(IRR of an uneven cash flow stream) Microwave Oven Programming, Inc. is considering the construction of a new plant. The plant will have an initial cash outlay of $7 million (= - $7 million), and will produce cash flows of $3 million at the end of year 1, $4 million at the end of year 2, and $2 million at the end of years 3 through 5. What is the internal rate of return on this new plant? The IRR of the project is %. (Round to two decimal places.)

What information does the payback period provide? Suppose you are evaluating a project with the expected future cash inflows shown in the following table. Your boss has asked you to calculate the project’s net present value (NPV). You don’t know the project’s initial cost, but you do know the project’s regular, or conventional, payback period is 2.50 years. Year Cash Flow Year 1 $350,000 Year 2 $500,000 Year 3 $450,000 Year 4 $425,000 If the project’s weighted average cost of capital (WACC) is 8%, the project’s NPV (rounded to the nearest dollar) is: $312,620 $295,253 $277,885 $347,356 Which of the following statements indicate a disadvantage of using the regular payback period (not the discounted payback period) for capital budgeting decisions? Check all that apply. The payback period is calculated using net income instead of cash flows. The payback period does not take the project’s entire life into account.…
Ariake Inc. is considering a major expansion of its product line and has estimated the following free cash flows associated with such an expansion. The initial outlay would be $1,850,000, and the project would generate incremental free cash flows of $400,000 per year for 7 years. The appropriate required rate of return is 8 percent. a. Calculate the NPV b. Calculate the PI c. Calculate the IRR d. Should the project be accepted? Why? (*You must show your calculation process as well.)
Green Caterpillar Garden Supplies Inc. is a small firm, and several of its managers are worried about how soon the firm will be able to recover its initial investment from Project Delta’s expected future cash flows. To answer this question, Green Caterpillar’s CFO has asked that you compute the project’s payback period using the following expected net cash flows and assuming that the cash flows are received evenly throughout each year. Complete the following table and compute the project’s conventional payback period. Round the payback period to the nearest two decimal places. Be sure to complete the entire table—even if the values exceed the point at which the cost of the project is recovered. Year 0 Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Expected cash flow -$4,000,000 $1,600,000 $3,400,000 $1,400,000 Cumulative cash flow Conventional payback period: years The conventional payback period ignores the time value of money, and this concerns…
