The following are the cash flows of 2 projects
Year 0, Project A $340, Project B $340
Year 1, Project A $170, Project B $240
Year 2, Project A $170, Project B $240
Year 3, Project A $170, Project B $240
Year 4, Project A $170, Project B
Calculate the NPV for both projects if the discount rate is 10%
Project A - NPV?
Project B - NPV?
Suppose that you have can choose only one of these projects. Which would you choose?
Project A, B, or niether?

- The following are the cash flows of 2 independent projects Year 0, Project A $270, Project B $270 Year 1, Project A $150, Project B $170 Year 2, Project A $150, Project B $170 Year 3 Project A $150, Project B $170 Year 4 Project A $150, Project B If the opportunity cost of capital is 12%. Calculate the NPV for both projects Project A - NPV? Project B - NPV? Which of these is worth pursuing? A, B, or neither?arrow_forwardConsider the following two mutually exclusive projects: Year Cash flow project A (RM) 0 1 2 3 4 -54,000 12,700 23,200 27,600 46,500 Cash flow Project B (RM) -23,000 11,600 11,200 12,500 6,000 Whichever project you choose, if you require a 14 percent return on your investment i) Compute the payback period for both project ii) Compute the Net Present Value (NPV) for both projects. iii) Which project do you prefer and which? Fully explain the result of your analysisarrow_forwardConsider 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.arrow_forward

If the opportunity cost of capital is 8%, which of these two projects would you accept (A, B, or both)? b. Suppose that you can choose only one of these two projects. Which would you choose? The discount rate is still 8%. c. Which one would you choose if the cost of capital is 16%? d. What is the payback period of each project? e. Is the project with the shortest payback period also the one with the highest NPV? f. What are the internal rates of return on the two projects? g. Does the IRR rule in this case give the same answer as NPV? h. If the opportunity cost of capital is 8%, what is the profitability index for each project? i. Is the project with the highest profitability index also the one with the highest NPV? j. Which measure should you use to choose between the projects?arrow_forwardCase 1: Assume you are evaluating two mutually exclusive projects,the cash flows of which appear below, and that your company uses a cost of capital of 8 percent to evaluate projects such as these. Time Project A Cash Flow Project B Cash Flow 0 -$650 -$700 1 100 300 2 250 -200 3 250 550 4 200 200 5 100 80 a. Calculate the payback of Project A. b. Calculate the discounted payback of Project A. c. Calculate the IRR of Project A. d.
