b.
Note to instructor: The net present value calculation is the best of the three capital budgeting
models because it is based on cash flows and because it considers profitability and the time
value of money. Each of the other two simpler models ignores two of these factors.
Based upon the above analysis, Proposal A is the best investment of the two proposals
under consideration. Both proposals have acceptable payback periods (less than the useful
life of fixtures). However, the lower net present value and rate of return on investment of
Proposal B suggests rejection of this proposal. The positive net present value and
acceptable rate of return on investment (higher than management’s required 10%) of
Proposal A indicates that this option is the more profitable alternative.
Proposal B
Payback period:
$310,000 ÷ $70,000 = 4.4 years
($75,000 – $29,000) ÷ [($300,000 + $10,000) ÷ 2]
$46,000 ÷ $155,000 = 29.7%
