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?
You are evaluating the following two mutually exclusive projects: Project Year 0 Year 1 Year 2 A -$100 $95 $140 B -$50 $50 $120 Both have 15% cost of capital. Using NPV profiles for Projects A and B, determine which project would be chosen under each of IRR rule and NPV rule. (Hint: Draw the NPV profiles.) Group of answer choices A under IRR rule, and B under NPV rule B under IRR rule, and A under NPV rule A under both IRR and NPV rules Cannot be determined. B under both IRR and NPV rules

Both projects have an 11% cost of capital. 6. What is each project’s initial NPV without replication? 7. What is each project’s equivalent annual annuity? 8. Now apply the replacement chain approach to determine the shorter projects’ extended NPV. Which project should be chosen? 9. Now assume that the cost to replicate Project Y in 2 years will increase to $600,000 because of inflationary pressures. How should the analysis be handled now, and which project should be chosen?
