Managerial Accounting Assignment: NPV and Investment Analysis

This managerial accounting assignment solution covers several capital budgeting and investment analysis problems. Question 1 calculates the Net Present Value (NPV) of a project, determining whether it should be accepted based on a positive NPV. Question 2 compares three machines using NPV analysis to evaluate their purchase. Question 3 focuses on payback period and Internal Rate of Return (IRR), assessing whether to purchase equipment based on these metrics. Question 4 compares two projects (X and Y) using discounted cash flow analysis to determine their present values. Finally, Question 5 uses NPV to evaluate different investment options, helping determine the best choice based on financial returns and present value calculations. The solution demonstrates the application of key managerial accounting principles to make informed investment decisions.
