The following information is available on two mutually exclusive projects. All numbers are in ‘000s.
Project Year 0 Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Year 4
A $700 $300 $300 $400 $400
B $700 $600 $300 $200 $100
a: If the minimum acceptable
b: At what cross‐over rate would the firm be indifferent between the two projects? What is the NPV for both projects at the crossover rate?
c: How much should cash flow in year 3 for project B increase or decrease in order for NPV(B) to be equal to NPV(A)?

- Use the NPV method to determine whether Kyler Products should invest in the following projects: • Project A costs $275,000 and offers seven annual net cash inflows of $58,000. Kyler Products requires an annual return of 12% on projects like A. • Project B costs $390,000 and offers ten annual net cash inflows of $70,000. Kyler Products demands an annual return of 14% on investments of this nature. (Click the icon to view the present value annuity table.) (Click the icon to view the present value table.) F (Click the icon to view the future value table.) (Click the icon to view the future value annuity table.) Requirement What is the NPV of each project? What is the maximum acceptable price to pay for each project? C Calculate the NPV of each project. (Round your answers to the nearest whole dollar. Use parentheses or a minus sign for negative net present values.) The NPV of Project A isarrow_forwardConsider the following two mutually exclusive investment projects: Assume that MARR = 15%. Which project would be selected under an infiniteplanning horizon with project repeatability likely, according to the IRR criterion?arrow_forwardJay is currently evaluating a project with the following estimated investment requirements ($ millions) by year (starting in year 0): investment year investment 0 11.2 1 16.6 2 15.8 3 11.3 4 18 The estimated revenues ($ millions) from the project, expected to begin at time 3, are given in the table below: \ investment year reveune 0 13.3 1 14 2 8.4 3 14.7 4 9.9 5 8.4 6 13.4 To account for the different risk characteristics throughout the project's life, Jay has determined that a hurdle rate of 24% should be used beginning at time 0, while 30% should be used beginning in period 5. Determine the NPV for the project. NPV =arrow_forward
- Iggy Company is considering three capital expenditure projects. Relevant data for the projects are as follows. Annual Life of Project Investment Income Project 22A $242,800 $16,840 6 years 23A 275,000 20,680 9 years 24A 282,000 15,700 7 years Annual income is constant over the life of the project. Each project is expected to have zero salvage value at the end of the project. Iggy Company uses the straight-line method of depreciation. Click here to view PV table.
