Answer:
Hsung Company
a. The net present value is:
= $12,100.
b. Since the investment could yield a net present value of $12,100, the investment should be made.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Cash cost of proposed capital investment = $226,445
Net annual cash inflows = $40,500
Present value factor of cash inflows for 10 years = 5.89 (rounded)
Present value of net annual cash inflows = $238,545 ($40,500 * 5.89)
The net present value of the proposed capital project = Present value of net annual cash inflows minus the initial investment cost
= $12,100 ($238,545 - $226,445)
