Chapter 11, Problem 19SP
(Risk-adjusted NPV) The Hokie Corporation is considering two mutually exclusive projects. Both require an initial outlay of $10,000 and will operate for 5 years. Project A will produce expected cash flows of $5,000 per year for years 1 through 5, whereas project B will produce expected cash flows of $6,000 per year for years 1 through 5. Because project B is the riskier of the two projects, the management of Hokie Corporation has decided to apply a required

The management of SoComfy Hotel wishes to capitalize on an investment project that will cost the management to pay $85,000 as an initial cost. This project will take three years to finish with the net cash flows stream of $18,000 for the first year, $21,000 for the second year, and $22,500 for the third year. Should the management accept the project by analyzing the net present value (NPV) of the cash flow stream if they have 12.00% minimum required rate of return on the project?

World Trans. is considering two mutually exclusive projects. Both require an initial investment of $9,200 at t = 0. Project X has an expected life of 2 years with after-tax cash inflows of $7,000 and $7,800 at the end of Years 1 and 2, respectively. In addition, Project X can be repeated at the end of Year 2 with no changes in its cash flows. Project Y has an expected life of 4 years with after-tax cash inflows of $5,000 at the end of each of the next 4 years. Each project has a WACC of 8%. Using the replacement chain approach, what is the NPV of the most profitable project? Do not round the intermediate calculations and round the final answer to the nearest whole number.
