Markoff Products is considering two competing projects, but only one will be selected. Project A requires an initial investment of $42,000 and is expected to generate future cash flows of $6,000 for each of the next 50 years. Project B requires an initial investment of $210,000 and will generate $30,000 for each of the next 10 years. If Markoff requires a payback of 8 years or less, which project should it select based on payback periods?

Staten Corporation is considering two mutually exclusive projects. Both require an initial outlay of 150,000 and will operate for five years. The cash flows associated with these projects are as follows: Statens required rate of return is 10%. Using the net present value method and the present value table provided in Appendix A, which of the following actions would you recommend to Staten? a. Accept Project X and reject Project Y. b. Accept Project Y and reject Project X. c. Accept Projects X and Y. d. Reject Projects X and Y.
There are two projects under consideration by the Rainbow factory. Each of the projects will require an initial investment of $35,000 and is expected to generate the following cash flows: If the discount rate is 12%, compute the NPV of each project.
Edelman Engineering is considering including two pieces of equipment, a truck and an overhead pulley system, in this year’s capital budget. The projects are independent. The cash outlay for the truck is $17,100, and that for the pulley system is $22,430. The firm’s cost of capital is 14%. After-tax cash flows, including depreciation, are as follows: Calculate the IRR, the NPV, and the MIRR for each project, and indicate the correct accept/reject decision for each.
The Rodriguez Company is considering an average-risk investment in a mineral water spring project that has an initial after-tax cost of 170,000. The project will produce 1,000 cases of mineral water per year indefinitely, starting at Year 1. The Year-1 sales price will be 138 per case, and the Year-1 cost per case will be 105. The firm is taxed at a rate of 25%. Both prices and costs are expected to rise after Year 1 at a rate of 6% per year due to inflation. The firm uses only equity, and it has a cost of capital of 15%. Assume that cash flows consist only of after-tax profits because the spring has an indefinite life and will not be depreciated. a. What is the present value of future cash flows? (Hint: The project is a growing perpetuity, so you must use the constant growth formula to find its NPV.) What is the NPV? b. Suppose that the company had forgotten to include future inflation. What would they have incorrectly calculated as the projects NPV?
Manzer Enterprises is considering two independent investments: A new automated materials handling system that costs 900,000 and will produce net cash inflows of 300,000 at the end of each year for the next four years. A computer-aided manufacturing system that costs 775,000 and will produce labor savings of 400,000 and 500,000 at the end of the first year and second year, respectively. Manzer has a cost of capital of 8 percent. Required: 1. Calculate the IRR for the first investment and determine if it is acceptable or not. 2. Calculate the IRR of the second investment and comment on its acceptability. Use 12 percent as the first guess. 3. What if the cash flows for the first investment are 250,000 instead of 300,000?
Green Caterpillar Garden Supplies Inc. is considering a one-year project that requires an initial investment of $550,000; however, in raising this capital, Green Caterpillar will incur an additional flotation cost of 5%. At the end of the year, the project is expected to produce a cash inflow of $660,000. The rate of return that Green Caterpillar expects to earn on the project after its flotation costs are taken into account is

The company will have to make Capital Investments, Working Capital investments, andgenerate Cash Flows from Operating the new project. The Equipment required for theproject will cost $3,000,000 today, will last for three years (the length of the project),and is estimated at the time of purchase to sell for $300,000 at the end of its life. Revenue is projected at $5.0M in the first year, $5.3M in the second year, $5.6M in the third year, $5.9 in the fourth year, $6.0M in the fifth year, and $5.0M in the final year.
