The estimated cash flows from the proposed investment proposal are as follows: Year CF Kshs 000 1 13,000 2 14,000 3 18,000 4 23,000 5 25,000 Compute: Accounting Rate of Return Discounted payback period at 6% discounting factor Net present value at 15% discounting factor and advise management on the project’s feasibility
Part D: Investment Decisions Now consider that Luxio has identified the following two mutually exclusive projects: Year 0 1 2 3 4 Cash Flow (A) -$34,000 $16,500 $14,000 $10,000 $6,000 Cash Flow (B) -$34,000 $5,000 $10,000 $18,000 $19,000. 1. What is the IRR for each of these projects? Based on IRR decision rule, which project should the company accept? 2. If the required return is 11%, what is the NPV for each of these projects? Based on the NPV decision rule, which project should the company accept? 3. Over what range of discount rates would the company choose project A? At what discount rate would the company be indifferent between these two projects? Explain.
Cost of plant R3 600 000Import duty R 900 000Installation cost R 300 000Net cash flows Year 1-10 R1 400 000 per annum (excluding residual value)Residual/scrap value R1 200 000The company uses straight-line depreciation. The cost of capital for projects of similar risk is 18%. 2.1 Calculate the investment’s Accounting Rate of Return (ARR). Briefly explain if the ARR is acceptable or not based on a target rate of return of 40%. Assume a payback period of 4 years. Determine the payback period and state if the investment isacceptable or not. Calculate and comment on the viability of the proposed investment based on the net present value(NPV) method. Discuss whether the advantages of using the NPV method outweigh the disadvantages
