Lou Barlow, a divisional manager for Sage Company, has an opportunity to manufacture and sell one of two new products for a five
andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

1. Calculate the payback period for each product.

  • A = 2.71 years, A is preferred
  • B = 2.8 years

2. Calculate the net present value for each product.

  • A = $60,349
  • B = $83,001, B is preferred

3. Calculate the internal rate of return for each product.

  • A = 25%, A is preferred
  • B = 23%

4. Calculate the project profitability index for each product.

  • A = 121%, A is preferred
  • B = 117%

5. Calculate the simple rate of return for each product.

  • A = 184%, A is ´preferred
  • B = 179%

6B. Based on the simple rate of return, Lou Barlow would likely:

  • 1. Accept Product A, since its IRR is 25% which exceeds the company's  minimum ROI (23%)

Explanation:

                                       Product A               Product B

Initial investment:

Cost of equipment          $290,000              $490,000

Annual revenues and costs:

Sales revenues              $340,000               $440,000

Variable expenses         $154,000               $206,000

Depreciation expense    $58,000                 $98,000

Fixed out-of-pocket

operating costs               $79,000                 $59,000

net cash flow                  $107,000                $175,000

The company's discount rate is 16%.

payback period

A = $290,000 / $107,000 = 2.71 years, A is preferred

B = $490,000 / $175,000 = 2.8 years

using an excel spreadsheet I calculated the NPV and IRR

NPV

A = $60,349

B = $83,001, B is preferred

IRR

A = 25%, A is preferred

B = 23%

Project profitability

A = $350,349 / $290,000 = 1.21

B = $573,001 / $490,000 = 1.17

Simple rate of return

A = $535,000 / $290,000 = 184%, A is ´preferred

B = $875,000 / $490,000 = 179%

Alja [10]

Answer:  $10,906

Explanation:

Given that,

Purchased machinery at the beginning of Year 1 = $86,100

machinery has an estimated life of five years,

Estimated residual value = $4,305

Accumulated depreciation = $49,077 at the end of Year 2

Year 3 Depreciation expense:

= \frac{Cost\ of\ machinery - Estimated\ residual\ value - Accumulated\ depreciation}{3}

= $10,906
