Basic NPV methods tell us that the value of a project today is NPV0. Time value of money issues also lead us to believe that if we choose not to do the project that it will be worth NPV1 one period from now, such that NPV0 > NPV1. Why then do we see some firms choosing to defer taking on a project. Be complete and thorough in your answer.

Refer to Exercise 19.11. 1. Compute the payback period for each project. Assume that the manager of the clinic accepts only projects with a payback period of three years or less. Offer some reasons why this may be a rational strategy even though the NPV computed in Exercise 19.11 may indicate otherwise. 2. Compute the accounting rate of return for each project.

The Michner corporation is trying is trying to choose between the following 2 mutually exclusive design project: Cash Flow 1 Cash Flow 2 Year 0: -82000 -21700 Year 1: 37600 11200 Year 2: 37600 11200 Year 3: 37600 11200 If the required return is 10% and the company applies the profitability index decision rule, which project should the firm accept? If the company applies the NPV decision rule, which project should it take? why are a & b are different

I need solutions for questions d, e, f, g, h and i. Thanks d. Are this project’s cash flows likely to be positively or negatively correlated withreturns on Cory’s other projects and with the economy, and should this matter in youranalysis? Explain.e. Unrelated to the new product, Cory is analyzing two mutually exclusive machines thatwill upgrade its manufacturing plant. These machines are considered average-riskprojects, so management will evaluate them at the firm’s 10% WACC. Machine Xhas a life of 4 years, while Machine Y has a life of 2 years. The cost of each machineis $60,000; however, Machine X provides after-tax cash flows of $25,000 per year for4 years and Machine Y provides after-tax cash flows of $42,000 per year for 2 years. Themanufacturing plant is very successful, so the machines will be repurchased at the endof each machine’s useful life. In other words, the machines are “repeatable” projects.1. Using the replacement chain method, what is the NPV of the better machine?2.…
. Suppose that your organization wants to decide which one of the given two projects can be selected for the development, as summarized in the following table. Calculate the Expected Monetary Value (EMV) for each project and suggest which project can be selected? Probability of occurrence of risk/opportunity (Impact) Estimated Profits/Losses Project 1 40% $140000 60% -$60000 Project 2 80% $40000 20% -$8000
All parts are under one question therefore per your policy all can be answered. 7. The NPV and payback period What information does the payback period provide? Suppose you are evaluating a project with the expected future cash inflows shown in the following table. Your boss has asked you to calculate the project’s net present value (NPV). You don’t know the project’s initial cost, but you do know the project’s regular, or conventional, payback period is 2.50 years. Year Cash Flow Year 1 $375,000 Year 2 $425,000 Year 3 $500,000 Year 4 $400,000 A. If the project’s weighted average cost of capital (WACC) is 9%, the project’s NPV (rounded to the nearest dollar) is: $353,334 $305,152 $273,031 $321,213 B. Which of the following statements indicate a disadvantage of using the regular payback period (not the discounted payback period) for capital budgeting decisions? Check all that apply. The payback period does not…
Consider the following projects, X and Y where the firm can only choose one. Project X costs $1500 and has cash flows of $678, $652, $347, $111, $54, $16 in each of the next 6 years. Project Y also costs $1500, and generates cash flows of $738, $693, $405 for the next 3 years, respectively. WACC=11%.If it possible for conflicts to exist between the NPV and the IRR when independent projects are being evaluated? Explain your answer.
