Net Present Value Method The following data are accumulated by Geddes Company in evaluating the purchase of $140,100 of equipment, having a four-year useful life: Net Income Net Cash Flow Year 1 $32,000 $54,000 Year 2 20,000 42,000 Year 3 9,000 31,000 Year 4 (1,000) 21,000 Present Value of $1 at Compound Interest Year 6% 10% 12% 15% 20% 1 0.943 0.909 0.893 0.870 0.833 2. 0.890 0.826 0.797 0.756 0.694 3 0.840 0.751 0.712 0.658 0.579 4 0.792 0.683 0.636 0.572 0.482 5 0.747 0.567 0.497 0.402 0.621 0.564 0.705 0.507 0.432 0.335 2 0.890 0.826 0.797 0.756 0.694 3 0.840 0.751 0.712 0.658 0.579 4 0.792 0.683 0.636 0.572 0.482 5 0.747 0.621 0.567 0.497 0.402 6 6 0.705 0.564 0.507 0.432 0.335 7 0.665 0.513 0.452 0.376 0.279 8 0.627 0.467 0.404 0.327 0.233 9 0.592 0.424 0.361 0.284 0.194 10 0.558 0.386 0.322 0.247 0.162 a. Assuming that the desired rate of return is 6%, determine the net present value for the proposal. Use the table of the present value of $1 presented above. If required, round to the nearest dollar. Present value of net cash flow Amount to be invested Net present value Internal Rate of Return Method The internal rate of return method is used by Testerman Construction Co. in analyzing a capital expenditure proposal that involves an investment of $73,600 and annual net cash flows of $10,000 for each of the 10 years of its useful life.

Determine a present value factor for an annuity of $1 which can be used in determining the internal rate of return. If required, round your answer to three decimal places. b. Using the factor determined in part (a) and the present value of an annuity of $1 table above, determine the internal rate of return for the proposal. %
