Straight-line depreciation will be used, and no residual value is expected. The committee has selected a rate of 12% for purposes of the net present value analysis. 0.943 0.890 Present Value of $1 at Compound Interest 10% 0.840 0.909 Net Cash Flow 0.826 $182,000 182,000 182,000 182,000 182,000 $910,000 0.751 12% 0.893 0.797 0.712 15% 0.870 Income from Operations 0.756 0.658 $120,000 91,000 46,000 20,000 8,000 $285,000 20% 0.833 0.694 Net Cash Flow 0.579 $291,000 246,000 173,000 118,000 82,000 $910,000

verage Rate of Return Method, Not Present Value Method, and Analysis he capital investment committee of Elis Transport and Storage Inc. is considering two investment projects. The estimated income from perations and net cash flows from each investment are as follows: Each project requires an investment of $600,000. Straight-line depreciation will be used, and no residual value is expected. The committee has selected a rate of 12% for purposes of the net present value analysis. 1a. Compute the average rate of return for each investment. 16. Compute the net present velue for each investment. Use the present value of s1 table above. If required, use the minus sign to indicate a negative net present value. If required, round to the nearest dollar. 2. The warehouse has a net present value as tracking technology cash flows occur in time. Thus, If only one of the two projects can be accepted, the would be the more attractive
