capital investment analysis (capital budgeting)
the process by which management plans, evaluates, and controls investments in fixed assets
time value of money concept
recognizes that an amount of cash invested today will earn income and therefore has value over time
average rate of return (accounting rate of return)
a measure of the average income asa percent of the average investment in fixed assets
cash payback period
the expected period of time that will pass the date of an investment and the complete recovery in cash (or equivalent) of the amount invested in
net cash flow
the excess of the cash flowing in from revenue over the csh flowing out for expenses
present value concepts
can be divided into the present value of an amount and the present value of an annuity. annuity
annuity
a series of equal net cash flows at fixed time intervals
present value of an annuity
the sum of the present values of each cash flow
net present value method (discounted cash flow method)
analyzes capital investment proposals by comparing the initial cash investment with the present value of the net cash flows
present value index
calculated by dividing the total present value of the net cash flow by the amount to be invested
initial rate of return method (time-adjusted rate of return method)
uses present value concepts to compute the rate of return form the net cash flows expected from capital investment proposals
inflation
occurs when general price levels are rising
currency exchange rates
the rates at which currency in another country can be exchanged for U.S. dollars
capital rationing
the process by which management allocates these funds among competing capital investment proposals

average rate of return cash payback
management is considering a $100,000 investment in a project with a 5-year life and no residual value. if the total income from the project is expected to be $60,000 and recognition is given to the effect of straight-line depreciation on the investment, the average rate of return is...
(60,000/5)/(100,000-0)/2 = 24%
the expected period of time that will elapse between the date of a capital investment an the complete recovery of the amount of cash invested is called...
the cash payback period
average rate of return
a measure of the anticipated profitability of a proposal
net present value method
reduces the expected future net cash flows originating from ta proposal to their present values
internal rate of return method
uses present value concepts to compute the rate of return from the net cash flows expected from the investment
a project that will cost $120,000 is estimated to generate cash flows of $25,000 per year for eight years. what is the net present value for the project, assuming an 11% required rate of return?
page 1016 for answer
a project is estimated to generate cash flows of $40,000 per year for 10 years. the cost of the project is $226,009. What is the internal rate of return for this project?
226,009/40,000 = 5.65022
