Under what conditions might you find more thanone IRR for a project? How would you decidewhether or not to accept the project? If you werecomparing two mutually exclusive projects, onewith a single IRR of 12% and the other with two different IRRs of 10% and 15%, how should youchoose between the projects?

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?
The following information is available on two mutually exclusive projects. All numbers are in ‘000s. Project Year 0 Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Year 4 A $700 $300 $300 $400 $400 B $700 $600 $300 $200 $100 a: If the minimum acceptable rate of return is 10%, which project should be selected using the Net Present Value (NPV) method? Which project should be selected if the Internal Rate of Return (IRR) method is used? b: At what cross‐over rate would the firm be indifferent between the two projects? What is the NPV for both projects at the crossover rate? c: How much should cash flow in year 3 for project B increase or decrease in order for NPV(B) to be equal to NPV(A)?
a. Calculate the projects’ NPVs, IRRs, MIRRs, regular paybacks, and discounted paybacks.b. If the two projects are independent, which project(s) should be chosen?c.

The crossover rate is 13.5252%. Explain what this rate is and how it affects the choicebetween mutually exclusive projects.g. Is it possible for conflicts to exist between the NPV and the IRR when independentprojects are being evaluated? Explain your answer.h. Now look at the regular and discounted paybacks. Which project looks better whenjudged by the paybacks?i. If the payback was the only method a firm used to accept or reject projects, what paybackshould it…
You are considering the following two projects which are mutually exclusive. The required return on each project is 14%. Which project should you accept and what is the best reason for that decision? Year Project A Project B 0 $-46,000 $-46,000 1 $25,000 $11,000 2 $18,000 $19,000 3 $16,000 $32,000 a) Both Project A and B since they both have positive NPV b) Project A, because it has the higher profitability index c) Project A, because it has the higher net present value d) Project B, because it has the higher net present value
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.
