1. A plant has an installation cost of $17Million, which will be depreciated straight line to zero over its 4 year life. If the plant has projected net income of $1,735,000, $2,105,000, $1,954,000 and $1,286,000 over these four years, what is the project's average accounting return?
Average net income =( $1,735,000 + $2,105,000 +$1,954,000 + $1,286,000)/4 = 1,770,000
Average book value = 17,000,000/2 = 8,500,000
ARR = average net income / average book value = 1,770,000/8,500,000 = 20.82%
2. A firm evaluates all of its projects by applying the IRR rule. If the required return is 13%, should the firm accept the
Following project?:
Year Cash Flow
0 -145,000
1 71,000
2 68,000
3 52,000
0= -145,000 + 71,000/(1+ IRR) + 68,000/(1 +IRR)^2 + 52,000/(1+IRR)^3
IRR = 16.02%
3. For the cash flow above, suppose ...
