Consider two investment projects, both of which require an upfront investment of $10 million and pay a constant positive amount each year for the next 12 years. Under what conditions can you rank these projects by comparing their IRRS? (Select the best choice below.) OA. Ranking by IRR will work in this case so long as the projects' cash flows do not decrease from year to year. B. Ranking by IRR will work in this case so long as the projects' cash flows do not increase from year to year. OC. Ranking by IRR will work in this case so long as the projects have the same risk. D. There are no conditions under which you can use the IRR to rank projects.

Consider the following two investment alternatives:The firm's MARR is known to be 15%.(a) Compute the PW (15%) for Project A. (b) Compute the unknown cash flow X in years 2 and 3 for Project B.( c) Compute the project balance (at 15%) for Project A at the end of year 3.( d) If these two projects are mutually exclusive alternatives, which project would you select?
Which of the following describes the NPV decision rule? Accept if the cost of the project is recouped within 3 years. Accept if the PV of the cash inflows of the project divided by the absolute value of the cost of the project is greater than one. Accept if the PV of the cash inflows from the project minus the cost of the project is greater than zero Accept if the average net income from the project divided by the average book value is greater than the target required Accept if the rate of return earned on the project is greater than the required return for the project.
A firm evaluates all of its projects by applying the IRR rule. A project under consideration has the following cash flows: -$25,000 today (t=0); $11,000 after one year (t=1), 17,000 after two years (t=2); and 10,000 after three years (t=3). What is the Internal Rate of Return (“IRR”) for this project?
Consider two mutually exclusive investment alternatives given in the table below. Click the icon to view the cash flows for the projects. (a) Determine the IRR on the incremental investment in the amount of $5,000. (Assume that MARR=4%.) The rate of return on the incremental investment is %. (Round to two decimal places.)
Find the modified internal rate of return (MIRR) for a proposed project costing $5,489. Assume that the appropriate cost of capital for projects of this risk level, at this company is 11.46%, and the estimated cash flows for the life of the project are found in the table below. (If you calculate an MIRR of 20.22%, please enter 20.22 - do not include the % symbol, and use at least two decimal places). Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Year 4 Year 5 $6,100 $10,836 $9,527.1 $13,000 $7,285

ABC Service can purchase a new assembler for $15,052 that will provide an annual net cash flow of $6,000 per year for five years. Calculate the NP of the assembler if the required rate of return is 12%. Show calculation. Would you accept/reject a project based on NPV decision criteria? Why? Based on NPV calculated in part A, determine Profitability Index (PI). Show calculation. Would you accept/reject a project based on PI decision criteria? Why?

You recently purchased a stock that is expected to earn 33 percent in a booming economy, 13 percent in a normal economy, and lose 40 percent in a recessionary economy. There is a 15 percent probability of a boom and a 60 percent chance of a normal economy. What is your expected rate of return on this stock?
