Question: Cardinal Company is considering a five-year project that would require a $2,805,000 investment in equipment with a useful life of five years and no salvage
| Cardinal Company is considering a five-year project that would require a $2,805,000 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 | $ | 2,741,000 | ||
| Variable expenses | 1,125,000 | |||
| Contribution margin | 1,616,000 | |||
| Fixed expenses: | ||||
| Advertising, salaries, and other fixed out-of-pocket costs | $ | 642,000 | ||
| Depreciation | 561,000 | |||
| Total fixed expenses | 1,203,000 | |||
| Net operating income | $ | 413,000 | ||
|
| ||||
6. What is the projects payback period? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
7.What is the projects simple rate of return for each of the five years? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places. i.e. 0.12342 should be considered as 12.34%.)
12. 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 discount factor(s) to 3 decimal places, intermediate calculations and final answer to the nearest whole dollar amount.)
