Exam 25: Capital Investment Analysis

Average rate of return equals estimated average annual income divided by average investment.

If a proposed expenditure of $70,000 for a fixed asset with a four-year life has an annual expected net cash flow and net income of $32,000 and $12,000, respectively, the cash payback period is 2.5 years.

Dickerson Co. is evaluating a project requiring a capital expenditure of $810,000. The project has an estimated life of four years and no salvage value. The estimated net income and net cash flow from the project are as follows:? The company's minimum desired rate of return is 12%. The present value of $1 at compound interest of 12% for Years 1 through 4 is 0.893, 0.797, 0.712, and 0.636, respectively.Determine the average rate of return on investment, including the effect of depreciation on the investment.

The computations involved in the net present value method of analyzing capital investment proposals are less involved than those for the average rate of return method.

Round interim answers to the nearest dollar.

The management of Idaho Corporation is considering the purchase of a new machine costing $430,000. The company's desired rate of return is 10%. The present value factors for $1 at compound interest of 10% for Years 1 through 5 are 0.909, 0.826, 0.751, 0.683, and 0.621, respectively. In addition to the foregoing information, use the following data in determining the acceptability of this investment:?

A $550,000 capital investment proposal has an estimated life of four years and no residual value. The estimated net cash flows are as follows:​ The minimum desired rate of return for net present value analysis is 12%. The present value of $1 at compound interest of 12% for Years 1 through 4 is 0.893, 0.797, 0.712, and 0.636, respectively.​Determine the net present value.

The process by which management plans, evaluates, and controls long-term investment decisions involving fixed assets is called capital investment analysis.

Match each definition that follows with the term (a-e) it defines. -Often referred to as the discounted cash flow method

The expected average rate of return for a proposed investment of $800,000 in a fixed asset with a useful life of four years, straight-line depreciation, no residual value, and an expected total net income of $360,000 for the four years is

The anticipated purchase of a fixed asset for $400,000, with a useful life of five years and no residual value, is expected to yield total net income of $300,000 for the five years. The expected average rate of return is 37.5%.

The excess of the cash flowing in from revenues over the cash flowing out for expenses is termed net discounted cash flow.

What is capital investment analysis? Why are capital investment analysis decisions often difficult and risky?

Which of the following is true of the cash payback period?

A company is planning to purchase a machine that will cost $24,000, have a six-year life, and have no salvage value. The company expects to sell the machine's output of 3,000 units evenly throughout each year. Total income over the life of the machine is estimated to be $12,000. The machine will generate net cash flows per year of $6,000. The payback period for the machine is 12 years.
