1.Exercise 24-1 Payback period computation; even cash flows L.O. P1
|
Compute the payback period for each of these two separate investments: |
| a. |
A new operating system for an existing machine is expected to cost $2 60,000 and have a useful life of five years. The system yields an incremental after-tax income of $ 75,000 each year after deducting its straight-line depreciation. The predicted salvage value of the system is $10,000. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) |

| b. |
A machine costs $190,000, has a $10,000 salvage value, is expected to last nine years, and will generate an after-tax income of $ 30,000 per year after straight-line depreciation. (Round your answer to 1 decimal place.) |

Exercise 24-3 Payback period computation; declining-balance depreciation L.O. P1
|
A machine can be purchased for $300,000 and used for 5 years, yielding the following net incomes. In projecting net incomes, double-declining balance depreciation is applied, using a 5-year life and a $ 50,000 salvage value. |

Exercise 24-4 Accounting rate of return L.O. P2
|
A machine costs $500,000 and is expected to yield an after-tax net income of $ 15,000 each year. Management predicts this machine has a 10-year service life and a $100,000 salvage value, and it uses straight-line depreciation. Compute this machine’s accounting rate of return. (Omit the “%” sign in your response.) |

Exercise 24-6 Computing net present value L.O. P3
|
K2B Co. is considering the purchase of equipment that would allow the company to add a new product to its line. The equipment is expected to cost $240,000 with a 12-year life and no salvage value. It will be depreciated on a straight-line basis. K2B Co. concludes that it must earn at least a 8% return on this investment. The company expects to sell 96,000 units of the equipment’s product each year. The expected annual income related to this equipment follows. (Use Table B.3) |
