- Giorgio Co. is looking at an investment project with an internal rate of return of 10.8%. The initial outlay for the investment is $90,000. The hurdle rate or minimum acceptable rate of return is 10.2%.Dinaro Inc. is looking at an investment project that has an NPV of ($5,000). The hurdle rate is 8%.Would you rather have $7,500 today or at the end of 20 years after it has been invested at 15%? Explain your answer. The following are independent situations. For each capital budgeting project, indicate whether management should accept or reject the project and list a brief reason why.
- Fenton, Inc., has established a new strategic plan that calls for new capital investment. The company has a 9.8% required rate of return and an 8.3% cost of capital. Fenton currently has a return of 10% on its other investments. The proposed new investments have equal annual cash inflows expected. Management used a screening procedure of calculating a payback period for potential investments and annual cash flows, and the IRR for the 7 possible investments are displayed in image. Each investment has a 6-year expected useful life and no salvage value. A. Identify which project(s) is/are unacceptable and briefly state the conceptual justification as to why each of your choices is unacceptable. B. Assume Fenton has $330,000 available to spend. Which remaining projects should Fenton invest in and in what order? C. If Fenton was not limited to a spending amount, should they invest in all of the projects given the company is evaluated using return on investment?There are two projects under consideration by the Rainbow factory. Each of the projects will require an initial investment or $28.000 and is expected to generate the following cash flows: If the discount rate is 5% compute the NPV of each project and make a recommendation of the project to be chosen.Your division is considering two investment projects, each of which requires an up-front expenditure of 25 million. You estimate that the cost of capital is 10% and that the investments will produce the following after-tax cash flows (in millions of dollars): a. What is the regular payback period for each of the projects? b. What is the discounted payback period for each of the projects? c. If the two projects are independent and the cost of capital is 10%, which project or projects should the firm undertake? d. If the two projects are mutually exclusive and the cost of capital is 5%, which project should the firm undertake? e. If the two projects are mutually exclusive and the cost of capital is 15%, which project should the firm undertake? f. What is the crossover rate? g. If the cost of capital is 10%, what is the modified IRR (MIRR) of each project?
- A firm has only $10,000 to invest and must choose between two projects. Project A returns $12,400 after a year while project B pays $15,609 after three years. If management wants to select the investment with the higher return, which alternative should be chosen? Calculate the return for each investment and indicate which option provides the higher return and explain why.A firm is reviewing a project that has an initial cost of $85,000. The project will produce cash inflows, starting with year 1, of $10,000, $15,500, $23,600, $30,100, and finally in year five, $38,700. What is the profitability index if the discount rate is 14 percent?A firm has only $10,000 to invest and must choose between two projects. Project A returns $12,400 after a year while project B pays $15,609 after three years. If management wants to select the investment with the higher return, which alternative should be chosen?
- Perform a financial analysis for a project. Assume that the projected costs and benefits for this project are spread over four years as follows: Estimated costs are $300,000 in Year 1 and $ 75,000 each year in Years 2, 3, and 4. Estimated benefits are $0 in Year 1 and $110,000 each year in Years 2, 3, and 4. Use a 6 percent discount rate, and round the discount factors to two decimal places. What is the Return on Investment (ROI)? (Keep your answer in two decimal places. e.g. 46.59. Do not enter % symbol.)Suppose the following two independent investment opportunities are available to Fitz, Inc. The appropriate discount rate is 8 percent. Year Project Alpha Project Beta 0 −$5,500 −$7,100 1 2,800 1,600 2 2,700 5,500 3 1,700 4,500 a. Compute the profitability index for each of the two projects. (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answers to 3 decimal places, e.g., 32.161.) b. Which project(s), if either, should the company accept based on the profitability index rule? multiple choice Neither project Project Beta Both projects Project AlphaAn investment with total costs of $10,000 will generate total revenues of $11,000 for one year. Management thinks that since the investment is profitable, it should be made. Do you agree? What additional infromation would you want? If funds cost 12 percent, what would be your advice to management? Would your answer be different if the cost of capital is 8 percent?
