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?
Projects S and L are equally risky, mutually exclusive, and have normal cash flows. Project S has an IRR of 15%, while Project L’s IRR is 12%. The two projects have the same NPV when the WACC is 7%. Which of the following statements is CORRECT? Group of answer choices If the WACC is 10%, both projects will have positive NPVs. If the WACC is 6%, Project S will have the higher NPV. If the WACC is 13%, Project S will have the lower NPV. Project S’s NPV is more sensitive to changes in WACC than Project L's. If the WACC is 10%, both projects will have a negative NPV.
Flint Fruits is considering two equally risky, mutually exclusive projects, Projects A and B, that have the following cash flows: Year Project A Project B 0 -$100,000 -$97,000 1 60,000 30,000 2 25,000 15,000 3 60,000 80,000 4 40,000 65,000 What is the cost of capital that would make the two projects having the same NPV values?(Please show work) Discuss why this cost of capital that would make two projects have the same NPV value would influence your decision to take project A or project B based on NPV versus IRR method?

You must analyze two projects, X and Y. Each project costs$10,000, and the firm’s WACC is 12%. The expected cash flows are as follows:a. Calculate each project’s NPV, IRR, MIRR, payback, and discounted payback.b. Which project(s) should be accepted if they are independent?c. Which project(s) should be accepted if they are mutually exclusive?d. How might a change in the WACC produce a conflict between the NPV and IRR rankingsof the two projects? Would there be a conflict if WACC were 5%? (Hint: Plot theNPV profiles. The crossover rate is 6.21875%.)e. Why does the conflict exist?
The management of NUBD Co. is considering three investment projects-W, X, and Y. Project W would require an investment of P21,000, Project X of P66,000, and Project Y of P95,000.

Sandia corporation is considering two independent projects. For our purposes, we will call them projects A and B. Project A is expected to cost $40,019, and project B is expected to cost $44,980. Each project's expected cash flows are presented below. Both project A and B have similar risks to all other projects at Sandia. And the weighted average cost of capital for Sandia is 6.94%. Calculate the net present value of both projects, and enter in the box below how much the value of the firm is expected to increase based on this capital budget (please enter the amount to the nearest penny).

Consider a project with free cash flows in one year of $134,759 in a weak market or $168,566 in a strong market, with each outcome being equally likely. The initial investment required for the project is $110,000, and the project's unlevered cost of capital is 20%. The risk-free interest rate is 9%. (Assume no taxes or distress costs.) a. What is the NPV of this project? b. Suppose that to raise the funds for the initial investment, the project is sold to investors as an all-equity firm. The equity holders will receive the cash flows of the project in one year. How much money can be raised in this way—that is, what is the initial market value of the unlevered equity? c. Suppose the initial $110,000 is instead raised by borrowing at the risk-free interest rate. What are the cash flows of the levered equity in a weak market and a strong market at the end of year 1, and what is its initial market value of the levered equity according to MM? Assume that the risk-free rate…
