Zachary Manufacturing Company has an opportunity to purchase some technologically advanced equipment that will reduce the compan

y’s cash outflow for operating expenses by $1,287,000 per year. The cost of the equipment is $9,187,846.67. Zachary expects it to have a 11-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.)
Required:
a. Calculate the internal rate of return of the investment opportunity. (Do not round intermediate calculations.)
b. Indicate whether the investment opportunity should be accepted.

Answer:

IRR = 8%

Don't accept the project

Explanation:

The internal rate of return is the discount rate that equates the after tax cash flows from an investment to the amount invested.

IRR can be calculated using a financial calculator:

Cash flow in year 0 = -9,187,846.67

Cash flow each year from year 1 to 11 = 1287000

IRR = 8%

Because the IRR is less than the hurdle rate, the project shouldn't be accepted.

To find the IRR using a financial calacutor:

1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

2. After inputting all the cash flows, press the IRR button and then press the compute button.

I hope my answer helps you

Answer:

a) IRR

IRR = 9%

b)

Since the IRR is less than the hurdle rate , the project should be rejected. An IRR with higher than the hurdle rate implies that the project would decrase the wealth of ths shareholders

Explanation:

IRR = a% + ( NPVa/(NPVa + NPVb)× (b-a)%

NPV = PV of annual savings - initial cost

PV of annual savings = A× (1- (1+r)^(-n) )/r

A- annual savings in operating cost , r- rate of return, n- number of years

NPVa

PV of annual savings = 1,287,000 × (1- 1.15^(-11))/0.15=  6,735,787.15  

NPV = 6,735,787.15   - 9,187,846.67.= 2,452,059.52  

NPVb

PV of annual savings  =  (1,287,000 × (1- 1.03^(-11))/0.03=11908127.23

NPV b = 11908127.23 -9187846.67 =2720280.564

IRR = 3% + ( 2720280.564 /(2720280.564 +2,452,059.52) )× (15-3)%

IRR = 9%

Since the IRR is less than the hurdle rate , the project should be rejected. An IRR with higher than the hurdle rate implies that the project would decrase the wealth of ths shareholders

In the presence of sunlight plants use photosynthesis to transform water and a carbon dioxide into sugar and oxygen Why then is
DochEvi [55]

Plants employ photosynthesis to convert water, sunshine, and CO2 into oxygen and simple sugars that the plant may use as fuel. It  is it important to add fertilizer to some soils because fundamental producers serve as the foundation of an ecosystem, fueling the subsequent trophic levels.

<h3>What is the photosynthesis process?</h3>

In the photosynthesis process, plants absorb carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) from the air and soil during photosynthesis. Water is oxidative within the plant cell, which means it loses electrons, but carbon dioxide is reductive, which means it receives electrons.

This converts water to oxygen and nitrogen to glucose. Photosynthesis is often used by plants to transform water, sunlight, and CO2 into oxygen and simple carbohydrates that the plant may utilize as fuel.

Therefore, Some soils require nutrients because basic producers contribute as the base of an ecosystem, feeding succeeding trophic levels.

IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

With mitigation: NPV =$36,670,000, IRR= 15,24%

Without mitigation: NPV= $ 42,000,000, IRR= 19,86%

Explanation:

To calculate the Net Present Value (NPV) we have to sum the present value of a project´s cash flows (positive and negative cashflows). To do so, we need: the number of periods of the project, the discount rate, cost of captal  or WACC, and the future values of the cash flows. Then we apply the formula attached.

To calculate the Internal Rate of Return (IRR) we have to find the discount rate, cost of capital or WACC that makes the NPV equal to cero. That means we have to find a rate in which the investor do not create or destroy value, only recovers the investment. I attached the formula.

But, this is better if we use excel:

First we copy the cash flows of the two projects. To find the NPV we use the financial formula "NPV" in this way:

"=NPV(rate;cash flows from year 1 to year 5)+ cash flow of year 0"

To find the IRR we use the financial formula "IRR" in this way:

"=IRR(cash flows from year 0 to year 5)"

I attached the excel figure.

ALTERNATIVE 3 $33,000

Explanation:

Calculation for the incremental income

ALTERNATIVE 1 Sell as it is

Incremental revenue $30,000

(5,000*$6)

Incremental costs $0

Incremental Income $30,000

ALTERNATIVE 2 Disassemble and sell to recycler

Incremental revenue $60,000

(5,000*$12)

Incremental costs $32,000

Incremental Income $28,000

ALTERNATIVE3 Rework and turn into good jackets

Incremental revenue $135,000

(3,000*$45)

Incremental costs $102,000

Incremental Income $33,000

Therefore based on the above calculation the company should choose ALTERNATIVE 3 of the amount of $33,000
