Ridge Outfitters is considering a project that would require an investment of $334,000 and would last for 8 years. The incremental annual revenues and expenses generated by the project during those 8 years would be as follows (Ignore income taxes.): Sales $ 230,000 Variable expenses 18,000 Contribution margin 212,000 Fixed expenses:   Salaries 36,000 Rents 49,000 Depreciation 44,000 Total fixed expenses 129,000 Net operating income $ 83,000 The scrap value of the project’s assets at the end of the project would be $26,000. The cash inflows occur evenly throughout the year. The project’s payback period is closest to:

Nest and Co. is considering the acquisition of a new machine that costs $355,000 and has a useful life of 5 years with no salvage value. The incremental net operating income and incremental net cash flows that the machine would produce are (Ignore income taxes.):   Incremental Net Operating Income Incremental Net Cash Flows Year 1 $ 62,000 $ 148,000 Year 2 $ 68,000 $ 154,000 Year 3 $ 79,000 $ 165,000 Year 4 $ 42,000 $ 128,000 Year 5 $ 84,000 $ 170,000 Assume cash flows occur uniformly throughout a year except for the initial investment. The payback period of this investment is closest to:

Crystal Tech has gathered the following data on a proposed investment project (Ignore income taxes.): Investment required in equipment $ 32,000   Annual cash inflows  $ 6,800   Salvage value of equipment $ 0   Life of the investment 15 years Required rate of return 10%   Crystal uses straight-line depreciation on all equipment. Assume cash flows occur uniformly throughout a year except for the initial investment. Note: You will need the PV tables for this question. The internal rate of return of the investment is closest to: 

Pixel Forge Co. is investigating an investment in machinery that is expected to have a useful life of 7 years. The company uses a discount rate of 15% in its capital budgeting. The net present value of the investment, excluding the salvage value, is −$580,450. (Ignore income taxes.) How large would the salvage value of the machinery have to be for the investment in it to be financially attractive? Note: You will need the PV tables for this question.

11) Select the law that establishes that the two sets below are equal.  

Cedar House Corp. has not yet decided on the required rate of return to use in its capital budgeting. This lack of information will prevent Cedar House from calculating a project’s:   Payback Net Present Value Internal Rate of Return 1) No No No 2) Yes Yes Yes 3) No Yes Yes 4) No Yes No
