Assume that each project has no salvage value, and the firm uses a discount rate of 10%. Top management has decided that only 2,200,000SAR can be spent in the current year for capital projects.

1. Compute the net present value (NPV), profitability index, and internal rate of return for each of the projects.

2. Rank the projects according to each method used in Part 1.

3. Explain how you would recommend to management of the company that the money should be spent. What would be the total NPV of your chosen investments?

4. What other methods could be used with this information to evaluate whether this project is feasible or not? How does the time value of money concept impact the cash flows and outcome?

You must show all your work in an Excel sheet.

Nature of Capital Investment Analysis
(slide 1 of 3)
• Companies use capital investment analysis to
evaluate long-term investments.
o Capital investment analysis (or capital budgeting) is
the process by which management plans, evaluates,
and controls investments in fixed assets.

Nature of Capital Investment Analysis
(slide 3 of 3)
• The two methods that use present values
consider the time value of money.
o The time value of money concept recognizes that
a dollar today is worth more than a dollar tomorrow
because today’s dollar can earn interest.

Methods Not Using Present Values
• The methods not using present values are often
useful in evaluating capital investment proposals
that have relatively short useful lives.
o In such cases, the timing of the cash flows (the time
value of money) is less important.
• Because the methods not using present values
are easy to use, they are often used to screen
proposals.

Average Rate of Return Method
(slide 1 of 5)
• The average rate of return, sometimes called the
accounting rate of return, measures the average
income as a percent of the average investment.
• The average rate of return is computed as follows:
o Assuming straight-line depreciation, the average
investment is computed as follows:

Average Rate of Return Method
(slide 4 of 5)
• The average rate of return of 20% should be
compared to the minimum rate of return required
by management.
o If the average rate of return equals or exceeds the
minimum rate, the machine should be purchased or
considered for further analysis.

Cash Payback Method
(slide 1 of 8)
• The expected period of time between the date of an
investment and the recovery in cash of the amount
invested is the cash payback period.
• When annual net cash inflows are equal, the cash
payback period is computed as follows:

Cash Payback Method
(slide 2 of 8)
• Assume that management is evaluating the purchase of
a new machine.
Cost of new machine
$200,000
Cash revenues from machine per year
$50,000
Expenses of machine per year, including depreciation
$30,000
Depreciation per year
$20,000

Cash Payback Method
(slide 3 of 8)
• To simplify, the revenues and expenses other than
depreciation are assumed to be in cash. Hence, the net
cash inflow per year from use of the machine is as
follows: Net cash flow per year:
Cash revenues from machine
$ 50,000
Cash expenses of machine
(10,000)*
Net cash inflow per year
$ 40,000
*Expenses of machine, including depreciation
$ 30,000
Depreciation expense

• The estimated cash payback period for the investment in
the machine is computed as follows:

Cash Payback Method
(slide 4 of 8)
• In the preceding example, the annual net cash inflows
are equal ($40,000 per year).
• When the annual net cash inflows are not equal, the
cash payback period is determined by adding the annual
net cash inflows until the cumulative total equals the
initial cost of the proposed investment.

Methods Using Present Values (slide 1 of 2)
• An investment in fixed assets may be viewed
as purchasing a series of net cash flows over
a period of time.
• The timing of when the net cash flows will be
received is important in determining the value
of a proposed investment.
• Present value methods use the amount and
timing of the net cash flows in evaluating an
investment.

Interest rate
12%
© 2020 Cengage Learning®. May not be scanned, copied or duplicated, or posted to a publicly accessible website, in whole or in part.
Present Value of an Amount
(slide 2 of 3)
• After one year, the $1 earns interest of $0.12 ($1
× 12%) and, thus, will grow to $1.12 ($1 × 1.12).
• In the second year, the $1.12 earns 12% interest
of $0.134 ($1.12 × 12%) and, thus, will grow to
$1.254 ($1.12 × $1.12) by the end of the second
year.
• By the end of the third year, your $1 investment
will grow to $1.404.
This process of interest earning interest is called
compounding.

Present Value of an Annuity
(slide 1 of 4)
• An annuity is a series of equal net cash flows
at fixed time intervals.
o Cash payments for monthly rent, salaries, and
bond interest are all examples of annuities.
• The present value of an annuity is the
amount of cash needed today to yield a series
of equal net cash flows at fixed time intervals
in the future.

