Would you accept a project where you had an initial investment of $10,000,000 but the NPV was only $10,000? Group of answer choices A. There is not enough information B.Yes, because you will make the required return each year and the NPV in additional to the required return. C. No, the NPV is too small for such a large initial investment
Project X has an initial investment at time O of $1,000 and it returns $250 one year from now and$1,000 two years from now. Project Y has an initial investment at time O of $2,000 and it returns$2,534.40 two years from now. The risk level and the net present values of the two projects areequal. Calculate the required return for project X. Answer: 12% please do not solve with excel
Consider two mutually exclusive alternatives and the do-nothing approach. Project X has an initial investment of $175 and annual positive cash flows of $65 for four years. Project Y has an initial investment of $88 and annual positive cash flows of $25 for four years. Determine the following: at what interest rates Project X would be attractive? at what interest rates would Project Y be attractive? at what interest rates would it be best to do nothing.
Each of the following scenarios is independent. Assume that all cash flows are after-tax cash flows. a. Campbell Manufacturing is considering the purchase of a new welding system. The cash benefits will be $480,000 per year. The system costs $2,950,000 and will last 10 years. b. Evee Cardenas is interested in investing in a women's specialty shop. The cost of the investment is $280,000. She estimates that the return from owning her own shop will be $45,000 per year. She estimates that the shop will have a useful life of 6 years. c. Barker Company calculated the NPV of a project and found it to be $63,900. The project's life was estimated to be 8 years. The required rate of return used for the NPV calculation was 10%. The project was expected to produce annual after-tax cash flows of $135,000. Required: 1. Compute the NPV for Campbell Manufacturing, assuming a discount rate of 12%. If required, round all present value calculations to the nearest dollar. Use the minus sign to indicate a…
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 12 percent, and that the maximum allowable payback and discounted payback statistic for the project are 2 and 3 years, respectively.

You are evaluating a project that costs $69,000 today. The project has an inflow of $148,000 in one year and an outflow of $59,000 in two years. What are the IRRs for the project? (A negative answer should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answers as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) What discount rate results in the maximum NPV for this project? (A negative answer should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
An investment has an installed cost of $532,800. The cash flows over the four-year life of the investment are projected to be $216,850, $233,450, $200,110, and $148,820, respectively. a. If the discount rate is zero, what is the NPV? (Do not round intermediate calculations.) b. If the discount rate is infinite, what is the NPV? (A negative answer should be indicated by a minus sign.) c. At what discount rate is the NPV just equal to zero? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) a. NPV b. NPV c. IRR Q % l
You solve present value problems on a financial calculator just like you do future value problems. For the example we just examined (the present value of $1,000 to be received in three years at 15 percent), you would do the following: Enter 3. 15 1,000 I/Y PMT PV FV Solve for -657.52 Notice that the answer has a negative sign; as we discussed earlier, that's because it represents an out- flow today in exchange for the $1,000 inflow later.
o Consider an investment that costs $100,000 and has a cash inflow of $25,000 every year for 5 years. The required return is 9%, and payback cutoff is 4 years. O What method should be the primary decision rule? o When is the IRR rule unreliable?
