Suppose that you are working as a capital budgeting analyst in a finance department of a firm and you are going to evaluate two mutually exclusive projects by implementing different capital budgeting techniques. The cash flows for these two projects are given below. YEAR CASH FLOW (A) CASH FLOW (B) 0 -$17,000 -$17,000 1 8,000 2,000 2 7,000 5,000 3 5,000 9,000 4 3,000 9,500 1) Calculate the Payback Period of each project. Which project should you accept according to this method? Explain whether the Payback Period is or is not an appropriate method in this case.

A*) You are hired as financial manager in Abis Investment Co., you made cash flow projection for two different projects. You are asked to estimate the feasibility of the projects by using the following investment criteria: NPV, IRR, MIRR and BCR. They are mutually exclusive. Show all your calculation. The details of that projects are given below: Year 0 1 2 3 4 5 Project A -1,000 1,200 4600 1,800 -8,000 5,000 Project B -2,000 1,000 3600 800 8,000 500 Discount rates 12% 13% 12% 14% 15% 11%

Why does capital budgeting rely on an analysis of cash flows rather than on net income? Base your answer on the accounting principles of recognizing and reporting revenue and expenses.Describe two capital budgeting decisions based on the time value of money. Which of the two methods would you select for a capital budgeting project and why?
