What information does the payback period provide? Suppose Praxis Corporation's CFO is evaluating a project with the following cash inflows. She does not know the project's initial cost; however, she does know that the project's regular payback period is 2.5 years. Year Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Year 4 Cash Flow $350,000 $450,000 $475,000 $400,000 If the project's weighted average cost of capital (WACC) is 7%, what is its NPV? $300,440 O $394,328 O $413,105 O $375,550

A company is analyzing two mutually exclusive projects, S and L, whose cash flows are shown below: Years 0 1 2 3 4 S -1,100 900 350 100 10 L -1,100 0 300 550 850 The company's cost of capital is 12 percent, and it can get an unlimited amount of capital at that cost. The cutoff payback period is two years. Which project should the company choose based on payback period and discounted payback period? Question 5 options: Based on payback, choose project L; based on discounted payback, also choose L. Based on payback, choose project L; based on discounted payback, choose neither. Based on payback, choose project S; based on discounted payback, also choose S. Based on payback, choose project S; based on discounted payback, choose neither.

Compute the payback period statistic for Project X and recommend whether the firm should accept or reject the project with the cash flows shown in the chart if the maximum allowable payback is four years. year 0-(-$1,450) Year 1-$250 Year 2-$380 Year 3-$620 Year 4-$1,000 Year 5-$100

Suppose an opportunity arises to invest $10 million that will pay $5.5 million at the end of year 1 and $6.5 million at the end of year two. The cost of capital is 10%.   Find NPV. Is the project a go? Show and explain Suppose the project’s cash flows are delayed a year, but not the outlay. How does that change your answer? Show and explain Suppose there is a cost overrun of 20%. The cash flows and their timing are the same as in part a. How does this change your answer? Show and explain. Suppose the second-year cash flow decreases to $5 million. The outlay and timing of the cash flows are the same as in part a. How does this change your answer? Show and explain. Evaluate the proposal. Would you undertake it?

The NPV and payback period What information does the payback period provide? Suppose ABC Telecom Inc.’s CFO is evaluating a project with the following cash inflows. She does not know the project’s initial cost; however, she does know that the project’s regular payback period is 2.5 years. Year Cash Flow Year 1 $350,000 Year 2 $500,000 Year 3 $500,000 Year 4 $400,000   If the project’s weighted average cost of capital (WACC) is 10%, what is its NPV? $280,268   $224,214   $252,241   $322,308     Which of the following statements indicate a disadvantage of using the discounted payback period for capital budgeting decisions? Check all that apply. The discounted payback period does not take the project’s entire life into account.   The discounted payback period is calculated using net income instead of cash flows.   The discounted payback period does not take the time value of money into account.

You are considering a project that has the following cash flow data. What is the project's payback? Year 0 1 2 3 Cash Flow -900 350 450 550 Group of answer choices 2.40 1.53 1.96 2.18 2.62

Kiley Electronics is considering a project that has the following cash flow data. What is the project's IRR? Note that a project's IRR can be less than the cost of capital (and even negative), in which case it will be rejected.  r: 10.00%       Year 0 1 2 3 Cash flows −$1,000 $550 $560 $570

7. The NPV and payback period What information does the payback period provide? Suppose Praxis Corporation's CFO is evaluating a project with the following cash inflows. She does not know the project's initial cost; however, she does know that the project's regular payback period is 2.5 years. Year Cash Flow Year 1 $350,000 Year 2 $475,000 Year 3 $475,000 Year 4 $400,000 If the project's weighted average cost of capital (WACC) is 10%, what is its NPV? $278,324 $333,989 $292,240 $236,575 Which of the following statements indicate a disadvantage of using the discounted payback period for capital budgeting decisions? Check all that apply. ☐ The discounted payback period does not take the project's entire life into account. The discounted payback period does not take the time value of money into account. The discounted payback period is calculated using net income instead of cash flows. ☐

I think the payback periods are correct, I just need the different cash flows of each year + the final question at the bottom. Thank you.
