Utah Technology has a weighted-average cost of capital of 8.85 percent and is evaluating project B. Project B involves an initial investment of $71,700.00 and an expected cash flow of $116,400.00 in 5 years. Project B is considered less risky than an average-risk project at Utah Technology, such that the appropriate discount rate for it is 1.70 percentage points different than the discount rate used for an average-risk project at Utah Technology. The internal rate of return for project B is 10.18 percent. What is the NPV of project B? -$0.00 (plus or minus $10) $4,474.71 (plus or minus $10) $10,712.31 (plus or minus $10) -$1,204.85 (plus or minus $10) None of the above is within $10 of the correct answer

Walsh Company is considering three independent projects, each of which requires a $6 million investment. The estimated internal rate of return (IRR) and cost of capital for these projects are presented here: Project H (high risk): Cost of capital = 17% IRR = 19% Project M (medium risk): Cost of capital = 15% IRR = 13% Project L (low risk): Cost of capital = 7% IRR = 11% Note that the projects' costs of capital vary because the projects have different levels of risk. The company's optimal capital structure calls for 50% debt and 50% common equity, and it expects to have net income of $7,714,500. If Walsh establishes its dividends from the residual dividend model, what will be its payout ratio? Round your answer to two decimal places.

Wildhorse Company is considering two different, mutually exclusive capital expenditure proposals. Project A will cost $435,000, has an expected useful life of 11 years and a salvage value of zero, and is expected to increase net annual cash flows by $74,600. Project B will cost $253,000, has an expected useful life of 11 years and a salvage value of zero, and is expected to increase net annual cash flows by $45,200. A discount rate of 10% is appropriate for both projects. Click here to view PV table.Compute the net present value and profitability index of each project. (If the net present value is negative, use either a negative sign preceding the number eg -45 or parentheses eg (45). Round present value answers to 0 decimal places, e.g. 125 and profitability index answers to 2 decimal places, e.g. 15.25. For calculation purposes, use 5 decimal places as displayed in the factor table provided.) Net present value - Project A   $enter the number rounded to 2 decimal places…

Blossom Company is considering two different, mutually exclusive capital expenditure proposals. Project A will cost $454,000, has an expected useful life of 13 years and a salvage value of zero, and is expected to increase net annual cash flows by $68,000. Project B will cost $300,000, has an expected useful life of 13 years and a salvage value of zero, and is expected to increase net annual cash flows by $47,000. A discount rate of 9% is appropriate for both projects.

Kansas furniture Corporation (KFC) is evaluating a capital budgeting project that costs $34,000 and is expected to generate after-tax cash flows equal to $14,150 per year for three years. KFC's required rate of return is 12 percent. Compute the projects (a) net present value (NPV) and (b) internal rate of return (IRR). (c) Should the project be purchased?

The management of NUBD Co. is considering three investment projects-W, X, and Y. Project W would require an investment of P21,000, Project X of P66,000, and Project Y of P95,000. The present value of the cash inflows would be P22,470 for Project W, P73,920 for Project X, and P98,800 for Project Y. Rank the projects according to the profitability index, from most profitable to least profitable. *

Project S has a cost of $10,000 and is expected to produce benefits (cash flows) of $3,000 per year for 5 years. Project L costs $25,000 and is expected to produce cash flows of $7,400 per year for 5 years. Calculate the two projects’ NPVs, IRRs, assuming a cost of capital of 12%. Which project would be selected, assuming they are mutually exclusive, using each ranking method? Which should actually be selected?
