2.Davis Industries must choose between a gas-powered and an electric-powered forklift truck for moving materials in its factory. Since both forklifts perform the same function, the firm will choose only one. (They are mutually exclusive investments.) The electric-powered truck will cost more, but it will be less expensive to operate; it will cost $23,000, whereas the gas-powered truck will cost $17,100. The cost of capital that applies to both investments is 11%. The life for both types of truck is estimated to be 6 years, during which time the net cash flows for the electric-powered truck will be $6,500 per year and those for the gas-powered truck will be $4,950 per year. Annual net cash flows include depreciation expenses.

Explanation / Answer

1.       Your division is considering two investment projects, each of which requires an up-front expenditure of $23 million. You estimate that the investments will produce the following net cash flows:

a.     What are the two projects' net present values, assuming the cost of capital is 5%? Round your answers to the nearest dollar.
Project A = -23000000 + 6000000/1.05 + 10000000/1.05^2 + 20000000/1.05^3=$9061332


Project B = -23000000 + 20000000/1.05 + 10000000/1.05^2 + 8000000/1.05^3=$12028615


What are the two projects' net present values, assuming the cost of capital is 10%? Round your answers to the nearest dollar.
Project A = -23000000 + 6000000/1.1 + 10000000/1.1^2 + 20000000/1.1^3=$5745304


Project B = -23000000 + 20000000/1.1 + 10000000/1.1^2 + 8000000/1.1^3=$9456799



What are the two projects' net present values, assuming the cost of capital is 15%? Round your answers to the nearest dollar.
Project A = -23000000 + 6000000/1.15 + 10000000/1.15^2 + 20000000/1.15^3=$2929153


Project B = -23000000 + 20000000/1.15 + 10000000/1.15^2 + 8000000/1.15^3=$7212871

b.    What are the two projects' IRRs at these same costs of capital? Round your answers to two decimal places.
Project A     21.18%
Project B     37.15%

Annual net cash flows include depreciation expenses.

a.     Calculate the NPV for each type of truck. Round your answers to the nearest dollar.

NPV of Electric-powered truck = -23000 + 6500*(1-1/1.11^6)/11%= 4499

NPV of Gas-powered truck = -17100 + 4950*(1-1/1.11^6)/11%= 3841

Project X     = ((1000*1.15^3 + 1500*1.15^2 + 2000*1.15 + 4000)/5000)^(1/4)-1 = 18.34%

Project Y     =  ((4500*1.15^3 + 1500*1.15^2 + 1000*1.15 + 500)/5000)^(1/4)-1 = 20.32%
