000

NPV = $57,808.56

4.

Cost of Capital = 11%

PVAF @11% for 7 Years = 4.712

PVF @11% of 7th Year = 0.482

Present Value of Cash Inflow = (Annual cash inflow * PVAF @11% for 7 Years) + (Salvage Value * PVF @11% of 7th Year)

= (65,260 * 4.712) + (55,000 * 0.482)

= 307,505.12 + 26,510

Present Value of Cash Inflow = 334,015.12

NPV = Present Value of Cash Inflow – Initial Cash outflow

= 334,015.12– 314,000

NPV = $20,015.12
