Average rate of return The following data are accumulated by Watershed Inc. in evaluating two competing capital investment proposals: Determine the expected average rate of return for each project.
Calculate the cash flows for each year. Based on these cash flows and the average project cost of capital, what are the projects NPV, IRR, MIRR, PI, payback, and discounted payback? Do these indicators suggest that the project should be undertaken?
Internal rate of return For the project shown in the following table, calculate the internal rate of return (IRR). Then indicate, for the project, the maximum cost of capital that the firm could have and still find the IRR acceptable.
The firm is facing capital rationing challenges. Given the current economic situation, the minimum required rate of return for both projects is 4.37%. Based on the given information, which project should you accept and why? Please show all the calculations by which you came up with the final answer.
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. Project A -5000 +1000 +1000 +3000 0 B -1000 0 +1000 +2000 +3000 C -5000 +1000 +1000 +3000 +5000 I will need full analysis (qualitative examples and references citations and examples of relative current investments of big companies.
Pound Industries is attempting to select the best of three mutually exclusive projects. The initial investment and subsequent cash inflows associated with these projects are shown in the following table attached: a. Calculate the payback period for each project. b. Calcuate the net present value (NPV) of each project, assuming that the firm has a cost of capital equal to 13%. c. Calculate the internal rate of return (IRR) for each project. d. Indicate which project you would recommend.

ZeeZee’s Construction Company has the opportunity to select one of four projects (A, B, C, or D) or the null (Do Nothing) alternative. Each project requires a single initial investment and has an internal rate of return as shown in the first table below. The second table shows the incremental IRR(s) for pairwise comparisons between each project and all other projects with a smaller initial investment. For each of the values of MARR below indicate which project is preferred based on an incremental IRR analysis. a. MARR = 50%. b. MARR = 41%. c. MARR = 25%.
Compute the IRR statistic for Project X and note whether the firm should accept or reject the project with the cash flows shown as follows if the appropriate cost of capital is 10 percent. Time: 0 1 2 3 4 5 Cash flow: −75 −75 0 100 75 50
A firm evaluates all of its projects by applying the NPV decision rule. A project under consideration has the following cash flows: Year Cash Flow 0 –$ 28,900 1 12,900 2 15,900 3 11,900 What is the NPV for the project if the required return is 11 percent? At a required return of 11 percent, should the firm accept this project? What is the NPV for the project if the required return is 25 percent?

Assume CAPM holds and you have the following information regarding three investment opportunities: Project 1 has a project beta of 2.0 and you have estimated that the project’s NPV using a cost of capital of 20% equals zero. Project 2 has a project beta of 1.5 and its NPV using a cost of capital of 10% equals zero. Lastly, project 3 has a project beta of 1.0 and its NPV equals zero using a cost of capital of 6%. None of these projects are ‘scale-enhancing’ for the firm, i.e. they are different than the regular operations the firm currently maintains. As the head of the capital budgeting department you are trying to decide which projects should be accepted. The company has a levered equity beta of 0.8 and a debt-to-equity ratio of 0.5, which the company is planning to maintain for the foreseeable future. The company currently faces a 40% tax rate. Given that the expected return on the market portfolio is 8% and the risk-free rate is 3%, which projects would you accept and why?…
