Chapter 10, Problem 23SP
Start with the partial model in the file Ch10 P23 Build a Model.xlsx on the textbook’s Web site. Gardial Fisheries is considering two mutually exclusive investments. The projects’ expected net cash flows are as follows:
- a. If each project’s cost of capital is 12%, which project should be selected? If the cost of capital is 18%, what project is the proper choice?
- b. Construct
NPV profiles for Projects A and B. - c. What is each project’s
IRR ? - d. What is the crossover rate, and what is its significance?
- e. What is each project’s MIRR at a cost of capital of 12%? At r = 18%? (Hint: Consider Period 7 as the end of Project B’s life.)
- f. What is the regular payback period for these two projects?
- g. At a cost of capital of 12%, what is the discounted payback period for these two projects?
- h. What is the profitability index for each project if the cost of capital is 12%?

Use your findings in part a to draw the security market line (required rate of return relative to nondiversifiable risk) Discuss the relative nondiversifiable risk of projects A through E. Assume that recent economic events have caused investors to become less risk-averse, causing the market return to decline to 12%.
