A tire manufacturing firm is considering Projects S and L, whose cash flows are shown below. These projects are mutually exclusive, equally risky, and not repeatable. What is the cost of capital at which the decision to take project L (or S) based on NPV will contradict the decision based on IRR method? Hint: Calculate the crossover rate and explain how the crossover rate would influence your decision to take project L or project S based on NPV vs. IRR? Show your excel work and thoroughly explain your answer. See cash flows below: Year 0 1 2 3 4 Project L: CFL -$2,050 $770 $780 $790 $795 Project S: CFS -$4,300 $1,300 $1,510 $1,520 $1,530

ND Inc. is considering Projects S and L, whose cash flows are shown below. These projects are mutually exclusive, equally risky, and not repeatable. The CEO believes the IRR is the best selection criterion, while the CFO advocates other methods. If the decision is made by choosing the project with the higher IRR, how much, if any, value will be forgone, i.e., what's the NPV and IRR of the chosen project(s). What is the Payback period and discounted payback period?
Sexton Inc. is considering Projects S and L, whose cash flows are shown below. These projects are mutually exclusive, equally risky, and not repeatable. If the decision is made by choosing the project with the higher IRR, how much value will be forgone? Note that under certain conditions choosing projects on the basis of the IRR will not cause any value to be lost because the one with the higher IRR will also have the higher NPV, so no value will be lost if the IRR method is used.

The CEO believes the IRR is the best selection criterion, while the CFO advocates other methods. If the decision is made by choosing the project with the higher IRR, how much, if any, value will be forgone, i.e., what's the Profitability index? Discuss your results of these methods and make a recommendation on the projects to the CEO about which one to go for and why?
Nast Inc. is considering Projects S and L, whose cash flows are shown below. These projects are mutually exclusive, equally risky, and not repeatable. If the decision is made by choosing the project with the higher MIRR rather than the one with the higher NPV, how much value will be forgone? Note that under some conditions choosing projects on the basis of the MIRR will cause $0.00 value to be lost.
If two mutually exclusive projects were being compared, would a high cost of capital favor the longer-term or the shorter-term project? Why? If the cost of capital declined, would that lead firms to invest more in longer-term projects or shorter-term projects? Would a decline (or an increase) in the WACC cause changes in the IRR ranking of mutually exclusive projects?Note: DONOT GIVE BREIF ANSWER USE SHORT CONCEPTUAL ANSWER
Yonan Inc. is considering Projects S and L, whose cash flows are shown below. These projects are mutually exclusive, equally risky, and not repeatable.

A company is evaluating two mutually exclusive projects A and B, and both have conventional cashflows (i.e. all inflows after the initial outflow). Project A has an IRR of 14% and the NPV profiles of Project A and Project B cross-over at 10%. Illustrate, using a graph or any other means, the range of values of cost of capital, when the NPV rule and IRR rule will not lead to the same decision.
Crenshaw Enterprise has gathered project cash flows for two projects. a. At what interest rate would the compapny be indifferent between the two projects? (DO NOT ROUND INTERMEDIATE CALCULATIONS) b. Which project is better if the required return is above this interest rate? Please help me solve this question using Excel.
