Consider the following two projects with cash flows in $: Year 0 Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Year 4 Year 5 Year 6 Year 7 Discount Project C/F C/F C/F C/F C/F C/F C/F C/F Rate Alpha -79 25 25 30 35 35 10 0 14% Beta -80 25 25 25 15 15 15 15 12% The profitability index for project A is closest to: 0.17. 0.33. O 0.42. O 1.65.

The following are the cash flows of two projects: Year Project A Project B -$200 -$200 01234 Project A B If the opportunity cost of capital is 11%, what is the profitability index for each project? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to 4 decimal places.) Profitability index 80 80 80 80 00 100 100 100 Is the project with the highest profitability index also the one with the highest NPV? Yes No

Consider the cash flows for projects Alpha and Beta as follows: Project Alpha Beta Required: (a) (b) Year 0 cash flow -$250 - $150 Year 1 cash flow 0 Year 2 cash flow 400 200 0 Determine the discount rate that will make the NPV of the two projects equal. (Ignore negative discount rates.) Determine the range of discount rates in which project Alpha is preferred to project Beta.
