EXPLAIN WHETHER OR NOT MAGUIRE IS LIKELY TO ACCEPT THE PROPOSED INVESTMENT ASSUMING HE ACTS TO MAXIMISE HIS OWN
INTEREST ?

Maguire is unlikely to accept the proposed investment

His division earns 15% in the absence of the proposed investment

Accepting will reduce average ROI during timeframe of Maguire's intended remaining employment with the company
CASHFLOWS

Operating cash flows (270000+180000+50000) 40,000.00 40,000.00

Purchase and sale of fixed asset 100,000.00 20,000.00

Working capital 50,000.00 50,000.00

Net Cashflow 150,000.00 40,000.00 110,000.00


NET PRESENT VALUE

Net Present Value @10%

= -150000+(40000*2.487)+(110000*0.683)

= 24,610.00
C EXAMPLES
1 ROI includes depreciation charge ,NPV calculations do not because depreciation is not a cash flow

2 ROI is a year by year calculation ,so the manager's reaction to it depends on his time horizon

E.g. Maguire does not plan to stay long enough with Fanago Manufacturing for the high ROI in year 4 to be of any benefit to him

By contrast NPV involves evaluating a project over its whole life

3 NPV calculations enable a project to be judged in isolation .

It is possible to see whether (as in this case )the project would increase shareholder's wealth

By contrast managers tend to react to the ROI of an individual project in terms of how it will affect their division average ROI and how this can lead to
dysfunctional decisions

E.g. Maguire is likely to accept this project because it will reduce his existing high average ROI
