A firm has two mutually exclusive investment projects to evaluate. The projects have the following cash flows: Time Cash Flow X Cash Flow Y 0 -$80,000 -$70,000 1 30,000 35,000 2 55,000 35,000 3 70,000 35,000 4 - 35,000 5 - 5,000 Projects X and Y are equally risky and may be repeated indefinitely. If the firm’s WACC is 7%, what is the EAA of the project that adds the most value to the firm? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest dollar. Choose Project   , whose EAA = $

For the given cash flows, suppose the firm uses the NPV decision rule. Year Cash Flow 0 –$ 148,000 1 64,000 2 75,000 3 59,000 a. At a required return of 12 percent, what is the NPV of the project? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) b. At a required return of 21 percent, what is the NPV of the project? (A negative answer should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)

Border Mining, Inc., is trying to evaluate a project with the following cash flows: Year Cash Flow 0 −$ 39,300,000 1 63,300,000 2 − 12,300,000 a-1. What is the NPV for the project if the company requires a return of 12 percent? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) a-2. Should the firm accept this project?

Country Wallpapers is considering investing in one of three mutually exclusive projects, E, F, and G. The firm’s cost of capital, r, is 10%, and the risk-free rate, RF, is 2%. The firm has estimated each project’s cash flow and each project’s beta, as shown in the following table. Project (j) E F G Initial investment (CF0) -$15,000 -$11,000 -$19,000 Year (t) Cash inflows (CFt) 1 $6,000 $6,000 $ 4,000 2 6,000 4,000 6,000 3 6,000 5,000 8,000 4 6,000 2,000 12,000 Beta 1.80 1.00 0.60 a. Find the NPV of each project, using the firm’s cost of capital. Which project is preferred in this situation? b. The firm uses the following equation to determine the risk-adjusted discount rate, RADRj, for each project j: RADRj = RF + Bj x (rm -RF) Where RF = risk-free rate 2% Bj = beta of project j RADRj = risk-adjusted discount rate for project j rm = expected return on market portfolio 10% Substitute each project’s beta into this equation to determine its RADR. c. Use the RADR for each project to…

Bates & Reid, LLC, has identified two mutually exclusive projects, A and B.  Project A has a NPV of $14,050.47.  Project B has cash flows as described below.               Year                             Cash Flow B                0                                  -$77,000                                                  1                                   35,000                2                                   25,000                3                                   25,000                4                                   25,000   If the WACC is 8%, then B’s NPV is _______ and therefore the firm should accept _________     $11,337.55; project B because NPVA > NPVB.     $15,062.43; project B because NPVA < NPVB.     $15,062.43; project A because NPVA < NPVB.     The projects are equally profitable.     $11,337.55; project A because NPVA > NPVB.
