Greeley [361]

Answer:

The indifference point is 1,875,000 units.

Because the current machine has lower fixed costs, it has a lower cost from 0 units to 1,874,999. From 1,875,001 the new machine is more convenient,

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Current machine:

Total cost= 75,000 + 0.32x

New machine:

Total cost= 150,000 + 0.28x

To find the indifference point, we need to equal the cost functions and isolate x (number of units)

75,000 + 0.32x = 150,000 + 0.28x

0.04x= 75,000

x= 1,875,000

The indifference point is 1,875,000 units.

Because the current machine has lower fixed costs, it has a lower cost from 0 units to 1,874,999. From 1,875,001 the new machine is more convenient.

Radda [10]

Answer:

No; The IRR is less than the required return.

Explanation:

Calculation of IRR is given by the formula: Lr x NPVL / NPVL - NPVH x (Hr - Lr)

where

Lr = Lower rate of discount

Hr = Higher rate of discount

NPVH = NPV at Higher discount rate

NPVL = NPV at Lower discount rate

Assume a low discount rate of 1% and a high rate of 20%

NPV at 1%

Particulars Year 0 Year 1 Year 2 Year 3

Cash flows 152,000 71,800 86,900 (11,200)

DCF 1% 1 0.99 0.98 0.97

Present values (152,000) 71,082 85,162 (10,864)

NPV = $6,620

NPV at 20%

Particulars Year 0 Year 1 Year 2 Year 3

Cash flows 152,000 71,800 86,900 (11,200)

DCF 20% 1 0.83 0.69 0.58

Present values (152,000) 59,594 59,961 (6,496)

NPV = ($38,941)

Substituting values in the IRR formula we have:

1% x [($6,620 / ($6620 - (38,941))] x (20% - 1%) = 2.06%

Therefore we reject the project because it gives an IRR lower than the required rate of return of 15.5%
