Chapter 10, Problem 10.23P

a)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The Net Present Value for every Project and its acceptability.

Introduction:

The difference over the present value of cash inflows and the present value of cash outflows over a particular period is known as the Net Present value.

b)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The Internal rate of return for each of the project.

c)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The Net Present Value profiles for each project.

Introduction:

The difference between the present value of cash inflows and the present value of cash outflows over a particular time is known as the Net Present value.

$\begin{array}{c}NPV=\frac{{\text{CF}}_1}{{\left(\text{1}+r\right)}^1}+\frac{{\text{CF}}_2}{{\left(1+r\right)}^2}+\frac{{\text{CF}}_3}{{\left(1+r\right)}^3}+\frac{{\text{CF}}_4}{{\left(1+r\right)}^4}-I0\\ \end{array}$

NPV profile is a graphical depiction of the NPV of a Project at different discount rates.

d)

Summary Introduction

To evaluate: The projects based on the NPV, IRR and NPV profile values.

Introduction:

The difference over the present value of cash inflows and the present value of cash outflows for a particular period is known as the Net Present value. Internal Rate of Return is a measure used in the capital budgeting which estimates the profitability of potential investments.

IRR is computed as a discount rate that makes the net present value of all cash flows from an investment as zero. NPV profile is a graphic representation of the NPV of a Project At different discount rates.

e)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The pattern of cash inflows to the projects.

Introduction:

The difference between the present value of cash inflows and the present value of cash outflows over a period of time is known as the Net Present value.
