Summary Introduction
Adequate information:
Expected
Cash flows from Project M in Year 0= -$1,200
Cash flows from Project M in Year 1= $(I0+160)
Cash flows from Project M in Year 2= $960
Cash flows from Project M in Year 3= $1,200
Cash flows from Project B in Year 0= -$I0
Cash flows from Project B in Year 1= $(I0+140)
Cash flows from Project B in Year 2= $1,200
Cash flows from Project B in Year 3= $1,600
To compute: The range of initial investment for which Project B is more financially attractive than Project M.
Introduction: Initial investment refers to the amount invested at the beginning of the project. It includes the initial fixed investment as well as the initial working capital.

- The following are two projects a firm is considering: Project B Cash Flow Year 0 1 2 3 4 $2,939.01 Assuming that the relevant cost of capital for both projects is 11%, you should be able to determine the net present value (NPV) and the internal rate of return (IRR) for both project. Assume now that the firm has capital rationing, but knows that its true reinvestment rate is 20%, while its cost of capital is 11 percent.

Suppose you are evaluating a project with the expected future cash inflows shown in the following table. Your boss has asked you to calculate the project's net present value (NPV). You don't know the project's initial cost, but you do know the project's regular, or conventional, payback period is 2.50 years. If the project's weighted average cost of capital (WACC) is 9%, the project's NPV (rounded to the nearest dollar) is: $355,048 $287,420 $405,769 $338,141 Which of the following statements indicate a disadvantage of using the regular payback period (not the discounted payback period) for capital budgeting decisions? Check all that apply. The payback period does not take the time value of money into account. The payback period is calculated using net income instead of cash flows. The payback period does not take the project's entire life into account.arrow_forwardConsider two investments with the following sequences of cash flows: (a) Compute the IRR for each investment.(b) At MARR = 10%, determine the acceptability of each project.(c) If A and B are mutually exclusive projects, which project would you selecton the basis of the rate of return on incremental investment?arrow_forward

- You must analyze two projects, X and Y. Each project costs$10,000, and the firm’s WACC is 12%. The expected cash flows are as follows:a. Calculate each project’s NPV, IRR, MIRR, payback, and discounted payback.b. Which project(s) should be accepted if they are independent?c. Which project(s) should be accepted if they are mutually exclusive?d. How might a change in the WACC produce a conflict between the NPV and IRR rankingsof the two projects? Would there be a conflict if WACC were 5%? (Hint: Plot theNPV profiles. The crossover rate is 6.21875%.)e. Why does the conflict exist?arrow_forwardYour firm has identified three potential investment projects.
