Answer:
(a) Cash payback period:
Project Red = 5.5 years
Project blue = 4.6 years
(b) Net present value for project Red = $19,760
Net present value for project Blue =$164,580
(c) Annual rate of return:
Project Red =11.36%
Project Blue =18.75%
(d) Project Blue
Explanation:
Given Data;
Project Blue Capital investment = $640,000
Project Red Capital investment = $440,000
Project Red Annual Net income = $ 25,000.
Project Blue Annual Net income = $ 60,000
Annual depreciation Project Red = (440000/8)
= 55,000
Annual depreciation Project Blue = (640000/8)
= 80,000
Annual cash inflow project A = $ 80,000
Annual cash inflow project B = $140,000
(a)
Cash payback period = Initial investment/cash flow per period
Project Red = 440000 /80000
= 5.5 years
Project blue = 640000/ 140000
= 4.6 years
(b)
Project Red Present value of cash inflows = 80000 ×5.747
= $459,760
Project Blue Present value of cash inflows =140000×5.747
= 804580
Net present value for project Red = $459,760 - $440,000
= $19,760
Net present value for project Blue = 804580 - $640,000
=$164,580
(c) Annual rate of return:
Project Red = $25,000 / ($440000)/2
=11.36%
Project Blue = $60000/(640000/2)
=18.75%
(d) Savanna should select Project Blue because it has a higher positive NPV and a higher annual rate of return. AND Project Blue has early cash back period also
