Question

Transcribed Image Text:1. Consider the below three investment projects generating cash flows as follows:
Project
1
2
3
4
-500,000
-500,000
-500,000
А
1,000,000
-500,000
-500,000
-500,000
-500,000
B
550,000
750,000
-500,000
1,000,000
1,000,000
-500,000
Assume that the cost of capital is 10%. Use this cost of capital to discount (or inflate)
all negative cash flows to the present time and all positive cash flows to period 1 in the
below table. Then, calculate the IRR based on the cash flows of period 0 and 1.
Project

IRR
А
B
Using the above modified IRR, make investment decision for each project. Dose the
modified IRR deliver correct decisions?
