Cardinal Company is considering a five-year project that would require a $2,765,000 investment in equipment with a useful life of five years and no salvage value. The companys discount rate is 14%. The project would provide net operating income in each of five years as follows:
| Sales | $ | 2,851,000 | ||
| Variable expenses | 1,150,000 | |||
| Contribution margin | 1,701,000 | |||
| Fixed expenses: | ||||
| Advertising, salaries, and other fixed out-of-pocket costs | $ | 670,000 | ||
| Depreciation | 553,000 | |||
| Total fixed expenses | 1,223,000 | |||
| Net operating income | $ | 478,000 | ||
8. Assume a postaudit showed that all estimates (including total sales) were exactly correct except for the variable expense ratio, which actually turned out to be 50%. What was the projects actual net present value? (Negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign. Round intermediate calculations and final answer to the nearest whole dollar amount
9. Assume a postaudit showed that all estimates (including total sales) were exactly correct except for the variable expense ratio, which actually turned out to be 50%. What was the projects actual payback period? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
10. Assume a postaudit showed that all estimates (including total sales) were exactly correct except for the variable expense ratio, which actually turned out to be 50%. What was the projects actual simple rate of return? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