Present Value of an Annuity
(slide 2 of 4)
• The present value of a $100 annuity for five
periods at 12% could be determined by using
the present value factors in the partial present
value of $1 table (see slide 28).
o Each $100 net cash flow could be multiplied by the
present value of $1 at a 12% factor for the
appropriate period and summed to determine a
present value of $360.50.

Net Present Value Method
(slide 1 of 6)
• The net present value method compares
the amount to be invested with the present
value of the net cash inflows.
o It is sometimes called the discounted cash flow
method.

Net Present Value Method
(slide 2 of 6)
• The interest rate (return) used in net present
value analysis is the company’s minimum
desired rate of return.
o This rate, sometimes termed the hurdle rate, is based
on such factors as the purpose of the investment and
the cost of obtaining funds for the investment.
• If the present value of the cash inflows equals or
exceeds the amount to be invested, the proposal
is desirable.

(slide 4 of 4)
• A project will have a present value index greater than
1 when the net present value is positive.
• When the net present value is negative, the present
value index will be less than 1.
• Proposal B is the most desirable.
o
Proposal B returns $1.08 present value per dollar invested,
whereas Proposal A returns only $1.07.
o
Proposal B requires an investment of $80,000, compared to
an investment of $100,000 for Proposal A.

Internal Rate of Return Method
(slide 1 of 6)
• The internal rate of return (I R R) method uses
present value concepts to compute the rate of
return from a capital investment proposal based
on its expected net cash flows.
o This method, sometimes called the time-adjusted rate
of return method, starts with the proposal’s net cash
flows and works backward to estimate the proposal’s
expected rate of return.

Internal Rate of Return Method
(slide 3 of 6)
• The $36,050 present value of the cash inflows, based
on a 12% rate of return, is greater than the $33,530 to
be invested. Thus, the internal rate of return must be
greater than 12%.
• Through trial and error, the rate of return equating the
$33,530 cost of the investment with the present value
of the net cash flows can be determined to be 15%.

Internal Rate of Return Method
(slide 4 of 6)
• When equal annual net cash flows are expected from a proposal, the
internal rate of return can be determined as follows:
o
Step 1: Determine a present value factor for an annuity of $1 as follows:
o
Step 2: Locate the present value factor determined in Step 1 in the
present value of an annuity of $1 table (see slide 34) as follows:
▪ Locate the number of years of expected useful life of the investment in the
Year column.
▪ Proceed horizontally across the table until you find the present value factor
computed in Step 1.
o
Step 3: Identify the internal rate of return by the heading of the column
in which the present value factor in Step 2 is located.

Net Present Value and Internal
Rate of Return Analyses
The management of Broncial Industries Inc. is considering a capital investment
project. The net cash flows expected from the project are $50,000 a year for seven
years. The project requires an investment of $243,400, and no residual value is
expected.
Determine:
a. The net present value for the project, using a minimum rate of return of 6% and the
present value of an annuity table appearing in this chapter (Slide 34).
b. The present value index. Round to two decimal places.
c. The internal rate of return for the project by (1) computing a present value factor for an
annuity of $1 and (2) using the present value of an annuity table appearing in this
chapter (Slide 34).

Income Tax
• The impact of income tax on capital investment
decisions can be material.
o For example, in determining depreciation for federal
income tax purposes, useful lives that are much
shorter than actual useful lives are often used.
o Also, depreciation for tax purposes often differs from
depreciation for financial statement purposes. As a
result, the timing of the cash flows for income taxes
can have a significant impact on capital investment
analysis.

