6. a. A project has an investment proposal with the following characteristics: Period Cash outflows Cash inflows 0 Tk. 10,000 - 1 12,000 - 2 - Tk. 12,000 3 - 10,000 Compute the project’s profitability index using hurdle rate of 5 percent. Decide whether the project is acceptable or not. 05

Suppose your firm is considering investing in a project with the cash flows shown below, that the required rate of return on projects of this risk class is 8 percent, and that the maximum allowable payback and discounted payback statistics for the project are 3.5 and 4.5 years, respectively. Time: Cash flow: 0 4 -$5,000 $1,200 $2,400 $1,600 $1,600 $1,400 Use the IRR decision rule to evaluate this project. (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your final onswer to 2 decimal places.) Answer is complete but not entirely correct. IRR 6 $1,200 14.00 %

Consider the following two projects: Cash flows Project A Project B C0�0 −$ 240 −$ 240 C1�1 100 123 C2�2 100 123 C3�3 100 123 C4�4 100   a. If the opportunity cost of capital is 8%, which of these two projects would you accept (A, B, or both)? b. Suppose that you can choose only one of these two projects. Which would you choose? The discount rate is still 8%. c. Which one would you choose if the cost of capital is 16%? d. What is the payback period of each project? e. Is the project with the shortest payback period also the one with the highest NPV? f. What are the internal rates of return on the two projects? g. Does the IRR rule in this case give the same answer as NPV? h. If the opportunity cost of capital is 8%, what is the profitability index for each project? i. Is the project with the highest profitability index also the one with the highest NPV? j. Which measure should you use to choose between the projects?
