Average rate of return method, net present value method, and analysis for a service company

The capital investment committee of Iguana Inc. is considering two capital investments. The estimated operating income and net cash flows from each investment are as follows:

Year	Robotic Assembler Operating Income	Robotic Assembler Net Cash Flow	Warehouse Operating Income	Warehouse Net Cash Flow
1	$57,200	$181,000	$120,000	$290,000
2	57,200	181,000	92,000	244,000
3	57,200	181,000	46,000	172,000
4	57,200	181,000	20,000	118,000
5	57,200	181,000	8,000	81,000
Total	$286,000	$905,000	$286,000	$905,000

Each project requires an investment of $520,000. Straight-line depreciation will be used, and no residual value is expected. The committee has selected a rate of 15% for purposes of the net present value analysis.