Unequal Proposal Lives
(slide 1 of 2)
• The prior capital investment illustrations
assumed that the alternative proposals had
the same useful lives. In practice, however,
proposals often have different lives.
• Assume that a company is considering
purchasing a new truck or a new computer
network. The data for each proposal follow:

Lease Versus Capital Investment
• Some advantages of leasing a fixed asset include the
following:
o
The company has use of the fixed asset without spending large
amounts of cash to purchase the asset.
o
The company eliminates the risk of owning an obsolete asset.
o
The company may deduct the annual lease payments for income
tax purposes.
• A disadvantage of leasing a fixed asset is the following:
o
It is normally more costly than purchasing the asset.
▪ This is because the lessor (owner of the asset) includes in the rental
price not only the costs of owning the asset, but also a profit.
© 2020 Cengage Learning®. May not be scanned, copied or duplicated, or posted to a publicly accessible website, in whole or in part.
Uncertainty
• All capital investment analyses rely on factors
that are uncertain.
o For example, estimates of revenues, expenses,
and cash flows are uncertain.
© 2020 Cengage Learning®. May not be scanned, copied or duplicated, or posted to a publicly accessible website, in whole or in part.
Changes in Price Levels
(slide 1 of 2)
• Price levels normally change as the economy
improves or deteriorates.
o General price levels often increase in a rapidly growing
economy, which is called inflation.
▪ During such periods, the rate of return on an investment should
exceed the rising price level.
o If this is not the case, the cash returned on the
investment will be less than expected.
© 2020 Cengage Learning®. May not be scanned, copied or duplicated, or posted to a publicly accessible website, in whole or in part.
Changes in Price Levels
(slide 2 of 2)
• Price levels may also change for foreign
investments.
o This occurs as currency exchange rates change.
▪ Currency exchange rates are the rates at which currency in
another country can be exchanged for U.S. dollars.
– If the amount of local dollars that can be exchanged for one U.S.
dollar increases, then the local currency is said to be weakening
to the dollar.
– When a company has an investment in another country where
the local currency is weakening, the return on the investment, as
expressed in U.S. dollars, is adversely impacted. This is
because the expected amount of local currency returned on the
investment would purchase fewer U.S. dollars.

Qualitative Considerations
• Some benefits of capital investments are qualitative
in nature and cannot be estimated in dollar terms.
• Some examples of qualitative considerations that
may influence capital investment analysis include
the investment proposal’s impact on the following:
o Product quality
o Manufacturing flexibility
o Employee morale
o Manufacturing productivity
o Market (strategic) opportunities
© 2020 Cengage Learning®. May not be scanned, copied or duplicated, or posted to a publicly accessible website, in whole or in part.
Capital Rationing
• Capital rationing is the process by which management
allocates funds among competing capital investment
proposals.
o
Alternative proposals are initially screened by establishing
minimum standards, using the cash payback and the average
rate of return methods.
o
The proposals that survive this screening are further analyzed,
using the net present value and internal rate of return methods.
o
At the end of the capital rationing process, accepted proposals
are ranked and compared with the funds available.
▪ Proposals that are selected for funding are included in the capital
expenditures budget.
▪ Unfunded proposals may be reconsidered if funds later become
available.

Uncertainty: Sensitivity Analysis (slide 1 of 5)
• Sensitivity analysis considers the impact of changing
one or more inputs or assumptions on the resulting
answer (output) of an analysis.
• In capital investment analysis, the inputs are normally
estimated revenues, expenses, cash flows, useful life,
desired rate of return, and residual value of the
investment.
• The initial cost of an investment is normally known, but in
some cases, it may also be estimated.
o
For example, an investment may include estimated
construction costs.

Uncertainty: Sensitivity Analysis (slide 2 of 5)
• Assume that Bryant Inc. is considering an investment in
equipment based upon the following estimates:
Cost of equipment
$2,500,000
Residual value
$100,000
Annual net cash inflows
$600,000

Uncertainty: Sensitivity Analysis (slide 3 of 5)
• Based upon the preceding data, the net present value of the
equipment is computed as follows:
Present value of annual net cash flows ($600,000 × 4.487*)
$ 2,692,200
Present value of residual value ($100,000 × 0.327**)

• The positive net present value of $224,900 indicates that the
investment in the equipment is justified.
© 2020 Cengage Learning®. May not be scanned, copied or duplicated, or posted to a publicly accessible website, in whole or in part.
Uncertainty: Sensitivity Analysis (slide 4 of 5)
• Assume, however, that there is uncertainty concerning the estimated
annual net cash flows, which could be as low as $400,000 per year.
As a result, management requests a sensitivity analysis assuming
annual net cash flows of $400,000, $500,000, and $600,000.
o
The resulting sensitivity analysis of the net present values of the
equipment is as follows:
Estimated Annual Net Cash Flow
$400,000
$500,000
$600,000
$ 1,794,800

$500,000.

