Balloons By Sunset (BBS) is considering the purchase of two new hot
air balloons so that it can expand its desert sunset tours. Various
information about the proposed investment
follows:
Initial investment (for two hot air balloons) | $ | 335,000 | |||||
Useful life | 7 | years | |||||
Salvage value | $ | 41,000 | |||||
Annual net income generated | 26,800 | ||||||
BBS’s cost of capital | 12 | % | |||||
|
Assume straight line depreciation method is used.
Required:
Help BBS evaluate this project by calculating each of the
following:
1. Accounting rate of return. (Round your answer to 1 decimal
place.)
2. Payback period. (Round your answer to 2 decimal
places.)
3. Net present value (NPV). (Future Value of $1,
Present Value of $1, Future Value Annuity of $1, Present Value
Annuity of $1.) (Use
appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided. Do not round
intermediate calculations. Negative amount should be indicated by a
minus sign. Round the final answer to nearest whole
dollar.)
4. Recalculate the NPV assuming BBS's cost of
capital is 15 percent. (Future Value of $1, Present Value of $1,
Future Value Annuity of $1, Present Value Annuity of $1.)
(Use appropriate
factor(s) from the tables provided. Do not round intermediate
calculations. Negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign.
Round the final answer to nearest whole
dollar.)
1. Accounting rate of return = 8%
Depreciation = ($335000 - 41000) / 7 = $42000
Cash Flow = Net Income + Depreciation
= $26800 + 42000 = $68800
Accounting Rate of return = (Net Income / Initial Investments) * 100
= ($26800 / 335000) * 100 = 8%
2. Payback period = 4.87 Years
= Initial Investment / cash flow
= $335000 / 68800 = 4.87 Years
3. Net present value (NPV) at 12% = - $2,467 (Negative)
= [ $68800 x (PVAF 12%,7 Years) + $41000 x (PVF 12%,7 Years) ] - $335000
= [ ($68800 x 4.56376 ) + ($41000 x 0.45235) ] - $335000
= - $2,467 (Negative)
4. Net present value (NPV) at 15% = - $33,349 (Negative)
= [ $68800 x (PVAF 15%,7 Years) + $41000 x (PVF 15%,7 Years) ] - $335000
= [ ($68800 x 4.16042 ) + ($41000 x 0.37594) ] - $335000
= - $33,349 (Negative)
