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?

Buena Vision Clinic is considering an investment that requires an outlay of 600,000 and promises a net cash inflow one year from now of 810,000. Assume the cost of capital is 10 percent. Required: 1. Break the 810,000 future cash inflow into three components: a. The return of the original investment b. The cost of capital c. The profit earned on the investment 2. Now, compute the present value of the profit earned on the investment. 3. Compute the NPV of the investment. Compare this with the present value of the profit computed in Requirement 2. What does this tell you about the meaning of NPV?
Fenton, Inc., has established a new strategic plan that calls for new capital investment. The company has a 9.8% required rate of return and an 8.3% cost of capital. Fenton currently has a return of 10% on its other investments. The proposed new investments have equal annual cash inflows expected. Management used a screening procedure of calculating a payback period for potential investments and annual cash flows, and the IRR for the 7 possible investments are displayed in image. Each investment has a 6-year expected useful life and no salvage value. A. Identify which project(s) is/are unacceptable and briefly state the conceptual justification as to why each of your choices is unacceptable. B. Assume Fenton has $330,000 available to spend. Which remaining projects should Fenton invest in and in what order? C. If Fenton was not limited to a spending amount, should they invest in all of the projects given the company is evaluated using return on investment?

The Pinkerton Publishing Company is considering two mutually exclusive expansion plans. Plan A calls for the expenditure of 50 million on a large-scale, integrated plant that will provide an expected cash flow stream of 8 million per year for 20 years. Plan B calls for the expenditure of 15 million to build a somewhat less efficient, more labor-intensive plant that has an expected cash flow stream of 3.4 million per year for 20 years. The firms cost of capital is 10%. a. Calculate each projects NPV and IRR. b. Set up a Project by showing the cash flows that will exist if the firm goes with the large plant rather than the smaller plant. What are the NPV and the IRR for this Project ? c. Graph the NPV profiles for Plan A, Plan B, and Project .
