Nova Manufacturing applies factory overhead to products on the basis of
direct labor hours. At the beginning of the current year, the company's
accountant made the following estimates for the forthcoming period:

manufacture of 7,900 units amounted to $895,100.Actual labor hours
totaled 39,800. Assuming a direct labor standard of five hours per
finished unit, calculate the following:

Chapter 8 Exercise 1:
1. Basic present value calculations
Calculate the present value of the following cash flows, rounding to the
nearest dollar:
a. A single cash inflow of $12,000 in five years, discounted at a 12%
rate of return.
b. An annual receipt of $16,000 over the next 12 years, discounted at
a 12% rate of return.
8. c. A single receipt of $15,000 at the end of Year 1 followed by a
single receipt of $10,000 at the end of Year 3. The company has a 10%
rate of return.
d. An annual receipt of $8,000 for three years followed by a single
receipt of $10,000 at the end of Year 4. The company has a 12% rate of
return.
Chapter 8 Exercise 4:
4. Cash flow calculationsand net present value
On January 2, 20X1, Bruce Greene invested $10,000 in the stock market
and purchased 500 shares of Heartland Development, Inc. Heartland
paid cash dividends of $2.60 per share in 20X1 and 20X2; the dividend
was raised to $3.10 per share in 20X3. On December 31, 20X3, Greene
sold his holdings and generated proceeds of $13,000. Greene uses the
net-present- value method and desires a 16% return on investments.
a. Prepare a chronological list of the investment's cash flows. Note:
Greene is entitled to the 20X3 dividend.
b. Compute the investment's net present value, rounding calculations
to the nearest dollar.
9. c. Given the results of part (b), should Greene have acquired the
Heartland stock? Briefly explain.
Chapter 8 exercise 5:
5. Straightforwardnet present value and internal rate of return
The City of Bedford is studying a 600-acre site on Route 356 for a new
landfill. The startup cost has been calculated as follows:
Purchase cost: $450 per acre
Site preparation: $175,000
The site can be used for 20 years before it reaches capacity. Bedford,
which shares a facility in Bath Township with other municipalities,
estimates that the new location will save $40,000 in annual operating
costs.
a. Should the landfill be acquired if Bedford desires an 8% return on
its investment? Use the net-present-value method to determine your
answer.
Chapter 8 Problem 1:
10. 1. Straightforward net-present-value and payback computations
STL Entertainment is considering the acquisition of a sight-seeing boat
for summer tours along the Mississippi River. The following
information is available:
Cost of boat
$500,000
Service life
10 summer seasons
Disposal value at the end of 10 seasons
$100,000
Capacity per trip
300 passengers
11. Fixed operating costs per season (including straight-line depreciation)
$160,000
Variable operating costs per trip
$1,000
Ticket price
$5 per passenger
All operating costs, except depreciation, require cash outlays. On the
basis of similar operations in other parts of the country, management
anticipates that each trip will be sold out and that 120,000 passengers
will be carried each season. Ignore income taxes.
Instructions:
By using the net-present-value method, determine whether STL
Entertainment should acquire the boat. Assume a 14% desired return on
all investments,- round calculations to the nearest dollar.
Chapter 8 Problem 4:
12. 4. Equipment replacement decision
Columbia Enterprises is studying the replacement of some equipment
that originally cost $74,000. The equipment is expected to provide six
more years of service if $8,700 of major repairs are performed in two
years. Annual cash operating costs total $27,200. Columbia can sell the
equipment now for $36,000;the estimated residual value in six years is
$5,000.
New equipment is available that will reduce annual cash operating costs
to $21,000. The equipment costs $103,000, has a service life of six
years, and has an estimated residual value of $13,000. Company sales
will total $430,000 per year with either the existing or the new
equipment. Columbia has a minimum desired return of 12% and
depreciates all equipment by the straight-line method.
Instructions:
a. By using the net-present-value method, determine whether
Columbia should keep its present equipment or acquire the new
equipment. Round all calculations to the nearest dollar, and ignore
income taxes.
b. Columbia's management feels that the time value of money should
be considered in all long-term decisions. Briefly discuss the rationale
that underlies management's belief.
