CAPITAL BUDGETING CRITERIA 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: REFER IMAGE a. Calculate the projects’ NPVs, IRRs, MIRRs, regular paybacks, and discounted paybacks.b. If the two projects are independent, which project(s) should be chosen?c. If the two projects are mutually exclusive and the WACC is 10%, which project(s) should be chosen?d. Plot NPV profiles for the two projects. Identify the projects’ IRRs on the graph.e. If the WACC was 5%, would this change your recommendation if the projects were mutually exclusive? If the WACC was 15%, would this change your recommendation? Explain your answers.f. The crossover rate is 13.5252%. Explain what this rate is and how it affects the choice between mutually exclusive projects.g. Is it possible for conflicts to exist between the NPV and the IRR when independent projects are being evaluated? Explain your answer.h. Now look at the…
A firm has the following investment alternatives (refer to image): Each investment costs $3,000; investments B and C are mutually exclusive, and the firm’s cost of capital is 8 percent. a.) If the firm’s cost of capital had been 10 percent, what would be investment A’s internal rate of return? b.) The payback method of capital budgeting selects which investment?Why?

  • CAPITAL BUDGETING CRITERIA A firm with a 14% WACC is evaluating two projects for this year’s capital budget. After-tax cash flows, including depreciation, are as follows:   Time                  0            1             2            3            4              5 Project A         -6,000   $2,000   $2,000   $2,000    $2,000     $2,000 Project B       -18,000   $5,600   $5,600    $5,600   $5,600      $5,600 a.Calculate NPV, IRR, MIRR, payback, and discounted payback for each project. b.Assuming the projects are independent, which one(s) would you recommend? c.If the projects are mutually exclusive, which would you recommend? d.Notice that the projects have the same cash flow timing pattern. Why is there a conflict between NPV and IRR? e.Which calculation would you recommend in your evaluation—NPV or IRR? Why?
    A firm has a capital budget of $100 which must be spent on one of twoprojects, each requiring a present outlay of $100. Project A yields a returnof $120 after one year, whereas Project B yields $201.14 after 5 years.Calculate:(i) the NPV of each project using a discount rate of 10%;(ii) the IRR of each project.What are the project rankings on the basis of these two investmentdecision rules? Suppose that you are told that the firm’s reinvestmentrate is 12%, which project should the firm choose?Answer:(i)NPV(A) = 9.09; NPV(B) = 24.89, B>A(ii) IRR(A) = 20%; IRR(B) = 15%, A>BUsing a reinvestment rate of 12% the terminal values are TV(A) = 188.82; TV(B) = 201.14,hence B>A. Alternatively calculate the IRR of (B-A): IRR(B-A) = 13.78% > 12%, henceundertake the “extra project” (B-A) ie. undertake B.
    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…
