QUESTION
Question 1
Beacon Chemicals plc is considering buying some equipment to produce a chemical
named X14. The new equipments capital cost is estimated at RM100,000 and if its
purchase is approved now, the equipment can be bought and commence production by
the end of this year. RM50,000 has already been spent on research and development
work. Estimates of revenues and costs arising from the operation of the equipment as
follows:
Selling price (RM per unit)
Sales volume (units)
Variable costs (RM per unit)
Fixed costs (RM000)

If the equipment is bought, sales of some existing products will be lost and this will
result in a loss of contribution of RM15 000 a year over its life.
The accountant has informed you that the fixed costs include depreciation of RM20,
000 a year on the new equipment. They also include an allocation of RM10,000 for
fixed overheads. A separate study has indicated that if the new equipment were
bought additional overheads excluding depreciation arising from producing the
chemical would be RM8,000 a year. Production would require additional working
capital of RM30,000. Ignore taxations. Beacon Chemicals plc has an average cost of
capital of 8% in money terms.
Required:
a) Calculate the payback period, net present value, and accounting rate of return
of the planned investment project.
