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