CAPITAL BUDGETING CRITERIA: MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE PROJECTS Project S requires an initial outlay at t = 0 of 17,000, and its expected cash flows would be 5,000 per year for 5 years. Mutually exclusive Project L requires an initial outlay at t = 0 of 30,000, and its expected cash flows would be 8,750 per year for 5 years. If both projects have a WACC of 12%, which project would you recommend? Explain.

NPV Your division is considering two projects with the following cash flows (in millions): a. What are the projects’ NPVs assuming the WACC is 5%? 10%? 15%?b. What are the projects’ IRRs at each of these WACCs?c. If the WACC was 5% and A and B were mutually exclusive, which project would you choose? What if the WACC was 10%? 15%? (Hint: The crossover rate is 7.81%.)
