For the following exercise, complete the calculations below.Evaluate different capital investment appraisal techniques bycompleting the calculations shown below:

Bongo Ltd. is considering the selection of one of two mutuallyexclusive projects. Both would involve purchasing machinery with anestimated useful life of 5 years.

Project 1 would generate annual cash flows (receipts lesspayments) of £200,000; the machinery would cost £556,000 with ascrap value of £56,000.

Project 2 would generate cash flows of £500,000 per annum; themachinery would cost £1,616,000 with a scrap value of £301,000.

Bongo uses straight-line depreciation. Its cost of capital is15% per annum.

Assume that all cash flows arise on the anniversaries of theinitial outlay, that there are no price changes over the projectlives, and that accepting either project will have no impact onworking capital requirements.

Assess the choice using the following methods by completing thecalculations shown below:

ARR

NPV

IRR

Payback period

Calculate the missing answers:

Project 1 Project 2
ARR (seeworkings) 33% ???
NPV (£’000) ??? 210
IRR 25% ???
Payback Period(yrs) ??? 3.2

ARR workings (Project 1)

Cash flows 200
Less: depreciation (see below) 100
Accounting profits 100

These profits are the same each year in this question.

Annual depreciation (Cost – SV) / 5

(556,000 – 56,000) / 5 100

Average NBV of investments

(556 + 56) /2 306
ARR 33%

Be sure to demonstrate your workings.
