83. When several alternative investment proposals of the same amount are being considered, the one with the largest net present value is the most desirable. If the alternative proposals involve different amounts of investment, it is useful to prepare a relative ranking of the proposals by using a(n): A. average rate of returnB. consumer price indexC. present value indexD. price-level index

 

84. Which method of evaluating capital investment proposals uses present value concepts to compute the rate of return from the net cash flows expected from capital investment proposals? A. Internal rate of returnB. Cash paybackC. Net present valueD. Average rate of return

 

85. A series of equal cash flows at fixed intervals is termed a(n): A. present value indexB. price-level indexC. net cash flowD. annuity

 

86. The present value index is computed using which of the following formulas? A. Amount to be invested/Average rate of returnB. Total present value of net cash flow/Amount to be investedC. Total present value of net cash flow/Average rate of returnD. Amount to be invested/Total present value of net cash flow

 

87. Hazard Company is considering the acquisition of a machine that costs $525,000. The machine is expected to have a useful life of 6 years, a negligible residual value, an annual cash flow of $150,000, and annual operating income of $87,500. What is the estimated cash payback period for the machine? A. 3 yearsB. 4.3 yearsC. 3.5 yearsD. 5 years

 

88. The expected average rate of return for a proposed investment of $8,000,000 in a fixed asset, using straight line depreciation, with a useful life of 20 years, no residual value, and an expected total net income of $12,000,000 is: A. 15%B. 12%C. 40%D. 7.5%

 

89. The present value factor for an annuity of $1 is determined using which of the following formulas? A. Amount to be invested/Annual average net incomeB. Annual net cash flow/Amount to be investedC. Annual average net income/Amount to be investedD. Amount to be invested/Equal annual net cash flows

 

90. The management of Nebraska Corporation is considering the purchase of a new machine costing $490,000. The company’s desired rate of return is 10%.
