Value Index
ACC 543 Exercise 22-6A Using a flexible budget to
accommodate market uncertainty
Exercise 24-1 Net Present Value/Present Value
Index The management team at Savage Corporation
is evaluating two alternative capital investment
opportunities. The first alternative, modernizing
the companys current machinery, costs 45,000.
Management estimates the modernization project
will reduce annual net cash outflows by 12,500
per year for the next five years. The second
alternative, purchasing a new machine, costs
56,500.
Exercise 22-6A Using a flexible budget to
accommodate market uncertainty According to its
original plan, Katta Consulting Services Company
would charge its customers for service at 200
per hour in 2006. The company president expects
consulting services provided to customers to
reach 40,000 hours at that rate. The marketing
manager, however, argues that actual results may
range from 35,000 hours to 45,000 hours because
of market uncertainty. Kattas standard variable
cost is 90 per hour, and its standard fixed cost
is 3,000,000.

value of an annuity
ACC 543 Exercise 24-3A Present Value Analysis
Exercise 24-4A Determining the present value of
an annuity The dean of the School of Social
Science is trying to decide whether to purchase a
copy machine to place in the lobby of the
building. The machine would add to student
convenience, but the dean feels compelled to earn
an 8 percent return on the investment of funds.
Estimates of cash inflows from copy machines that
have been placed in other university buildings
indicate that the copy machine would probably
produce incremental cash inflows of approximately
8,000 per year.

immediately. Ms. Smalley desires to earn a rate
of return of 12 percent. Required a. Assuming
that the retirement benefit is the only
consideration in making the retirement decision,
should Ms. Smalley accept her employers offer?
b. Identify the factors that cause the present
value of the retirement benefit to be less than
300,000.