Uncertainty: Sensitivity Analysis (slide 5 of 5)
• The annual net cash flow necessary to generate a positive net
present value can be computed as follows:
• Annual net cash flows greater than $549,877 will generate a positive
net present value.
• Likewise, assuming annual net cash flows of $600,000, the
minimum number of years of useful life necessary to generate a
positive net present value can also be determined.

Uncertainty: Expected Value Analysis (slide 1 of 4)
• Expected value analysis assigns likelihoods
(probabilities) to various inputs, thus incorporating
uncertainty directly into the output (answer).
• Bryant Inc.’s decision on whether to invest in equipment
is used. Specifically, assume that Bryant has assigned
the following likelihoods (probabilities) to the possible
annual net cash flow:
Annual Net Cash Flow

• The expected value of the annual net cash flows is
determined by multiplying each of the possible annual
net cash flows by its probability of occurring.

Uncertainty: Expected Value Analysis (slide 3 of 4)
• The expected value of the annual net cash flows of
$560,000 is used to determine the expected net present
value of the equipment of $45,420, as follows:
Present value of annual net cash flows ($560,000 × 4.487*)
$ 2,512,720
Present value of residual value ($100,000 × 0.327**)

• The positive expected net present value of $45,420
justifies investing in the equipment.

Uncertainty: Expected Value Analysis (slide 4 of 4)
• By assigning probabilities to the various outcomes,
uncertainty is directly incorporated into the analysis.
• However, the “actual” annual net cash flows will likely
differ from the “estimated” annual net cash flows or the
“expected value” of the annual net cash flows.
o
In other words, because future events are being estimated,
uncertainty cannot be totally eliminated.

Preface
Roadmap for Success
Warren/Tayler Managerial Accounting, 15e, provides a sound pedagogy for giving s­ tudents a solid
foundation in managerial accounting. Warren/Tayler covers the fundamentals AND ­motivates students to learn by showing how accounting is important to businesses.
Warren/Tayler is successful because it reaches students with a combination of new and tried-andtested pedagogy.
This revision includes a range of new and existing features that help Warren/Tayler provide
­students with the context to see how accounting is valuable to business. These include:
▪▪ New! Make a Decision section
▪▪ New! Pathways Challenge
▪▪ New! Certified Management Accountant (CMA®) Examination Questions
Warren/Tayler also includes a thorough grounding in the fundamentals that any business student
will need to be successful. These key features include:
▪▪ Presentation style designed around the way students learn
▪▪ Updated schema
▪▪ At the start of each chapter, a schema, or roadmap, shows students what they are going to
learn and how it is connected to the larger picture. The schema illustrates how the chapter
content lays the foundation with managerial concepts and principles. Then it moves students
through developing the information and ultimately into evaluating and analyzing information
in order to make decisions.

introduced in the chapter are connected to the

This
shows
how
accountan increase in production from 20,000 units to 25,000 units means that the
fixed manufacturing
cost per unit decreases from $20 ($400,000 ÷ 20,000 units) to $16 ($400,000 ÷ 25,000 units). Thus,
ing is used in the real world by real companies.
the cost of goods sold when 25,000 units are manufactured is $4 per unit less, or $80,000 less in
total (20,000 units sold × $4). Since the cost of goods sold is less, operating income is $80,000
more when 25,000 units rather than 20,000 units are manufactured.
Managers should be careful in analyzing operating income under absorption costing when finished goods inventory changes. Increases in operating income may be created by simply increasing finished goods inventory. Thus, managers could misinterpret such increases (or decreases) in
operating income as due to changes in sales volume, prices, or costs.

