Wayne company is considering a long-term investment project called zip. zip will require an investment of $116,440. it will have a useful life of 4 years and no salvage value. annual revenues would increase by $80,900, and annual expenses (excluding depreciation) would increase by $39,100. wayne uses the straight-line method to compute depreciation expense. the company’s required rate of return is 19%. compute the annual rate of return. (round answer to 0 decimal places, e. g. 15%.) annual rate of return % determine whether the project is acceptable? the project.

It should be rejected

IRR 16.23% while cost of capital 19%

Explanation:

investment: 116,440

useful life of 4 years

It will increase revenue by 80,900

and expense by 39,100

The net cash flow will be of 41,800

Now we calculate the IRR of the projectwhich isthe rate at which the annuity PV equal the investment

C$41,800

time4 years

PV$116,440

we can look at the PV table for the vlaue of the factor on time 4 which is closest to the IRR facor:

That's between 16% and 17%

we can now do trial and error on the rate between this number

or we can also solve for using Excel or a fianncial calculator

the IRR will be 0.1623 = 16.23%

With this information we have the decision on the project.

The required return is 19% and the IRR will be between 16 and 17% so it should be rejected
