- Consider the following projects, X and Y where the firm can only choose one. Project X costs $1500 and has cash flows of $678, $652, $347, $111, $54, $16 in each of the next 6 years. Project Y also costs $1500, and generates cash flows of $738, $693, $405 for the next 3 years, respectively. WACC=11%. If the WACC were 5 percent, would this change your recommendation if the projects were mutually exclusive? If the WACC were 15 percent, would this change your recommendation? Explain your answers.The Webex Corporation is trying to choose between the following two mutually exclusive designprojects: Year Net Cash Flow Project - I($) Net Cash Flow Project - II($) 0 (53,000) (16,000) 1 27000 9100 2 27000 9100 3 27000 9100 (a) If the required return is 10% and the company applies the Profitability Index decision rule,which project should the firm accept?(b) If the company applies the Net Present Value decision rule, which project should it take?(c) Explain why your answers in (a) and (b) are different(d) Calculate the Internal Rate of Return of both projects.A firm whose cost of capital is 10% is considering two mutually exclusive projects X and Y, the details of which are: Year Project X Project Y Cost X 70 000 Y 70 000 Cash inflows 1 10 000 50 000 2 20 000 40 000 3 30 000 20 000 4 45 000 10 000 5 60 000 10 000 Calculate the following: Net Present Value at 10% for both projects Profitability Index for both projects Internal Rate of Return of the two project
- Hampton Manufacturing estimates that its WACC is 12.5%.The company is considering the following 7 investment projects: a. Assume that each of these projects is independent and that each is just as risky as thefirm’s existing assets. Which set of projects should be accepted, and what is the firm’soptimal capital budget?b. Now assume that Projects C and D are mutually exclusive. Project D has an NPV of$400,000, whereas Project C has an NPV of $350,000. Which set of projects should beaccepted, and what is the firm’s optimal capital budget?c. Ignore part b and assume that each of the projects is independent but that managementdecides to incorporate project risk differentials. Management judges Projects B,C, D, and E to have average risk, Project A to have high risk, and Projects F and G tohave low risk. The company adds 2% to the WACC of those projects that are significantlymore risky than average, and it subtracts 2% from the WACC of those projectsthat are substantially less risky than…Your division is considering two projects. Its WACC is 10%, and the projects’ after-tax cash flows (in millions of dollars) would be as follows: 0 1 2 3 4 Project A -$30 $5 $10 $15 $20 Project B -$30 $20 $10 $8 $6 Calculate the projects’ NPVs, IRRs, MIRRs, regular paybacks, and discounted paybacks. If the two projects are independent, which project(s) should be chosen? If the two projects are mutually exclusive and the WACC is 10%, which project(s) should be chosen? Plot NPV profiles for the two projects. Identify the projects’ IRRs on the graph. If the WACC was 5%, would this change your recommendation if the projects were mutually exclusive?
