Question

Quantitative Problem: Bellinger Industries is considering two projects for inclusion in its capital budget, and you have been asked to do the analysis. Both projects' after-tax cash flows are shown on the time line below. Depreciation, salvage values, net operating working capital requirements, and tax effects are all included in these cash flows. Both projects have 4-year lives, and they have risk characteristics similar to the firm's average project. Bellinger's WACC is 10%.

	0	1	2	3	4

Project A	-950	550	370	220	360
Project B	-950	150	305	370	810

What is Project A’s IRR? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to two decimal places.

%

What is Project B's IRR? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to two decimal places.

%

If the projects were independent, which project(s) would be accepted according to the IRR method?

-Select-NeitherProject AProject BBoth projects A and BCorrect 1 of Item 3

If the projects were mutually exclusive, which project(s) would be accepted according to the IRR method?

-Select-Neither Project AProject BBoth projects A and BCorrect 2 of Item 3

Could there be a conflict with project acceptance between the NPV and IRR approaches when projects are mutually exclusive?

-Select-YesNoCorrect 3 of Item 3

The reason is -Select-the NPV and IRR approaches use the same reinvestment rate assumption so both approaches reach the same project acceptance when mutually projects are considered.the NPV and IRR approaches use different reinvestment rate assumptions so there can be a conflict in project acceptance when mutually exclusive projects are considered.Correct 4 of Item 3

Reinvestment at the -Select-IRRWACCCorrect 5 of Item 3 is the superior assumption, so when mutually exclusive projects are evaluated the -Select-NPVIRRCorrect 6 of Item 3 approach should be used for the capital budgeting decision.
