Question
You are deciding between two mutually exclusive investment opportunities. Both require the same initial investment of $10 million. Investment A will generate $2 million per year (starting at the end of the first year) in perpetuity. Investment B will generate $1.5 million at the end of the first year and its revenues will grow at 2% per year for every year after that.
(1) Which investment has the higher
(2) Which investment has the higher
(3) In this case, for what values of the cost of capital does picking the higher IRR give the correct answer as to which investment is the best opportunity?

- You are considering a safe investment opportunity that requires a $1,450 investment today, and will pay $950 two years from now and another $710 five years from now. a. What is the IRR of this investment? b. If you are choosing between this investment and putting your money in a safe bank account that pays an EAR of 5% per year for any horizon, can you make the decision by simply comparing this EAR with the IRR of the investment? Explain. a. What is the IRR of this investment? The IRR of this investment is %. (Round to two decimal places.)arrow_forwardConsider an investment project in which you invest $3,500 today in order to receive $525 at the end of each of the next 10 years. If the cost of capital is 12% per year, what is the IRR and should the project be accepted? 7.23%, accept project 7.23%, reject project 5.28%, accept project 5.28%, reject project 8.14%, reject project 8.14%, accept project a. b. C. d. e. O f.arrow_forwardK You have been offered a unique investment opportunity. If you invest $11,300 today, you will receive $565 one year from now, $1,695 two years from now, and $11,300 ten years from now. a. What is the NPV of the opportunity if the cost of capital is 5.7% per year? Should you take the opportunity? b. What is the NPV of the opportunity if the cost of capital is 1.7% per year? Should you take it now? a. What is the NPV of the opportunity if the cost of capital is 5,7% per year? If the cost of capital is 5.7% per year, the NPV is $. (Round to the nearest cent.)arrow_forward
- You are responsible to manage an IS project with a 4-year horizon. The annal cost of the project is estimated at $40,000 per year, and a one-time costs of $120,000. The annual monetary benefit of the project is estimated at $96,000 per year with a discount rate of 6 percent. a. Calculate the overall return on investment (ROI) of the project. b. Perform a break-even analysis (BEA). At what year does break-even occur?arrow_forwardAlternative Uno has a first cost of $10,000 and annual expenses of $3000, whereas Alternative Dos has a first cost of $35,000, annual expenses of $2000, and a recurring cost of $5000 every 10 years. If both alternatives have an infinite life, which of the following equations can be used to solve for the rate of return on the incremental investment? (a) 0 = −$25, 000 + $1000/i − $5000(A/F, i, 10) (b) 0 = −$25, 000 + $1000/i + $5000(A/P, i, 10)/i (c) 0 = −$25, 000 + $1000/i − $5000(A/F, i, 10)/i (d) 0 = +$25, 000 − $1000/i + $5000(A/F, i, 10)?arrow_forwardSuppose an investment has an initial capital cost of $1100, an ongoing cost of $6.50 per year and an annual benefit of $80. If the project lasts for 20 years and the discount rate is 7%, the internal rate of return is: Provide your answer in percentage form (e.g. an IRR of 17.66% should be entered as 17.66) to 2 decimal places. Do not include any $ or % 's in your response.arrow_forward
- Project A, currently requires an investment of IDR 250 billion, and will generate revenue of IDR 275 billion next year. Meanwhile, to build project B, a fund of IDR 2.5 trillion is needed, with a potential revenue of IDR 2.7 trillion in the following year. Using the concepts of internal rate of return and net present value, which project should be built? Explain your reasons. (assuming the prevailing interest rate is 6 percent).arrow_forwardYou’re trying to choose between two different investments, both of which have upfront costs of K75,000. Investment G returns K135,000 in six years. Investment H returns K195,000 in 10 years. Which of these investments has the higher return?arrow_forwardYou have a potential project for which you want to establish the value of any possible real options. The project will have an initial cost of $86 million, which must be paid at the time of investment. You realize that the project has four possible cash flows starting in year 1 and continuing forever. First, there is a 22% chance of earning $1.02 million per year starting in year 1. Second, there is a 26% chance of earning $6.54 million per year starting in year 1. Third, there is a 20% chance the the project will earn $5.82 million per year. Fourth, there is a chance that the project will earn $3.22. These are the only four possibilities. In 2 year(s), you will be able to improve the quality of your manufacturing process to increase the net CFs from the project if you would like to. The cost of this will be $62 million, and the cash flows will increase beginning immediately when you make this investment (the CFs increase starting the same year that you pay the improvement cost) and…arrow_forward
- You are considering in investing one of the two options: Investment A requires a $175,000 upfront payment and generates $12,000 annually, Investment B requires a $250,000 upfront payment. How much should Investment B generate annually so that the total returns from Investment A and B become equal after 25 years? O None of the others O $15,000 O $9,000 O $75,000 O $3,000arrow_forwardAn investment will generate $12,000 a year for 30 years. If you can earn 12 percent on your funds and the investment costs $100,000, calculate the present value of investment. Use Appendix D to answer the question. Round your answer to the nearest dollar.$ Should you buy it?-Select-YesNoItem 2 Calculate the present value of investment, if you could earn only 9 percent. Use Appendix D to answer the question. Round your answer to the nearest dollar.$ Should you buy it in this case?arrow_forwardYou have been offered a unique investment opportunity. If you invest $8,900 today, you will receive $445 one year from now, $1,335 two years from now, and $8,900 ten years from now. a. What is the NPV of the opportunity if the cost of capital is 6.7% per year? Should you take the opportunity? b. What is the NPV of the opportunity if the cost of capital is 2.7% per year? Should you take it now?arrow_forward
