IRR, investment life, and cash inflows Oak Enterprises accepts projects earning more than the firm's 14% cost of capital. Oak is currently considering a 10-year project that provides annual cash inflows of $30,000 and requires an initial investment of $203,200. a. Determine the IRR of this project. Is it acceptable? b. Assuming that the cash inflows continue to be $30,000 per year, how many additional years would the flows have to continue to make the project acceptable (that is, to make it have an IRR of 14%)? c. With the given life, an initial investment of $203,200, and cost of capital of 14%, what is the minimum annual cash inflow the investment would have to provide in order for this project to make sense for Oak's shareholders? a. The project's IRR is %. (Round to two decimal places.)

Net present value method, internal rate of return method, and analysis for a service company The management of Advanced Alternative Power Inc. is considering two capital investment projects. The estimated net cash flows from each project are as follows: The wind turbines require an investment of 887,600, while the biofuel equipment requires an investment of 911,100. No residual value is expected from either project. Instructions 1. Compute the following for each project: A. The net present value. Use a rate of 6% and the present value of an annuity table appearing in Exhibit 5 of this chapter. B. A present value index. (Round to two decimal places.) 2. Determine the internal rate of return for each project by (A) computing a present value factor for an annuity of 1 and (B) using the present value of an annuity of 1 table appearing in Exhibit 5 of this chapter. 3. What advantage does the internal rate of return method have over the net present value method in comparing projects?
