2. Exercise 14-28
Net Present Value
Use the Exhibit 14B-1 and Exhibit 14B-2 to locate the present value of an annuity of $1, which is the amount to be multiplied times the future annual cash flow amount.
Each of the following scenarios is independent. Assume that all cash flows are after-tax cash flows.
a. Southward Manufacturing is considering the purchase of a new welding system. The cash benefits will be $400,000 per year. The system costs $2,250,000 and will last 10 years.
b. Kaylin Day is interested in investing in a women’s specialty shop. The cost of the investment is $180,000. She estimates that the return from owning her own shop will be $35,000 per year. She estimates that the shop will have a useful life of six years.
c. Goates Company calculated the NPV of a project and found it to be $21,300. The project’s life was estimated to be eight years. The required rate of return used for the NPV calculation was 10 percent. The project was expected to produce annual after-tax cash flows of $45,000.
