Chapter 26 Capital Investment Analysis Student: _ The process by which management plans, evaluates, and controls long-term investment decisions involving fixed assets is called capital investment analysis True False The process by which management plans, evaluates, and controls long-term investment decisions involving fixed assets is called cost-volume-profit analysis True False Care must be taken involving capital investment decisions, since normally a long-term commitment of funds is involved and operations could be affected for many years True False Only managers are encouraged to submit capital investment proposals because they know the processes and are able to match investments with long-term goals True False The methods of evaluating capital investment proposals can be grouped into two general categories that can be referred to as (1) methods that ignore present value and (2) present values methods True False The methods of evaluating capital investment proposals can be grouped into two general categories that can be referred to as (1) average rate of return and (2) cash payback methods True False Average rate of return equals average investment divided by estimated average annual income True False Average rate of return equals estimated average annual income divided by average investment True False The method of analyzing capital investment proposals in which the estimated average annual income is divided by the average investment is the average rate of return method True False 10 The excess of the cash flowing in from revenues over the cash flowing out for expenses is termed net cash flow True False 11 The excess of the cash flowing in from revenues over the cash flowing out for expenses is termed net discounted cash flow True False 12 The computations involved in the net present value method of analyzing capital investment proposals are less involved than those for the average rate of return method True False 13 The computations involved in the net present value method of analyzing capital investment proposals are more involved than those for the average rate of return method True False 14 Methods that ignore present value in

present values True False 25 The expected period of time that will elapse between the date of a capital investment and the complete recovery in cash of the amount invested is called the discount period True False 26 The expected period of time that will elapse between the date of a capital investment and the complete recovery in cash of the amount invested is called the cash payback period True False 27 If a proposed expenditure of $70,000 for a fixed asset with a 4-year life has an annual expected net cash flow and net income of $32,000 and $12,000, respectively, the cash payback

reduced to their present values True False 32 If in evaluating a proposal by use of the net present value method there is a deficiency of the present value of future cash inflows over the amount to be invested, the proposal should be rejected True False 33 If in evaluating a proposal by use of the net present value method there is a deficiency of the present value of future cash inflows over the amount to be invested, the proposal should be accepted True False 34 If in evaluating a proposal by use of the net present value method there is an excess of the present value of future cash inflows over the amount to be invested, the rate of return on the proposal exceeds the rate used in the analysis True False 35 If in evaluating a proposal by use of the net present value method there is an excess of the present value of future cash inflows over the amount to be invested, the rate of return on the proposal is less than the rate used in the analysis True False 36 A present value index can be used to rank competing capital investment proposals when the net present value method is used True False 37 The internal rate of return method of analyzing capital investment proposals uses the present value concept to compute an internal rate of return expected from the proposals True False 38 A series of equal cash flows at fixed intervals is termed an annuity True False 39 A qualitative

process by which management allocates available investment funds among competing capital investment proposals is termed capital rationing True False 46 The payback method can be used only when net cash inflows are the same for each period True False 47 The accounting rate of return method of analyzing capital budgeting decisions measures the average rate of return from using the asset over its entire life True False 48 The accounting rate of return is a measure of profitability computed by dividing the average annual cash flows from an asset by the average amount invested in the asset True False 49 Net present value and the payback period are examples of discounted cash flow methods used in capital budgeting decisions True False 50 In calculating the net present value of an investment in equipment, the required investment and its terminal residual value should be subtracted from the present value of all future cash inflows True False 51 In calculating the present value of an investment in equipment, the present value of the terminal residual value should be added to the cash inflows True False 52 The time expected to pass before the net cash flows from an investment would return its initial cost is called the amortization period True False 53 A company is considering purchasing a machine for $21,000 The machine will generate income from operations of $2,000; annual

Why are capital investment analysis decisions often difficult and risky? Capital investment analysis is the process of analyzing alternative long-term investments and deciding which assets to acquire and/or sell Capital investment analysis decisions are difficult because they are usually based on predictions about an uncertain future These decisions involve large sums of money committed for long periods of time and may be irreversible 181 Briefly describe the time value of money Why is the time value of money important in capital investment analysis? The time value of money means that a dollar today is worth more than a dollar in the future Since capital investment analysis decisions are often based on cash flows which will be received in the future, managers often use a process called discounting in order to measure future cash flows in the value of today’s dollar ... decisions involving fixed assets is called: A absorption cost analysis B variable cost analysis C capital investment analysis D cost-volume-profit analysis 63 Decisions to install new equipment, replace... or construct a new building are examples of A sales mix analysis B variable cost analysis C capital investment analysis D variable cost analysis 64 Which of the following is important when evaluating... of return method of capital investment analysis gives consideration to the present value of future cash flows True False 19 The cash payback method of capital investment analysis is one of the
