You must analyze two projects, X and Y. Each project costs$10,000, and the firm’s WACC is 12%. The expected cash flows are as follows:a. Calculate each project’s NPV, IRR, MIRR, payback, and discounted payback.b. Which project(s) should be accepted if they are independent?c. Which project(s) should be accepted if they are mutually exclusive?d. How might a change in the WACC produce a conflict between the NPV and IRR rankingsof the two projects? Would there be a conflict if WACC were 5%? (Hint: Plot theNPV profiles. The crossover rate is 6.21875%.)e. Why does the conflict exist?
You are considering the following two projects which are mutually exclusive. The required return on each project is 14%. Which project should you accept and what is the best reason for that decision?

NOTE: Provide a format and show your work (example: N = 6, PV = XXX, I = X%, etc.) 1. As the project manager at Jelz, Inc., you are considering a project that will cost $4,276 and produce cash flows of $1,050 in year 1, $1,250 in year 2, $1,250 in year 3, and $1,550 in year 4. Find the rate of return for the project and determine if you should take the project if your required rate of return is 7.15%. (This is a 2 part question, make sure you answer both parts. Numerical answers should be rounded to 2 decimal places.) 2. You are looking to buy a car. You can afford $550 in monthly payments for five years. In addition to the loan, you can make a $6,000 down payment. If interest rates are 7.25 percent APR, what price of car can you afford (loan plus down payment)? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your final answer to 2 decimal places.)
Consider two projects: A) with cashlows in years 0-4 of -300$, 120$, 120$, 120$ and respectively 120$, B) with casháows in years 0-3 of -300$, 150$, 150$ and respectively 150$ 5 What is the payback period of each project?(a) Is the project with the shortest payback period also the one with the highest NPV? Explain. 6 What are the internal rates of return on the two projects?(a) Does the IRR rule in this case give the same advice i.e. preferred outcome as NPV?
Consider the following two projects: (a) Calculate the profitability index for A1 and A2 at an interest rate of 6%.(b) Determine which project(s) you should accept (1) if you have enough money to undertake both and (2) if you could take only one due to a budget limit.
