Question

Brief Exercise 26-6 Quillen Company is performing a post-audit of a project completed one year ago. The initial estimates were that the project would cost $224,418, would have a useful life of 9 years, zero salvage value, and would result in net annual cash flows of $44,900 per year. Now that the investment has been in operation for 1 year, revised figures indicate that it actually cost $227,644, will have a total useful life of 11 years, and will produce net annual cash flows of $37,500 per year.Click here to view PV table Evaluate the success of the project. Assume a discount rate of 12%. (If the net present value is negative, use either a negative sign preceding the number eg-45 or parentheses eg (45).

Answer 1

(1)

Net present value = present value of annual net cash flow - initial investment

= ($44900 x PVAF) - $224418

= ($44900 x 5.32825) - $224418

= $239238.425 - $224418

= $14820

where,

PVAF(12%,9) = 5.32825

(2)

Net present value = present value of annual net cash flow - initial investment

= ($37500 x PVAF) - $227644

= ($37500 x 5.93770) - $227644

= $222663.75 - $227644

= -$4980

where,

PVAF(12%,11) = 5.93770

CONCLUSION:

The project is not a success.
