Average Rate of Return Method o The average rate of return, sometimes called the accounting rate of return, measures the average income as a percent of the average investment. The average rate of return is computed as follows: Average Rate of Return Estimated Average Annual Income Average Investment = (Initial Cost + Residual Value)/2

10. c. 2014 Cengage Learning. All Rights Reserved. May not be copied, scanned, or duplicated, or posted to a publicly accessible website, in whole or in part. Average Rate of Return Method o Management is evaluating the purchase of a new machine as follows: Machine cost$500,000 Residual value0 Estimated total income from machine200,000 Expected useful life4 years Average Rate of Return Estimated Average Annual Income Average Investment = Average Rate of Return $200,000/4 ($500,000 + $0)/2 = 20% = 20%

11. c. 2014 Cengage Learning. All Rights Reserved. May not be copied, scanned, or duplicated, or posted to a publicly accessible website, in whole or in part. Average Rate of Return Method o The average rate of return of 20% should be compared to the minimum rate of return required by management. If the average rate of return equals or exceeds the minimum rate, the machine should be purchased or considered for further analysis.

12. c. 2014 Cengage Learning. All Rights Reserved. May not be copied, scanned, or duplicated, or posted to a publicly accessible website, in whole or in part. Average Rate of Return Method o The average rate of return has the following three advantages:  It is easy to compute.  It includes the entire amount of income earned over the life of the proposal.  It emphasizes accounting income.

13. c. 2014 Cengage Learning. All Rights Reserved. May not be copied, scanned, or duplicated, or posted to a publicly accessible website, in whole or in part. Average Rate of Return Method o The average rate of return has the following two disadvantages:  It does not directly consider the expected cash flows from the proposal.  It does not directly consider the timing of the expected cash flows.

22. c. 2014 Cengage Learning. All Rights Reserved. May not be copied, scanned, or duplicated, or posted to a publicly accessible website, in whole or in part. Present Value Concepts o Both the net present value and the internal rate of return methods use the following two present value concepts:  Present value of an amount  Present value of an annuity

23. c. 2014 Cengage Learning. All Rights Reserved. May not be copied, scanned, or duplicated, or posted to a publicly accessible website, in whole or in part. Present Value of an Amount o If you had $1 to invest for three years at 12%, how much would you have after one year? By the end of the second year? By the end of the third year? $1 x 1.12 = $1.12 $1.12 x 1.12 = $1.254 $1.254 x 1.12 = $1.404

24. c. 2014 Cengage Learning. All Rights Reserved. May not be copied, scanned, or duplicated, or posted to a publicly accessible website, in whole or in part. Present Value of an Amount o This process of interest earning interest is called compounding. The illustration below demonstrates the concept of compounding.

25. c. 2014 Cengage Learning. All Rights Reserved. May not be copied, scanned, or duplicated, or posted to a publicly accessible website, in whole or in part. Present Value of an Amount o On January 1, 2014, what is the present value of $1.404 to be received on December 31, 2016 (assuming an interest rate of 12 percent)? To determine the answer, we need to go to Exhibit 1 (next slide) and find the table value for three years at 12 percent. Using the PV of $1 Table

41. c. 2014 Cengage Learning. All Rights Reserved. May not be copied, scanned, or duplicated, or posted to a publicly accessible website, in whole or in part. Net Present Value Method o The net present value method has the following three advantages:  It considers the cash flows of the investment.  It considers the time value of money.  It can rank equal lived projects using the present value index.

42. c. 2014 Cengage Learning. All Rights Reserved. May not be copied, scanned, or duplicated, or posted to a publicly accessible website, in whole or in part. Net Present Value Method o The net present value method has the following two disadvantages:  It has more complex computations than methods that don’t use present value.  It assumes the cash flows can be reinvested at the minimum desired rate of return, which may not be valid.

43. c. 2014 Cengage Learning. All Rights Reserved. May not be copied, scanned, or duplicated, or posted to a publicly accessible website, in whole or in part. Internal Rate of Return Method o The internal rate of return (IRR) method uses present value concepts to compute the rate of return from a capital investment proposal based on its expected net cash flows. o This method, sometimes called the time- adjusted rate of return method, starts with the proposal’s net cash flows and works backward to estimate the proposal’s expected rate of return.
