11. Ace Inc. is evaluating two mutually exclusive projects Project A and Project B. The initial outflow is $50,000 for each project. Project A results in cash inflows of $17,525 at the end each of the next five years. Project B results in one cash inflow of $99,500 at the end of the year. The required rate of return of Ace Inc. is 10 percent. Ace Inc. should invest in: O a. Project B because it has no cash inflows in the first four years of its life. b. Project B because it has a positive net present value (NPV). O c. Project A because it will yield cash every year for five years. d. Project A because it has a positive net present value (NPV). e. Project A because it has a higher net present value(NPV) than B.

You have been offered a project paying $300 at the beginning of each year for the next 20 years. What is the maximum amount of money you would invest in this project if you require 9 percent rate of return to your investment? OA. $2,739 B. $2,985 C. $15,348 OD. $16,729

The Square Box is considering two independent projects, both of which have an initial cost of $18,000. The cash inflows of Project A are $3,000, $7,000, and $10,000 over the next three years, respectively. The cash inflows for Project B are $3,000, $7,000, and $15,000 over the next three years, respectively. The required return is 12 percent and the required discounted payback period is 3 years. Based on discounted payback, which project(s), if either, should be accepted? Group of answer choices Project A should be rejected and Project B should be accepted. Both projects should be accepted. Project A should be accepted and Project B should be rejected. Both projects should be rejected. You should be indifferent to accepting either or both projects.

The Butler-Perkins Company (BPC) must decide between two mutually exclusive projects. Each costs $7,000 and has an expected life of 3 years. Annual project cash flows begin 1 year after the initial investment and are subject to the following probability distributions: Project A Project B Probability Cash Flows Probability Cash Flows 0.2 $6,250 0.2 $0 0.6 $7,000 0.6 $7,000 0.2 $7,750 0.2 $19,000 BPC has decided to evaluate the riskier project at 12% and the less-risky project at 10%. a. What is each project's expected annual cash flow? Round your answers to two decimal places. Project A: $ Project B: $ Project B's standard deviation (σB) is $6,131.88 and its coefficient of variation (CVB) is 0.77. What are the values of (σA) and (CVA)? Round your answers to two decimal places. σA = $ CVA = b. Based on the risk-adjusted NPVs, which project should BPC choose? c. If you knew that Project B's cash flows were negatively correlated with the firm's other cash flow, but Project A's cash flows…
