Coronado’s Custom Construction Company is considering three new
projects, each requiring an equipment investment of $23,540. Each
project will last for 3 years and produce the following net annual
cash flows.
Year | AA | BB | CC | ||||
1 | $7,490 | $10,700 | $13,910 | ||||
2 | 9,630 | 10,700 | 12,840 | ||||
3 | 12,840 | 10,700 | 11,770 | ||||
Total | $29,960 | $32,100 | $38,520 |
The equipment’s salvage value is zero, and Coronado uses
straight-line depreciation. Coronado will not accept any project
with a cash payback period over 2 years. Coronado’s required rate
of return is 12%. Click here to view PV table.
(a)
Compute each project’s payback period. (Round answers
to 2 decimal places, e.g. 15.25.)
AA | years | ||
BB | years | ||
CC | years |
Which is the most desirable project?
The most desirable project based on payback period is |
a. Project AA b. Project BB c. Project CC |
Which is the least desirable project?
The least desirable project based on payback period is |
a.) Project BB b. Project AA c. Project 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.)

Which is the most desirable project based on net present
value?
The most desirable project based on net present value is
a. Project BB b. Project AA c. Project CC . |
Which is the least desirable project based on net present
value?
The least desirable project based on net present value is
a. Project BB b. Project CC c. Project AA . |
a. Payback period of project AA=2.5 years
Payback period of project BB=2.2 years
Payback period of project CC= 1.75 years
The most desirable project is project CC
The least desirable project is project AA.
b. Net present value of Project AA=$-38
Net present value of Project BB=$2156
Net present value of project CC=$7489
The most desirable project is project CC.
The least desirable project is project AA.
