Question - Net Present Value, Internal Rate of Return, Payback, Accounting Rate of Return, and Taxes

Adrian Sonnetson, the owner of Adrian Motors, is considering the addition of a paint and body shop to his automobile dealership. Construction of a building and the purchase of necessary equipment is estimated to cost $800,000 and both the building and equipment will be depreciated over 10 years using the straight-line method. The building and equipment have zero estimated residual value at the end of 10 years. Sonnetson's required rate of return for this project is 12 percent. Net income related to each year of the investment is as follows:

Revenue $500,000

Less: 

Material cost 70,000

Labor 150,000

Depreciation 80,000

Other 10,000

Income before taxes 190,000

Taxes at 40% 76,000

Net income $114,000

Calculate the internal rate of return of the investment (approximate).