Determining how much you could earn from each job may
not be as simple as comparing the wage rate per hour. For example, a job as an office clerk at a local company pays $8 per hour. A
job delivering pizza pays $10 per hour (including estimated tips),
although you must use your own transportation. Another job working in a beach resort over 500 miles away from your home pays $8
per hour. All three jobs offer 40 hours per week for the whole summer. If these options were ranked according to their pay per hour,
the pizza delivery job would be the most attractive. However, the
costs associated with each job must also be evaluated. For example, the office job may require that you pay for downtown parking and purchase office clothes. The pizza delivery job will require
you to pay for gas and maintenance for your car. The resort job will
require you to move to the resort city and incur additional living
costs. Only by considering the costs for each job will you be able to
determine which job will provide you with the most income.
Just as you should evaluate the relative income of various
choices, a business also evaluates the income earned from its
choices. Important choices include the products offered and the
geographical regions to be served.
A company will often evaluate the profitability of products
and regions. For example, Adobe Systems Inc. (ADBE),
one of the largest software companies in the world, determines
the income earned from its various product lines, such as Acrobat®,
Photoshop®, Premiere®, and Dreamweaver® software. Adobe uses
this information to establish product line pricing, as well as sales,
support, and development effort. Likewise, Adobe evaluates the
income earned in the geographic regions it serves, such as the
United States, Europe, and Asia. Again, such information aids management in managing revenue and expenses within the regions.
In this chapter, how businesses measure profitability using
absorption costing and variable costing is discussed. After illustrating and comparing these concepts, how businesses use them for
controlling costs, pricing products, planning production, analyzing
market segments, and analyzing contribution margins is described
and illustrated.

Adobe Systems
Under variable costing, operating income is $200,000, regardless of whether 20,000 units or
25,000 units are manufactured. This is because no fixed manufacturing costs are allocated to the
units manufactured. Instead, all fixed manufacturing costs are treated as a period expense.
To illustrate, Exhibit 8 shows the variable costing income statements for Frand for the
production of 20,000 units, 25,000 units, and 30,000 units. In each case, the operating income
is $200,000.

from international segments. Given the revenue segmentation,
this suggests that the international profit margins must be higher
than the North American profit margin. Indeed this is the case, as

By producing more cars than were sold, Ford (F) and General Motors (GM) increased their operating income reported under absorption costing. This is because a portion of their fixed manufacturing costs
were included in ending inventory rather than cost of goods sold.

Objective 6
Describe and
illustrate the use of
staffing budgets for
nonmanufacturing
businesses.
Nonmanufacturing Staffing Budgets
The budgeting illustrated in this chapter is similar to budgeting used for nonmanufacturing
businesses. However, many nonmanufacturing businesses often do not have direct materials
purchases budgets, direct labor cost budgets, or factory overhead cost budgets. Thus, the budgeted income statement is simplified in many nonmanufacturing settings.
A primary budget in nonmanufacturing businesses is the labor, or staffing, budget. This budget, which is highly flexible to service demands, is used to manage staffing levels. For example,
a theme park will have greater staffing in the summer vacation months than in the fall months.
Likewise, a retailer will have greater staffing during the holidays than on typical weekdays.
To illustrate, Concord Hotel operates a hotel in a business district. The hotel has 150 rooms
that average 120 guests per night during the weekdays and 50 guests per night during the weekend. The housekeeping staff is able to clean 10 rooms per employee. The number of housekeepers required for an average weekday and weekend is determined as follows:
Weekday
Weekend
120
÷ 10
12
50
÷ 10
5
Number of guests per day
Rooms per housekeeper
Number of housekeepers per day
If each housekeeper is paid $15 per hour for an eight-hour shift per day, the annual budget
for the staff is as follows:
Weekday
Number of housekeepers per day
Hours per shift
Days per year
Number of hours per year
Rate per hour

The budget can be used to plan and manage the staffing of the hotel. For example,
if a wedding were booked for the weekend, the budgeted increase in staffing could be
compared with the increased revenue from the wedding to verify the profit plan.

class can be a struggle. Point students to the key concepts they need to know before they attend
class.

chapter through an engaging auditory and visual presentation. Available either on a standalone basis or as an assignment, they are ideal for all class formats—flipped model, online,

Show Me How problem demonstration videos provide a step-by-step model of a similar problem. Embedded tips help students avoid common mistakes and pitfalls.

Preface
Help Students Go Beyond Memorization to True
Understanding
Students often struggle to understand how concepts relate to one another. For most students, an
introductory accounting course is their first exposure to both business transactions and the accounting system. While these concepts are already difficult to master individually, their combination
and interdependency in the introductory accounting course often pose a challenge for students.
▪▪ Mastery Problems. Mastery Problems enable you to assign problems and activities designed to
test students’ comprehension and mastery of difficult concepts.
