Assume the following facts: A project will cost RM45 000 to develop. When the system becomes operational, after a one-year development period, operational costs will be RM9000 during each year of the system’s five year useful life. The system will produce benefits of RM30 000 in the first year of operation, and this figure will increase by 10% each year. When is the payback period for this project? Using the same facts, what is the ROI for this project? Using the same facts, what is the NPV for this project? (*Assuming 12% rate)
A firm urgently needs a large printer and will either lease a printer at an end-of-year cost of $ 5000 for a 6 year period, or they will purchase the printer at an initial cost of $50,000. If purchased, the printer will have a zero salvage value at the end of 6- years life. No other costs are to be considered. MARR is 4%. What is the best investment decision on the basis of the internal rate of return. O a. IRR could not be calculated due to no change in cashflow sign Ob. Negative IRR is not justified and is not applied here to make a proper decision C. Lease o d. Buy
You are considering a four-year project to improve production efficiency of your press. Buying a new machine press for Rs 530.000 is estimated to result in Rs 205,000 in annual pretax cost savings. The press falls in the MACRS five-year class, and it will have a salvage value at the end of the project of Rs 90,000. The press also requires an initial investment in spare parts inventory of Rs 20,000, along with an additional Rs 3,000 in inventory for each succeeding year of the project. If the tax rate is 35 percent and discount rate is 9 percent, should you buy and install the machine press?
