The management of Londo Corporation is investigating buying a small used aircraft to use in making airborne inspections of its above-ground pipelines. The aircraft would have a useful life of 5 years. The company uses a discount rate of 14% in its capital budgeting. The net present value of the investment, excluding the intangible benefits, is â$395,850. (Ignore income taxes in this problem)
Click here to view Exhibit 13B-2 to determine the appropriate discount factor(s) using tables. How large would the annual intangible benefit have to be to make the investment in the aircraft financially attractive? (Round discount factor(s) to 3 decimal places and final answer to the nearest dollar amount.)

Wendellâs Donut Shoppe is investigating the purchase of a new $44,300 donut-making machine. The new machine would permit the company to reduce the amount of part-time help needed, at a cost savings of $6,000 per year. In addition, the new machine would allow the company to produce one new style of donut, resulting in the sale of 2,000 dozen more donuts each year. The company realizes a contribution margin of $2.00 per dozen donuts sold. The new machine would have a six-year useful life.
Click here to view Exhibit 8B-1 and Exhibit 8B-2, to determine the appropriate discount factor(s) using tables.
Required:
1. What would be the total annual cash inflows associated with the new machine for capital budgeting purposes?
Annual savings in part-time help | $6,000 | |
Added contribution margin from expanded sales | 4,000 | |
Annual cash inflows | $10,000 |
2. Find the internal rate of return promised by the new machine. (Round your 'IRR' answer to nearest whole percentage.)
