Lon Timur is an accounting major at a midwestern state
university located approximately 60 miles from a major city. Many
of the students attending the university are from the metropolitan
area and visit their homes regularly on the weekends. Lon, an
entrepreneur at heart, realizes that few good commuting
alternatives are available for students doing weekend travel. He
believes that a weekend commuting service could be organized and
run profitably from several suburban and downtown shopping mall
locations. Lon has gathered the following investment
information.
1. | Five used vans would cost a total of $75,096 to purchase and would have a 3-year useful life with negligible salvage value. Lon plans to use straight-line depreciation. | ||
2. | Ten drivers would have to be employed at a total payroll expense of $48,600. | ||
3. | Other annual out-of-pocket expenses associated with running the commuter service would include Gasoline $15,800, Maintenance $3,100, Repairs $3,900, Insurance $4,300, and Advertising $2,500. | ||
4. | Lon has visited several financial institutions to discuss funding. The best interest rate he has been able to negotiate is 15%. Use this rate for cost of capital. | ||
5. | Lon expects each van to make ten round trips weekly and carry an average of six students each trip. The service is expected to operate 30 weeks each year, and each student will be charged $12 for a round-trip ticket. |

(c)
Compute the net present value of the commuter service.
(Round answer to 0 decimal places, e.g. 125. If the net
present value is negative, use either a negative sign preceding the
number eg -45 or parentheses eg (45). For
calculation purposes, use 5 decimal places as displayed in the
factor table provided.)
Net present value |
|
(a)
Net Income=Sales- Depreciation - Payroll expense- Out of pocket expenses
Sales = No of vans X No of Trips per week X No of weeks per year X No of Students per van X Price for each trip
=5 X 10 X 30 X 6 X12
= $108000
Payroll Expense = $48600
Out of Pocket Expense=$ 15800+ $ 3100+ $ 3900 +$ 4300+ $ 2500
=$ 29600
Depreciation =Total Cost / No of useful life
=75 ,096/ 3
=$ 25,032
Net Income= $108000-48600-29600-25032
= $ 4768
Net annual cash flows = Sales- Out of pocket expenses - Payroll Cost
=108000-48600-29600
=$ 29,800
( b)
Cash back period = Initial Investment / Annual cash flows
Cash Back period =75096/29800
= 2.52 years
Annual Rate of return = Annual income/ Initial investment *100
= 4768/75096*100
=6.35 %
(c) Net present Value = PV of cash flows - Initial investment
P V Of Cash Flows - Pv values taken from chart with cost of capital 15%
PV = 29800* 0.8697+ 29800*.75614+29800*.65752
=25917+22532+19594
= $ 68043
Net present Value = $ 68043- $ 75096
=$ 7053
