The management of Arkansas Corporation is considering the purchase of a new machine costing $490,000. The company's desired rate of return is 10%. The present value factors for $1 at compound interest of 10% for 1 through 5 years 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 in this situation: The net present value for this investment is:

The process by which management allocates available investment funds among competing capital investment proposals is termed capital rationing.

Tennessee Corporation is analyzing a capital expenditure that will involve a cash outlay of $109,332. Estimated cash flows are expected to be $36,000 annually for four years. The present value factors for an annuity of $1 for 4 years at interest of 10%, 12%, 14%, and 15% are 3.170, 3.037, 2.914, and 2.855, respectively. The internal rate of return for this investment is:

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

The internal rate of return method is used to analyze a $946,250 capital investment proposal with annual net cash flows of $250,000 for each of the six years of its useful life.

The internal rate of return method of analyzing capital investment proposals uses the present value concept to compute an internal rate of return expected from the proposals.

The production department is proposing the purchase of an automatic insertion machine. They have identified 3 machines, each with an estimated life of 10 years. Which machine offers the best internal rate of return?

The anticipated purchase of a fixed asset for $400,000, with a useful life of 5 years and no residual value, is expected to yield total net income of $200,000 for the 5 years. The expected average rate of return on investment is 25.0%.
