(25) Points The Big Company™ is considering two pieces of machinery that perform the same repetitive task. The two alternatives available provide the following set of after-tax net cash flows. Assuming a required rate of return of 10%: Calculate the NPV for each project  Calculate the IRR for each project. Calculate the uniform annual series (UAS) or the equivalent annual annuity (EAA) for each project.  Compare the two projects using the replacement chain method (i. e. find the replacement chain value). Which project would you select? Calculate the discounted payback. (ii) Convert this to a rate of return. If the projects are mutually exclusive, and can be reproduced which project do you select? Explain.

Laval produces lamps and home lighting fixtures. its most popular product is a brushed aluminum desk lamp. this lamp is made from components shaped in the fabricating department and assembled in the assembly department. information related to the 22,000 desk lamps produced annually follows. direct materials $280,000direct labor fabricating department (8,000 dlh × $24 per dlh) $192,000assembly department (16,600 dlh × $26 per dlh) $431,600machine hours fabricating department $15,200mhassembly department $20,850mhexpected overhead cost and related data for the two production departments follow. fabricating assemblydirect labor hours 150,000dlh 295,000dlhmachine hours 161,000mh 128,000mhoverhead cost $400,000 430,000required1. determine the plantwide overhead rate for laval using direct labor hours as a base.2. determine the total manufacturing cost per unit for the aluminum desk lamp using the plantwide overhead rate.3. compute departmental overhead rates based on machine hours in the fabricating department and direct labor hours in the assembly department.4. use departmental overhead rates from requirement 3 to determine the total manufacturing cost per unit for the aluminum desk lamps.
