Project X is very risky and has an NPV of $3 million. Project Y is very safe and has an NPVof $2.5 million. They are mutually exclusive, and project risk has been properly consideredin the NPV analyses. Which project should be chosen? Explain.

Which of the following statements is correct?   a. Since investors prefer more return and less risk, one will never hold a dominated asset in the risk-return sense. In other words, if asset A has a higher expected return and lower standard-deviation than asset B, then investors would only hold asset A in their optimal portfolio.   b. The IRR method correctly ranks mutually exclusive projects.   c. When an investment project is evaluated today, the spending that occurred in the last year has to be included in the NPV analysis.   d. The payback period criterion properly considers the time value of money.   e. When there are two mutually exclusive projects, the project with the highest NPV should be chosen.

1) What is the company's WACC? 2) Should the company take the projects? Assume that the projects have the same risk as an average project for your firm. 3) If one project is depended on the other in a way that the company can only take both projects, should it take it?

WHICH OF THE FOLLOWING STATEMENT IS CORRECT?

When faced with a set of independent projects, one should select (choose the best answer) all projects with a PI greater than one. all projects with an IRR greater than the hurdle rate all projects with a positive NPV or an IRR greater than the hurdle rate or a PI greater than one. all projects with a positive NPV or an IRR greater than the hurdle rate. all projects with an IRR greater than the hurdle rate or a PI greater than one. all projects with a positive NPV or a PI greater than the one. all projects with a positive NPV

4. Modified internal rate of return (MIRR) The IRR evaluation method assumes that cash flows from the project are reinvested at the same rate equal to the IRR However, in reality the reinvested cash flows may not necessarily generate a return equal to the IRR. Thus, the modified IRR approach makes a more reasonable assumption other than the project's IRR Consider the following situation: Cold Goose Metal Works Inc. is analyzing a project that requires an initial investment of $600,000. The project's expected cash flows are: Year Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Year 4 Cold Goose Metal Works Inc.'s WACC is 7%, and the project has the same risk as the firm's average project. Calculate this project's modified internal rate of return (MIRR): 17.50% 14.00% Cash Flow $350,000 -100,000 450,000 400,000 19.25%

Give detail explanation

Which of the following were listed as potential Problems or Issues associated with Using a Rate of Return Approach to justifying single or multiple Mutually Exclusive projects? Note: This is a Multiple Answer question. Please select all of the following options you think are correct? O The ROR calculations are typically more complex than the PW, AW, or FW methods and frequently require the use of trial and error techniques. O You cannot rely on the best Mutually Exclusive project to have the highest ROR. O An incremental approach is required to reliably determine the best project when comparing multiple Mutually Exclusive projects with the ROR approach. O This method assumes that any net positive cash flows are reinvested at the ROR rate. If the ROR rate is substantially larger than MARR, this might not be a realistic assumption. OFor any sequence of Net Cash Flows with more than one sign chance over the life of the project there may be more than one ROR value that satisfies the Rate…

Current Design Co. is considering two mutually exclusive, equally risky, and not repeatable projects, S and L. Their cash flows are shown below. The CEO believes the IRR is the best selection criterion, while the CFO advocates the NPV. If the decision is made by choosing the project with the higher IRR rather than the one with the higher NPV, how much, if any, value will be forgone, i.e., what's the chosen NPV versus the maximum possible NPV? Note that (1) "true value" is measured by NPV, and (2) under some conditions the choice of IRR vs. NPV will have no effect on the value gained or lost. r: 8% Year CFS CFL $149.21 $130.31 $121.42 $101.96 $98.10 0 -$1,200 -$2,800 $700 $600 2 $600 $735 3 $150 $700 4 $110 $1,800

29....When using the NPV method the decision making rationale includes the following (select all that apply): a.If projects are mutually exclusive, accept the project with the highest positive NPV. b.If projects are independent, accept if the project NPV<0. c.If projects are independent, accept if the project NPV>0 d.If the projects are mutually exclusive, accept the project with lowest NPV.
