II. COMPUTING AN ANNUITY OF INTANGIBLE BENEFITS TO MEET A NET PRESENT VALUE
Hasson Corporation is investigating the purchase of a new computerized scheduling system with special hardware with a useful life of 9 years. The company uses a discount rate of 10% in its capital budgeting. The net present value of the investment, excluding its intangible benefits, is -$505,000. Ignore income taxes in this problem.
Required:
1. Draw a time line graph for this project.
2. Applying your knowledge of annuity tables, calculate the annuity amount that would create an npv of zero.
3. How large would the additional cash flow per year from the intangible benefits have to be to make the investment in the automated equipment financially attractive?
III. COMPUTING REVENUE NEEDED TO REACH A RETURN
Watt Family Amusement Park is considering purchasing a new CYCLONE GYRATION ride for $100,000 that would have a useful life of 15 years and a salvage value of $20,000. The ride would require annual operating costs of $25,000 throughout its useful life. The company's discount rate is 12%.
Management is unsure about how much additional ticket revenue the new ride would generate-particularly since customers pay a flat fee when they enter the park that entitles them to unlimited rides. Hopefully, the presence of the ride would attract new customers. Ignore income taxes in this problem.
Required:
1. Draw a time line graph for this project.
2. How much additional revenue would the ride have to generate per year to make it an attractive investment?
3. If the cyclone gyration annual attendance reaches 40,000 attendees a year, what would you suggest for an increase in the ticket price in rounded dollars per ticket?

Their only cash investment is a $150,000 Working Capital allocation to carry inventories and accounts receivable for the new product line. The Working Capital will be tied up for 5 years and then released at the end of 5 years.
Required:
1. Draw a time line graph for this project.
