You are considering the following two mutually exclusive investments: Project Year 0 Year 1 Year 2 A -$80 0 $120 B -$40 $28 $28 Which project has the higher NPV if the required rate of return is 5%?

If the net present value of A is +$60 and of B is +$30, then what is the net present value of the combined project?

Consider the following list of projects: Project Investment ($) 135,000 200,000 125,000 150,000 175,000 75,000 80,000 A B C D E F G H O O Assuming that your capital is constrained, which investment tool should you use to determine the correct investment decisions? Incremental IRR IRR 200,000 50,000 Profitability Index NPV NPV ($) 6000 30,000 20,000 2000 10,000 10,000 9000 20,000 4000

The five alternatives shown below are being evaluated by the rate of return method. Incremental ROR when compared with alternative B C D 27.3 9.4 35.3 25 E 1.5 38.5 24.4 Alt B D E Initial Invest, $ ROR vs DN,% 9.6 15.1 -25,000 -35,000 -40,000 -60,000 -75,000 13.4 25.4 20.2 A --- --- (d) Alt D 46.5 27.3 6.8 ... If the projects are mutually exclusive and the Minimum Attractive Rate of Return is 9.2% per year, the best alternative is: (a) Alt A (b) Alt B (c) Alt C (e) Alt E

You are considering the following two mutually exclusive projects. The crossover rate between these two projects is ___ percent and Project ___ should be accepted if the required return is greater than the crossover rate. Year Project A Project B 0 −$ 31,000 −$ 31,000 1 12,000 20,140 2 12,000 10,000 3 20,000 12,160

Please solve step by step for clarity, thank you!

You are evaluating five investment projects. You already calculated the rate of return for each alternative investment and incremental rate of return between the two alternatives as well. In calculating the incremental rate of return, a lower cost investment project is subtracted from the higher cost investment project. All rate of return figures are rounded to the nearest integers. Investment Alternative Initial Investment ($) Rate of Return (%) Rate of Return on Incremental Investment (%) A CDE A B C D E b.Select E. c. Select B. 35,000 45,000 d.

Consider the following two projects: Cash flows Project A Project B C0�0 −$ 240 −$ 240 C1�1 100 123 C2�2 100 123 C3�3 100 123 C4�4 100   a. 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?

1. What is the project’s net present value? 2. What is the project’s internal rate of return to the nearest whole percent? 3. What is the project’s simple rate of return?

Suppose your firm is considering investing in a project with the cash flows shown below, that the required rate of return on projects of this risk class is 11 percent, and that the maximum allowable payback and discounted payback statistic for the project are 2 and 3 years, respectively.   Time  0 1 2 3 4 5 6   Cash Flow -1,040 140 460 660 660 260 660 Use the NPV decision rule to evaluate this project; should it be accepted or rejected?
