Exercise 25-02
Doug’s Custom Construction Company is considering three new projects, each requiring an equipment investment of $24,200. Each project will last for 3 years and produce the following net annual cash flows.
Year | AA | BB | CC | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | $7,700 | $11,000 | $14,300 | ||||
2 | 9,900 | 11,000 | 13,200 | ||||
3 | 13,200 | 11,000 | 12,100 | ||||
Total | $30,800 | $33,000 | $39,600 |
The equipment’s salvage value is zero, and Doug uses straight-line
depreciation. Doug will not accept any project with a cash payback
period over 2 years. Doug’s required rate of return is 12%. Click

(a)
Compute each project’s payback period. (Round answers
to 2 decimal places, e.g. 15.25.)
AA | Enter a number of years rounded to 2 decimal places | years | |
---|---|---|---|
BB | Enter a number of years rounded to 2 decimal places | years | |
CC | Enter a number of years rounded to 2 decimal places | years |
Which is the most desirable project?
The most desirable project based on payback period is | select a project
Project AAProject BBProject CC |
Which is the least desirable project?
The least desirable project based on payback period is | select a project
Project BBProject AAProject CC |
(b)
Compute the net present value of each project. (Enter
negative amounts using either a negative sign preceding the number
e.g. -45 or parentheses e.g. (45). Round final answers to the
nearest whole dollar, e.g. 5,275. For
calculation purposes, use 5 decimal places as displayed in the
factor table provided.)
AA | enter a dollar amount rounded to 0 decimal places | ||
