Fransico Ltd. is trying to determine which of three projects it wants to invest in. All three projects have been analyzed into Net Present Value amounts. (Round your answers to two decimal places when needed and use rounded answers for all future calculations). 1. Calculate the Net Present Value based on the following information: Cash Flows Project 2 Project 6 Project 12 Present Value of net cash inflows $491,900 $778,300 $503,700 Initial InvestmentSingle line $146,000Single line $407,400Single line $206,400Single line Single lineNet Present ValueDouble line Single lineDouble line Single lineDouble line Single lineDouble line 2.

Please show all work on excel. You just got hired by McKinsey & Company as a financial consultant and they’re paying you an egregious amount of money. Accordingly, they have you working on the tough projects – like this one… Consider the following two mutually exclusive projects available to the firm.

Assume the two projects have essentially the same level of riskiness, and your prior analysis indicates that the appropriate risk-adjusted hurdle rate (i.e., the WACC) is 7.45% for both projects. Perform the analysis below and make a recommendation as to which project to pursue. Year 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 Project A -$3,200 $700 $700 $700 $700 $700 $700 Project B -$600 $58 $58 $695 B.
