- Consider the following cash flows for two mutually exclusive capital investment projects. The required rate of return is 16%. Use this information for the next 3 questions. Year Project A Cash Flow Project B Cash Flow ($50,000) ($20,000) 1 15,000 6,000 15,000 6,000 15,000 6,000 4 13,500 5,400 13,500 5,400 6,750 5,400 What is the profitability index of project B? 1.03 1.06 .94 1.01 1.09arrow_forwardPlease help mearrow_forwardThe management of NUBD Co. is considering three investment projects-W, X, and Y. Project W would require an investment of P21,000, Project X of P66,000, and Project Y of P95,000. The present value of the cash inflows would be P22,470 for Project W, P73,920 for Project X, and P98,800 for Project Y. Rank the projects according to the profitability index, from most profitable to least profitable. *arrow_forward
- consider the following two investments with the cashfow as shown. given the project are mutually exclusive, use Incremental-Investement Analysis to determine which of the two projects you should select. Given that the MARR required by management is 12%.arrow_forward3. Project A and Project B are mutually exclusive. Project A has an IRR of 22.5 and Project B has an IRR of 30.8. The two projects happen to have equal net present value at a discount rate of 16.25%. The firms cost of capital is 12 percent. Explain with a graph, which project creates more value and which project should be chosen.arrow_forwardCalculate the NPVs of both Project X and Project Y. Show the NPVs for each project. If the Projects are Independent which would you approve? If the Projects are Mutually Exclusive which would you approve?arrow_forward
- Bruin, Incorporated, has identified the following two mutually exclusive projects: Year Cash Flow (A) Cash Flow (B) 0 −$ 28,500 −$ 28,500 1 13,900 4,050 2 11,800 9,550 3 8,950 14,700 4 4,850 16,300 a-1. What is the IRR for each of these projects? a-2. Using the IRR decision rule, which project should the company accept? multiple choice 1 Project A Project B a-3. Is this decision necessarily correct? multiple choice 2 Yes No b-1. If the required return is 11 percent, what is the NPV for each of these projects? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answers to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) b-2. Which project will the company choose if it applies the NPV decision rule? multiple choice 3 Project A Project B c. At what discount rate would the company be indifferent between these two projects? (Do not round intermediate…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.

Calculate the discounted payback of Project A. c. Calculate the IRR of Project A. d. Using the NPV method and assuming a cost of capital of 8 percent, which of these projects should be accepted?arrow_forwardMolin Inc. is considering to a project that will have the following series of cash flow from assets (in $ million): Year Cash flow 0 -1,580.92 1 453 2 749 3 935 The required return for the project is 6%. Year Cash flow 0 -1,580.92 1 453 2 749 3 935 1. The required return for the project is 6%. 2. What is the project's profitability index? 3.

- (Related to Checkpoint 11.1 and Checkpoint 11.4) (IRR and NPV calculation) The cash flows for three independent projects are found below: a. Calculate the IRR for each of the projects. b. If the discount rate for all three projects is 13 percent, which project or projects would you want to undertake? c. What is the net present value of each of the projects where the appropriate discount rate is 13 percent? a. The IRR of Project A is%. (Round to two decimal places.) Data table Year 0 (Initial investment) Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Year 4 Year 5 Project A $(70,000) $12,000 18,000 19,000 28,000 33,000 Project B $(110,000) $28,000 28,000 28,000 28,000 28,000 Project C $(420,000) $240,000 240,000 240,000arrow_forwardYou are choosing between two projects. The cash flows for the projects are given in the attached table ($miilion) . a. What are the IRRs of the two projects? (A &B) b. If your discount rate is 4.9%,what are theNPVs of the two projects? (A & B) c. Why do IRR and NPV rank the two projects differently?arrow_forwardThe following are the cash flows of two independent projects: Year Project A Project B 0 $ (270 ) $ (270 ) 1 150 170 2 150 170 3 150 170 4 150 a. If the opportunity cost of capital is 12%, calculate the NPV for both projects. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)arrow_forward
