Net Present Value Method—Annuity for a Service Company
Welcome Inn Hotels is considering the construction of a new hotel for $64 million. The expected life of the hotel is 8 years with no residual value. The hotel is expected to earn revenues of $19 million per year. Total expenses, including depreciation, are expected to be $14 million per year. Welcome Inn management has set a minimum acceptable rate of return of 10%. Assume straight-line depreciation.
a. Determine the equal annual net cash flows
from operating the hotel. Round to the nearest million
dollars.

b. Calculate the net present value of the new
hotel, using the present value of an annuity of $1 table above.
Round to the nearest million dollars. If required, use the minus
sign to indicate a negative net present value.
Net present value of hotel project: $ million
c. Does your analysis support the purchase of
the new hotel?
, because the net present value is .
| Annual depreciation expense | 8 | =64/8 |
| a | ||
| Annual revenues | 19 | |
| Less: Annual expenses less depreciation | 6 | =14-8 |
| Equal annual net cash flows | 13 | million |
| b | ||
| Equal annual net cash flows | 13 | |
| X PV factor of $1 annuity (n=8,i=10%) | 5.33493 | |
| Present value of annual net cash flows | 69 | =13*5.33493 |
| Less: Investment cost | 64 | |
| Net present value of hotel project | 5 | million |
| c | ||
| Yes because the net present value is positive and greater than 0 | ||
