A firm has a capital budget of $100 which must be spent on one of twoprojects, each requiring a present outlay of $100. Project A yields a returnof $120 after one year, whereas Project B yields $201.14 after 5 years.Calculate:(i) the NPV of each project using a discount rate of 10%;(ii) the IRR of each project.What are the project rankings on the basis of these two investmentdecision rules? Suppose that you are told that the firm’s reinvestmentrate is 12%, which project should the firm choose?Answer:(i)NPV(A) = 9.09; NPV(B) = 24.89, B>A(ii) IRR(A) = 20%; IRR(B) = 15%, A>BUsing a reinvestment rate of 12% the terminal values are TV(A) = 188.82; TV(B) = 201.14,hence B>A. Alternatively calculate the IRR of (B-A): IRR(B-A) = 13.78% > 12%, henceundertake the “extra project” (B-A) ie. undertake B.

Net present value method Aa Aa Consider the case of Underwood Manufacturing: Underwood Manufacturing is evaluating a proposed capital budgeting project that will require an initial investment of $120,000. The project is expected to generate the following net cash flows: Year Cash Flow Year 1 $37,600 Year 2 $50,500 Year 3 $45,000 Year 4 $41,900 Assume the desired rate of return on a project of this type is 10%. What is the net present value of this project? -$4,415.10 $18,344.79 -$7,244.50 $23,914.50 Suppose Underwood Manufacturing has enough capital to fund the project, and the project is not competing for funding with other projects. Should Underwood Manufacturing accept or reject this project? Accept the project Reject the project

a. Capital budgeting is the process of identifying, analyzing and selecting investment projects whose returns are expected to extend beyond one year. This capital budgeting decision for an investment requires the analysis of some factors. List and explain three (3) of these factors. b. You have an investment opportunity that requires an initial investment of GH¢5,000 today and will pay GH¢6,000 in a year’s time. If an alternative investment with similar risk pays 25%, should you invest? c. You will retire in 18 years and you currently have GH¢250,000 saved, and your plan is to have GH¢1,000,000 at your retirement. What annual interest rate must you earn to reach this goal, assuming you do not save any additional funds? d. With practical example(s), differentiate between compounding and discounting. e. As a Business Finance student, what is the essence of the valuation principle in your personal life?
The expected cash flows of a project are as follows. Year Cash Flow -100000, 20,000 ,30,000 40,000 ,50,000 30,000 The cost of capital is 12 per cent. Calculate the following and evaluate the project under each methods a. net present value b. Profitability Index c. Internal rate of Return d. Modified internal rate of Return and Payback period
The net cash flow per year for the investment projects A and B, is presented in the table below. Expected Net Cash Flow ($) Project 0 1 2 3 4 A -10,000 6500 3000 3000 1000 B -10,000 3500 3500 3500 3500 Calculate the NPV, IRR, PI, and PVR for the cash flows given in the following table. Assume the minimum acceptable rate of return of 8%. Which projects should be accepted if they are independent projects? Would the selection of the projects change if the cost of capital were 12%?
