Calculate the project's NPV at each of the following discount rates: 0%, 5%, 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%. b. What do the calculations tell you about this project's IRR? The IRR rule tells managers to invest if a project's IRR is greater than the cost of capital. If Acme Oscillators' cost of capital is 8%, should the company accept or reject this investment? c. Notice that this project's greatest NPVS come at very high discount rates. Can you provide an intuitive explanation for that pattern? d. If Acme Oscillators' cost of capital is 8%, should the company accept or reject this investment based on MIRR? a.

Modified internal rate of return (MIRR) The IRR evaluation method assumes that cash flows from the project are reinvested at the same rate equal to the IRR. However, in reality the reinvested cash flows may not necessarily generate a return equal to the IRR. Thus, the modified IRR approach makes a more reasonable assumption other than the project’s IRR. Consider the following situation: Green Caterpillar Garden Supplies Inc. is analyzing a project that requires an initial investment of $2,225,000. The project’s expected cash flows are: Year Cash Flow Year 1 $350,000 Year 2 –125,000 Year 3 450,000 Year 4 450,000 Green Caterpillar Garden Supplies Inc.’s WACC is 7%, and the project has the same risk as the firm’s average project.

Which project is better if the required return is above this interest rate? Please help me solve this question using Excel.

For a typical project evaluation with initial investment at time=0 and positive cash flows afterwards, each statement in the following shows possible answers in parenthesis. Choose the answer that shows correct answers for all statements. Statement 1: When NPV = 0, investors earn (negative/zero/positive) return. Statement 2: Accept the project when valuation is (higher/the same/lower) than the cost. Statement 3: When IRR> cost of capital, NPV is (negative/zero/positive). Statement 4: Cost of capital is determined by the (company/investors) considering the (business risk/systematic) risk) a. negative, higher, positive, investors and systematic b. positive, lower, positive, investors and business c. positive, higher, zero, company and systematic d. positive, higher, positive, investors and systematic
Which of the following statements is CORRECT? Assume that the project being considered has normal cash flows, with one cash outflow at t = o followed by a series of positive cash flows. a. To find a project's MIRR, we compound cash inflows at the regular IRR and then find the discount rate that causes the PV of the terminal value to equal the initial cost. b. To find a project's MIRR, the textbook procedure compounds cash inflows at the WACC and then finds the discount rate that causes the PV of the terminal value to equal the initial cost. c. A project's MIRR is always greater than its regular IRR. d. If a project's IRR is greater than its WACC, then its MIRR will be greater than the IRR. e. A project's MIRR is always less than its regular IRR.
Which of the following statements is CORRECT? Assume that the project being considered has normal cash flows, with one outflow followed by a series of inflows. O A project's regular IRR is found by compounding the initial cost at the WACC to find the terminal value (TV), then discounting the TV at the WACC. A project's IRR is the discount rate that causes the PV of the inflows to equal the project's cost. O If a project's IRR is smaller than the WACC, then its NPV will be positive. O A project's regular IRR is found by compounding the cash inflows at the WACC to find the present value (PV), then discounting the TV to find the IRR.

Which of the following statements is CORRECT? Assume that the project being considered has normal cash flows, with one outflow followed by a series of inflows. Select one: a. The lower the WACC used to calculate it, the lower the calculated NPV will be. b. If a project's NPV is greater than zero, then its IRR must be less than zero. c. The NPV of a relatively low-risk project should be found using a relatively high WACC. d. A project's NPV is found by compounding the cash inflows at the IRR to find the terminal value (TV), then discounting the TV at the WACC. e. If a project's NPV is less than zero, then its IRR must be less than the WACC.
