Generro Company is considering the purchase of equipment that would cost $36,000 and offer annual cash inflows of $10,500 over its useful life of 5 years. Assuming a desired rate of return of 12%, is the project acceptable? (PV of $1and PVA of $1) (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided.)

A) No, since the negative net present value indicates the investment will yield a rate of return below the desired rate of return.
B) Yes, since the investment will generate $52,500 in future cash flows, which is greater than the purchase cost of $36,000.
C) Yes, since the positive net present value indicates the investment will earn a rate of return greater than 12%.
D) The answer cannot be determined.

Chico Company is considering the purchase of a new high-speed machine for its factory. The machine will cost $160,000 and will save the company $45,000 per year in cash operating costs. The machine has an estimated useful life of five years and no expected salvage value. The company's cost of capital is 12%.(PV of $1and PVA of $1) (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided.)Required:Compute the net present value of this investment.What is the maximum amount that Chico should be willing to pay for the machine?What are the minimum annual cash savings that will make the machine acceptable on a net present value basis if the purchase price is $160,000?

A cash flow that only occurs in equal amounts each year is referred to as:

Investment projects A and B offer equal cash inflows over their lives, but the cash inflows for project A occur sooner than those for project B. The two projects are otherwise identical (the cost is the same, for example). Based on this information, the internal rate of return for A is lower than for B.

Generally, a company should use the MACRS method to calculate depreciation on its income tax return, due to the effects of the time value of money.

A capital investment with an internal rate of return equal to or greater than the required rate of return is considered to be an acceptable investment.

The amount of the depreciation tax shield can be calculated by multiplying the amount of depreciation expense by the tax rate.

Depreciation on a capital investment (such as equipment) has the effect of decreasing the amount of income taxes that the company owning the asset must pay.

The assumption regarding ordinary annuities is that cash flows occur at the end of each period.

Describe the approach that managers may take in making capital investment decisions.
