A firm is considering two investment projects, Y and Z. These projects are NOT mutually exclusive. Assume the firm is not capital constrained. The initial costs and cashflows for these projects are: 0 1 2 3 Y -40,000 17,000 17,000 15,000 Z -28,000 12,000 12,000 20,000 Using a discount rate of 9% calculate the net present value for each project.

Q.1. Three mutually exclusive investment alternatives are under consideration. The initial capital outlays and the pattern of the net annual cash benefits (revenues - expenses) for each alternatives are presented in the following table. Based on NPV analysis, if the company’s minimum acceptable rate of return is 10%, which alternative should be the best economic choice? Use appropriate IRR analysis to double-check your selection.

18. In a situation such as Acron's, where a one-time cost is followed by a sequence of cash flows, the internal rate of return (IRR) is the discount rate that makes the NPV equal to 0. The idea is that if the discount rate is greater than the IRR, the company will not pursue the project, but if the discount rate is less than the IRR, the project is financially attractive. a. Use Excel's Goal Seek tool to find the IRR for the Acron model. b. Excel also has an IRR function. Look it up in online help to see how it works, and then use it on Acron's model. Of course, you should get the same IRR as in part a. c. Verify that the NPV is negative when the discount rate is slightly greater than the IRR, and that it is positive when the discount rate is slightly less than

You are considering an investment in two normal cash flow and mutually exclusive projects. Project Apple has an internal rate of return of 13.6%, while Project Brewster has an internal rate of return of 15.75%. At a discount rate of 9.8% each project has the same net present value. If the appropriate weighted average cost of capital is 9.25%, which project(s), if any, should be adopted? Explain your decision.
