Chapter 10, Problem 10.1STP
All techniques with NPV profile: Mutually exclusive projects Fitch Industries is in the process of choosing the better of two equal-risk, mutually exclusive capital expenditure projects, M and N. The relevant cash flows for each project are shown in the following table The firm’s cost of capital is 9%.
| Project M | Project N | |
| Initial investment (CF0) | –$40,000 | –$40,000 |
| Year(t) | ||
| 1 | $14,000 | $23,000 |
| 2 | 14,000 | 12,000 |
| 3 | 14,000 | 10,000 |
| 4 | 14,000 | 9,000 |
- a. Calculate each project’s payback period.
- b. Calculate the
net present value (NPV) for each project. - c. Calculate the
internal rate of return (IRR) for each project. - d. Summarize the preferences dictated by each measure you calculated, and indicate which project you would recommend. Explain why.
- e. Draw the net present value profiles for these projects on the same set of axes, and explain the circumstances under which a conflict in ran kings might exist.

- 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?arrow_forwardCAPITAL BUDGETING CRITERIA: MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE PROJECTS Project S requires an initial outlay at t = 0 of 17,000, and its expected cash flows would be 5,000 per year for 5 years. Mutually exclusive Project L requires an initial outlay at t = 0 of 30,000, and its expected cash flows would be 8,750 per year for 5 years. If both projects have a WACC of 12%, which project would you recommend? Explain.arrow_forwardNet present value method, internal rate of return method, and analysis for a service company The management of Advanced Alternative Power Inc. is considering two capital investment projects. The estimated net cash flows from each project are as follows: The wind turbines require an investment of 887,600, while the biofuel equipment requires an investment of 911,100. No residual value is expected from either project. Instructions 1. Compute the following for each project: A. The net present value. Use a rate of 6% and the present value of an annuity table appearing in Exhibit 5 of this chapter. B. A present value index. (Round to two decimal places.) 2. Determine the internal rate of return for each project by (A) computing a present value factor for an annuity of 1 and (B) using the present value of an annuity of 1 table appearing in Exhibit 5 of this chapter. 3. What advantage does the internal rate of return method have over the net present value method in comparing projects?arrow_forward
- Capital rationing decision involving four proposals Kopecky Industries Inc. is considering allocating a limited amount of capital investment funds among four proposals. The amount of proposed investment, estimated income from operations, and net cash flow for each proposal are as follows: The company’s capital rationing policy requires a maximum cash payback period of three years. In addition, a minimum average rate of return of 12% is required on allprojects. 1f the preceding standards are met, the net present value method and presentvalue indexes are used to rank the remaining proposals. Instructions Compute the present value index for each oldie proposals in part (4). Round to two decimal places.arrow_forwardThe 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 .arrow_forward
