Solved problem on future worth method - 2


Solved problem on future worth method - 2

A man plans to build a shop in his new purchased plot. He has several alternatives to obtain a desirable return on his investment. After much study and calculation he found out two alternatives which are given in the following table:
Information
Gas station
Ice cream shop
First cost
. 25,00,000
. 35,00,000
Annual income
. 8,50,000
. 9,50,000
Annual property taxes
. 85,000
. 1,50,000
Life of building
15
15

Evaluate the alternatives based on future worth method at i = 12%, compounded annually and select the most suitable one.
Given data
Method = Future worth method - revenue dominated cash flow
i = 12%
Gas station
P = . 25,00,000
Final annual income = R1 = R2 = … R15 = A = . 8,50,000 – 85,000 = .7,65,000
n = 15 years
S = . 0
Ice cream shop
P = . 35,00,000
Final annual income = R1 = R2 = … R15 = A = . 9,50,000 – 1,50,000 = . 8,00,000
n = 15 years
S = . 0
Formula used
Here revenue on all years is equal.
Therefore, FW(i) = -P (F/P, i, n) + A (F/A, i, n) + S


Solution
Gas station
FW(12%)1   = - 25,00,000 (F/P, 12%, 15) + 7,65,000 (F/A, 12%, 15) + 0
= - 25,00,000 (5.474) + 15,00,000 (37.280)
= - 1,36,85,000 + 5,59,00,000
FW(12%)1   = . 4,22,15,000
Ice cream shop
FW(12%)2   = - 35,00,000 (F/P, 12%, 15) + 8,00,000 (F/A, 12%, 15) + 0
= - 35,00,000 (5.474) + 8,00,000 (37.280)
= - 1,91,59,000 + 2,98,24,000
FW(12%)2    = . 1,06,65,000
Result
In future worth method revenue dominated cash flow, the alternative which has maximum future worth amount is the best alternative. Therefore building the gas station is the best alternative.
