City Hospital, a nonprofit organization, estimates that it can save $28,000 a year in cash operating costs for the next 10 years if it buys a special-purpose eye testing machine at a cost of$110,000.

City Hospital uses straight-line depreciation. 1. Calculate the following for the special-purpose eye-testing machine: a. Net present value b. Payback period c. Internal rate of return d. Accrual accounting rate of return based on net initial investment e. Accrual accounting rate of return based on average investment 2. What other factors should City Hospital consider in deciding whether to purchase the special-purpose eye-testing machine?

Liam Mitchell, a manager of the Plate Division for the Harvest Manufacturing company, has the opportunity to expand the division by investing in additional machinery costing $495,000. He would depreciate the equipment using the straight-line method and expects it to have no residual value. It has a useful life of 9 years. The firm mandates a required after-tax rate of return of 14% on investments. Liam estimates annual net cash inflows for this investment of$130,000 before taxes and an investment in working capital of $5,000 that will be returned at the project’s end. Harvest’s tax rate is 30%. 1. Calculate the net present value of this investment. 2. Calculate the accrual accounting rate of return based on net initial investment for this project. 3. Should Liam accept the project? Will Liam accept the project if his bonus depends on achieving an accrual accounting rate of return of 14%? How can this conflict be resolved?
