Ingram Electric is considering a project with an initial cash outflow of $800,000. This project is expected to have cash inflows of $350,000 per year in years 1, 2, and 3. The company has a WACC of 8.05% which is used as its reinvestment rate. What is the project's modified internal rate of return (MIRR) ?
(Calculating IRR, payback, and a missing cash flow)
The Merriweather Printing Company is trying to decide on the merits of constructing a new publishing facility.
The project is expected to provide a series of positive cash flows for each of the next four years.
The estimated cash flows associated with this project are as follows:
Year
Project Cash Flow
0
?
1
$800,000
2
400,000
3
300,000
4
500,000
If you know that the project has a regular payback of
2.5 years, what is the project's IRR?
The IRR of the project is ( ? ) %.
(Round to two decimal places.)
You are considering the investment of $111,000 (today) in a
lemonade stand.
Also, you expect the stand to generate the following future
cash flows:
• At the end of year 1: $0
• At the end of year 2: $0
• At the end of year 3: $0
• At the end of year 4: $178,000
What is the IRR (Internal Rate of Return) of this project?
(Answer to the nearest 0.01%)

- What information does the payback period provide? Suppose you are evaluating a project with the expected future cash inflows shown in the following table. Your boss has asked you to calculate the project's net present value (NPV). You don't know the project's initial cost, but you do know the project's regular, or conventional, payback period is 2.50 years. If the project's weighted average cost of capital (WACC) is 9%, the project's NPV (rounded to the nearest dollar) is: $355,048 $287,420 $405,769 $338,141 Which of the following statements indicate a disadvantage of using the regular payback period (not the discounted payback period) for capital budgeting decisions? Check all that apply. The payback period does not take the time value of money into account. The payback period is calculated using net income instead of cash flows. The payback period does not take the project's entire life into account.arrow_forward(Net present value calculation) Big Steve's, makers of swizzle sticks, is considering the purchase of a new plastic stamping machine.

Should the project be accepted? Why or why not? b. What is the project's NPV using a discount rate of 14 percent? Should the project be accepted? Why or why not? c.

To answer this question, Green Caterpillar’s CFO has asked that you compute the project’s payback period using the following expected net cash flows and assuming that the cash flows are received evenly throughout each year. Complete the following table and compute the project’s conventional payback period. Round the payback period to the nearest two decimal places. Be sure to complete the entire table—even if the values exceed the point at which the cost of the project is recovered.
