Capital Rationing Decision Involving Four Proposals
Kopecky Industries Inc. is considering allocating a limitedamount of capital investment funds among four proposals. The amountof proposed investment, estimated income from operations, and netcash flow for each proposal are as follows:

The company’s capital rationing policy requires a maximum cashpayback period of three years. In addition, a minimum average rateof return of 12% is required on all projects. If the precedingstandards are met, the net present value method and present valueindexes are used to rank the remaining proposals.

Required:
1. Giving effect to straight-line depreciationon the investments and assuming no estimated residual value,compute the average rate of return for each of the four proposals.Round to one decimal place.
Average Rate of Return | |
Proposal Sierra | % |
Proposal Tango | % |
Proposal Uniform | % |
Proposal Victor | % |
2. For the proposals accepted for furtheranalysis in part (3), compute the net present value. Use a rate of12% and the present value of $1 table above. If required, use theminus sign to indicate a negative net present value.
Select the proposal accepted for further analysis. | Proposal Tango | Proposal Uniform |

3. Compute the present value index for each ofthe proposals in part (4). Round to two decimal places.
