Q

net present value when cash flow is same amt each year

A

Step 1: find annual net cash flow (income+depreciation)

Step 2: Find PV of annuity of $1 % (found on chart: # useful years > % return needed)

Step 3: find present value of net cash flow = net cash flow (from 1) * PV of annuity of $1 (step 2)

Step 4: PV of annual net cash flow - cost of investment

NOTE: when calculating cash flow * PV, multiply the PV of 1 factor by each useful life year by income, multiply the salvage value (if applicable) by the last useful year’s PV rate

Q

net present value when cash flow differs each year

A

Step 1: find annual net cash flow for each year (income+depreciation)

Step 2: Find PV of 1 for each year (found on chart: the year > % return needed)

Step 3: find present value of net cash flow = net cash flow (from 1) * PV of 1 (step 2) for each year

Step 4: sum the PV of annual net cash flow of all of the years

Q

Cost centers are evaluated on their control of costs. Therefore, it is appropriate to prepare a departmental income statement to evaluate a cost center. True or false?

A
