If the investment had a $100,000 residual value, the payback period would not be affected. The cash inflow from any
residual value would occur at the end of the asset’s useful operating life and is not taken into account when calculating
the payback period.
The payback period if the DVR project had a residual value of $100,000 is 2.24 years.
The payback period is less than 3.5 years, so it passes Arpegio’s initial screening.

If the MP3 player project had a $100,000 residual value, the ARR would change. Specifically, the residual value would
cause the yearly depreciation expense to decrease, which will cause the average annual operating income from the
investment to increase.

company’s screening rule in both cases.

We solve for the IRR by first finding the Annuity PV factor associated with the investment:
$650,000
=
Annuity PV factor (n = 9, i = ?)
$90,000
7.22
=
Annuity PV factor (n = 9, i = ?)
7.22 falls between 6% and 8% at a period of 9 years. Therefore, the IRR is between 6% and 8%.

1.
Julie does not include an estimate of maintenance costs
associated with a new computer system. She knows that
her department needs the computer system. If the
maintenance costs were included in the estimate, the
computer system purchase might not be approved.
Credibility - Disclose all relevant information that
could reasonably be expected to influence an
intended user's understanding of the reports,
analyses, or recommendations.
2.
Geoffrey is a staff accountant. He has recently been
moved into a position where he will be working on capital
budgeting proposals. Geoffrey does not know how to
make an NPV calculation, but he does not take the steps
to acquire the skills. He figures he can just use ARR and
payback for investment analysis instead.
Competence - Maintain an appropriate level of
professional expertise by continually developing
knowledge and skills.
3.
Terrance's company is in negotiations to purchase a
complex computer system from one of its suppliers.
Terrance, a management accountant, does not disclose
that his mother is a major stockholder of the supplier.
Integrity - Mitigate actual conflicts of interest,
regularly communicate with business associates t
avoid apparent conflicts of interest. Advise all
parties of any potential conflicts.
4.
Anthony is anxious to impress his date, Sonja. Sonja
works in Purchasing, while Anthony works in Accounting.
When they start talking about people they work with,
Anthony shares salary information about each person.
Confidentiality - Keep information confidential
except when disclosure is authorized or legally
required.
5.
Marcella accepts a kickback payment from a contractor to
make sure that the contactor's bid is accepted.

that would prejudice carrying out duties ethically

1) The equipment’s net present value (NPV) is calculated as follows. Since each annual cash inflow is unique, we
cannot use the annuity table. We must discount each annual cash inflow using the PV Factors found in the Present

Kerwin Industries should not invest in the equipment because its NPV is negative.
2) Kerwin must determine whether the equipment investment becomes favorable (positive NPV) if the equipment is
refurbished, used for one more year, and then sold. The following analysis needs to be added to the NPV
computations above:

The refurbishment provides a positive NPV. The refurbishment NPV ($79,352) is not large enough to overcome the
original negative NPV of the equipment ($81,352). Therefore, the refurbishment should not alter Kerwin Industries’
decision to turn down the equipment investment.
