- The School District is considering the purchase of two school buses. At present, school children are transported to and from the schools in the area using private bus drivers. The new school buses will cost US$54,530 and will have a useful life of 11 years. They will have negligible scrap value, which can be ignored. The new school buses would be more cost-effective, resulting in labor savings of $10,000 per year. What are the Factor of the Internal Rate of Return, and the discount factor (%) that will give a Net Present Value of 0?arrow_forwardCharlie Brown is thinking about starting Wing-It Airlines to fly a commuter route in and out of a major city. Four planes are on the market that will do the job, but each has different flight, load, and operating characteristics. Charlie is unsure of the demand for his service, and feels that it may depend to some extent on the type of plane chosen. Whether or not the business is feasible may depend on which airplane is used in conjunction with the demand estimate assumed. Are capital budgeting techniques appropriate for analysis of this problem? If so, is the issue a stand-alone or mutually exclusive decision?arrow_forwardDifend Cleaners has been considering the purchase of an industrial dry-cleaning machine. The existing machine is operable for three more years and will have a zero disposal price. If the machine is disposed now, it may be sold for $170,000. The new machine will cost $360,000 and an additional cash investment in working capital of $170,000 will be required. The new machine will reduce the average amount of time required to wash clothing and will decrease labor costs. The investment is expected to net $130,000 in additional cash inflows during the first year of acquisition and $290,000 each additional year of use. The new machine has a three-year life, and zero disposal value. These cash flows will generally occur throughout the year and are recognized at the end of each year. Income taxes are not considered in this problem. The working capital investment will not be recovered at the end of the asset's life. What is the net present value of the investment, assuming the required rate of…arrow_forward
