Net present value method, present value index, and analysis for a service company First United Bank Inc. is evaluating three capital investment projects by using the net present value method. Relevant data related to the projects are summarized as follows: Instructions 1. Assuming that the desired rate of return is 15%, prepare a net present value analysis for each project. Use the present value table appearing in Exhibit 2 of this chapter. 2. Determine a present value index for each project. (Round to two decimal places.) 3. Which project offers the largest amount of present value per dollar of investment? Explain.
Project S has a cost of $10,000 and is expected to produce benefits (cash flows) of $3,000 per year for 5 years. Project L costs $25,000 and is expected to produce cash flows of $7,400 per year for 5 years. Calculate the two projects’ NPVs, IRRs, MIRRs, and PIs, assuming a cost of capital of 12%. Which project would be selected, assuming they are mutually exclusive, using each ranking method? Which should actually be selected?
What are the internal rates of return (IRR) on the three projects? Does the IRR rule in this case give the same decision as NPV? How do you know? If the opportunity cost of capital is 11%, what is the profitability index for each project? Please analyze if, in general, decisions based on the profitability index are consistent with decisions based on NPV. What is the most generally accepted measure to choose between the projects? Please justify your answer.

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.
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? Year Project A Project B 0 $-46,000 $-46,000 1 $25,000 $11,000 2 $18,000 $19,000 3 $16,000 $32,000 a) Both Project A and B since they both have positive NPV b) Project A, because it has the higher profitability index c) Project A, because it has the higher net present value d) Project B, because it has the higher net present value
You are evaluating five investment projects. You have already calculated the rate of return for each alternative investment and incremental rate of return for the two alternatives. In calculating the incremental rate of return, a lower cost investment project is subtracted from the higher cost investment project. All rate of return figures are rounded to the nearest integers. If all investment alternatives are mutually exclusive and the MARR is 12%,which alternative should be chosen?(a) D(b) E(c) B(d) Do nothing
