Question
Company XYZ is considering an investment project that is expected to generate the following cash flows:
Year 1: $500,000
Year 2: $700,000
Year 3: $800,000
Year 4: $900,000
Year 5: $1,200,000
The cost of capital for the company is 10%. Calculate the Firm's Present Value (FPV) of the cash flows.
To calculate the Firm's Present Value (FPV) of the cash flows, you need to discount each cash flow to its present value using the cost of capital, and then sum up the present values of all cash flows.

Why?arrow_forwardThe following are two projects a firm is considering: Project B Cash Flow Year 0 1 2 3 4 $2,939.01 Assuming that the relevant cost of capital for both projects is 11%, you should be able to determine the net present value (NPV) and the internal rate of return (IRR) for both project. Assume now that the firm has capital rationing, but knows that its true reinvestment rate is 20%, while its cost of capital is 11 percent. Given this information, determine the modified net present value (MNPV) for Project B.

The cutoff payback period is two years. Which project should the company choose based on payback period and discounted payback period? Question 5 options: Based on payback, choose project L; based on discounted payback, also choose L. Based on payback, choose project L; based on discounted payback, choose neither. Based on payback, choose project S; based on discounted payback, also choose S. Based on payback, choose project S; based on discounted payback, choose neither.arrow_forward
