(A).

Spacely Sprockets Inc is a new start-up evaluating a new project. They worry that they don't have all the requisite operating information they will need to estimate Cash Flows From Assets and that they wouldn't be able to evaluate this project based on NPV and IRR (which both use the CFFA's to evaluate). Instead they have decided to use the Average Accounting Return (AAR) rule to evaluate the project. What is the AAR for this project? (Enter your answer as a percentage and Round to 2 decimals)

(B). Your firm is evaluating a capital budgeting project. The estimated cash flows appear below. The board of directors wants to know the expected impact on shareholder wealth. Knowing that the estimated impact on shareholder wealth equates to net present value (NPV), you use your handy calculator to compute the value. What is the project's NPV? Assume that the cash flows occur at the end of each year. The discount rate (i.e., required rate of return, hurdle rate) is 20.4%. (Round to nearest penny)

Year 3 cash flow 31,000
Year 4 cash flow 31,000
