Par Company has decided to invest in some new equipment.

The equipment will have a three-year

life and will produce a uniform series of cash savings. The net present value of the equipment is P1,750,

using a discount rate of 8 percent. The internal rate of return is 12 percent.

Present values at 8% and 12% respectively:

8%: Annuity – 2.5771; end of 3 periods, 0.7938

12%: Annuity – 2,4018; end of 3 periods, 0.7118

What is the amount of annual cash inflow?

a. P 23,240

b. P 21,342

c. P 9,980

d. P 12,351

12. Sy Inc., is considering investing in automated equipment with a ten-year useful life. Managers at Sy

have estimated the cash flows associated with the tangible costs and benefits of automation, but have
been

unable to estimate the cash flows associated with the intangible benefits. Using the company’s 10%

discount rate, the net present value of the cash flows associated with just the tangible costs and
benefits is

a negative P184,350. The present value of annuity of 1 at 10 percent for ten years is 6.145 while the

present value of 1 is 0.386. How large would the annual net cash inflows from the intangible benefits

have to be to make this a financially acceptable investment?

a. P 18,435.

b. P 30,000.

c. P 35,000.

d. P 37,236.

13. Mar Co. is considering the purchase of a new ocean-going vessel that could potentially reduce labor

costs of its operation by a considerable margin. The new ship would cost P500,000 and would be fully

depreciated by the straight-line method over 10 years. At the end of 10 years, the ship will have no
value

and will be sunk in some already polluted harbor. The Mar Co.’s cost of capital is 12 percent, and its

marginal tax rate is 40 percent. If the ship produces equal annual labor cost savings over its 10-year life,
how much do the annual savings in labor costs need to be to generate a net present value of P0 on the

project?

Use the following PV: annuity of 1, 10 periods at 12% - 5.6502; end of 10th period – 0.32197.

a. P 68,492

b. P 147,487

c. P 114,154

d. P 88,492

14. Rose Company invested in a machine with a useful life of six years and no salvage value. The

machine was depreciated using the straight-line method. It was expected to produce annual cash inflow

from operations, net of income taxes, of P6,000. The present value of an ordinary annuity of P1 for six

periods at 10% is 4.355. The present value of P1 for six periods at 10% is 0.564. Assuming that Rose

used a time- adjusted rate of return of 10%, what was the amount of the original investment?

a. P 10,640

b. P 29,510

c. P 22,750

d. P 26,130

15. Wade Company is planning to buy a coin-operated machine costing P400,000. For book and tax

purposes, this machine will be depreciated P80,000 each year for five years. Wade estimates that this

machine will yield an annual inflow, net of depreciation and income taxes, of P120,000. Wade’s desired

rate of return on its investments is 12%. At the following discount rates, the NPVs of the investment in

this machine are:

Discount Rate NPV

12% +P3,258

14% + 1,197

16% - 708
