Part 1. NPV $346,465

Part 2. IRR is 19.8%

Part 3. 3 Years

Part 4. 13.33%

 5      800,000  0.5194       <u> 415,495 </u>         0.4019            <u> 321,502</u>

                             NPV              $346,465                                    -$7510

IRR can be calculated by using the following formula:

IRR = R at lower %age  + (R at Higher %age - R at Lower %age) * NPV at lower Percentage / (NPV at Higher %age - NPV at Lower %age)

Now by putting values, we have:

IRR = 14%   +  (20% - 14%)  *  346,465 / (346,465 +  7510)

IRR = 14%   +  5.8%  = 19.8%

<u>Part 3.</u>

Now by putting values, we have:

Payback Period = Initial Investment / Cash flow Per Period

Payback Period = $2,400,000 / $800,000  =  3 Years

<u>Part 4.</u>

As we know that:

Simple Rate Of Return = Net operating income ÷ Initial investment

Now by putting values, we have:

Simple Rate Of Return = $320,000 / $2,400,000 = 13.33%

Butler Corporation is considering the purchase of new equipment costing $30,000. The projected annual after-tax net income from
kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

($3,100)

Explanation:

Net cash flows each year = Projected annual after-tax net income + Depreciation

Net cash flows each year = $1,200 + $10,000

Net cash flows each year = $11,200 each year

Total value of inflows in 3 years = Net cash flows each year * Annuity factor of (10%,3 years)

Total value of inflows in 3 years = $11,200 * 2.4018

Total value of inflows in 3 years = $26,900

Net Present value = Present value of inflows - Cash outflow

Net Present value = $26,900 - $30,000

Net Present value = ($3,100)

So, tnet present value of the machine is ($3,100).
