Working with your assigned group, please determine your answer to the questions below. We will discuss your group's responses during the live session this week. Consider the following two mutually exclusive projects: Year Cash Flow ($) - A Cash Flow ($) - B 0 -4,55,000 -65,000 1 58,000 31,000 2 85,000 28,000 3 85,000 25,500 4 5,72,000 19,000 Whichever project you choose, if any, you require a return of 11% on your investment. If you apply the payback criterion, which investment will you choose? If you apply the discounted payback criterion, which investment will you choose? If you apply the NPV criterion, which investment will you choose? If you apply the IRR criterion, which investment will you choose? If you apply the profitability index criterion, which investment will you choose? Based on your answers, which project will you finally choose?

The investment committee of Sentry Insurance Co. is evaluating two projects, office expansion and upgrade to computer servers. The projects have different useful lives, but each requires an investment of $490,000. The estimated net cash flows from each project are as follows: Net Cash Flows Year Office Expansion Servers 1 $125,000 $165,000 2 125,000 165,000 3 125,000 165,000 4 125,000 165,000 5 125,000 6 125,000 The committee has selected a rate of 12% for purposes of net present value analysis. It also estimates that the residual value at the end of each project's useful life is $0, but at the end of the fourth year, the office expansion's residual value would be $180,000.
