To determine
Concept introduction:
Payback Period: Payback period is the period in which the project recovers its initial cost of the investment. It can be calculated by dividing the initial investment by the annual cash inflow from the project.
NPV: Net present value (NPV) is the method to evaluate the project feasibility. This method calculates the present value of cash inflows and outflows, and then calculates the net present value of the investment. A project should be accepted if it has a positive NPV. The formula to calculate the NPV is as follows:
Requirement 2:
To indicate:
The possible reason for choosing investment B over A.

Consider these two alternatives. Solve, a. Suppose that the capital investment of Alternative 1 is known with certainty. By how much would the estimate of capital investment for Alternative 2 have to vary so that the initial decision based on these data would be reversed? The annual MARR is 15% per year. b. Determine the life of Alternative 1 for which the AWs are equal.
The Billy Joe Company has a choice of two different investments that it can make today. The alternatives are:
What is the Internal Rate of Return for each of the two investments?
An investment firm is considering two alternative investments, A and B, under two possible future sets of economic conditions, good and poor. There is a .60 probability of good economic conditions occurring and a .40 probability of poor economic conditions occurring. The expected gains and losses under each economic type of conditions are shown in the following table: Economic Conditions Investment Good Poor A $900,000 –$800,000 B 120,000 70,000 Using the expected value of each investment alternative, determine which should be selected.

- Which of the following is a true statement regarding the future worth of a single investment alternative? (a) It will be equal to both the present worth and the annual worth if the same discounting interest rate is used. (b) Choose to invest if the calculated amount is less than zero at the investment rate of return. (c) It will yield a recommendation consistent with the present worth and annual worth methods if the same discounting interest rate is used.(d) It cannot be used to evaluate single investment alternatives.arrow_forwardInvestment A has a 8.25% internal rate of return and Investment B has a 10.0% internal rate of return. The two investments are mutually exclusive. If the required return is 6.50%, which of the following is a true statement? a) Investment A should be chosen over Investment B. b) Both Investment A and Investment B should be chosen. c) Investment B should be chosen over Investment A. d) It is not possible to know which of the two investments is best with the given information.arrow_forwardThe Billy Joe Company has a choice of two different investments that it can make today.

- Two investors participate in an investment project and, after an analysis economic, the following results were obtained: • Investor A. TMAR: 13.45; NPV: 570,000. • Investor B. TMAR: 13:00; NPV: −2450. Explain the value of the results of investor B based on the recovery of your investment, profits and your minimum acceptable rate of return.arrow_forwardIdentify the one true statement. a. Compare investment alternatives over a common planning horizon. b. Investment alternatives with unequal planning horizons cannot be compared. c. When the useful lives are not equal, use 10 years as the common time period. d. When the useful lives are not equal, use infinity as the common time period.arrow_forward4. Middleton Classics would like to test the sensitivity of the estimates used for the input data to compute the net present value and internal rate of return on this investment. Ignore the payback period and the accounting rate of return. Consider a, b, and c below independently by holding everything else constant: a. What is the minimum cost of the investment (to the nearest $100) needed for the owner to accept it? b. Reset cost to $500,000. What is the minimum salvage value (to the nearest $100) needed for the owner to accept it? c.Reset salvage value to $25,000. What is the minimum annual cash flow (to the nearest $100) needed for the owner to accept it? How sensitive to changes in the input data is the decision to accept or reject this investment? Do you have to change the estimates a lot or just a little to make the investment acceptable? Comment on the results of each of these analyses.arrow_forward
- A company is considering two alternative investment projects both of which have a positive net present value. The projects have been ranked on the basis of both net present value (NPV) and internal rate of return (IRR). The result of the ranking is shown below: Project A Project B NPV 1st 2nd IRR 2nd 1st Discuss any four (4) potential reasons why the conflict between the NPV and IRR ranking may have arisen B. Kumi Ltd is considering an investment in a project, which requires immediate payment of GHS15,000, followed by a further investment of GHS5,400 at the end of the first year. The subsequent return phase net cash inflows are expected to arise at the end of the following years: Year 1 2 3 4 5 Cash inflow (GHS) 6,500 7,750 5,750 4,750 3,750 You are required to estimate the internal rate of return of this project assuming the company’s cost of capital of 16%.arrow_forwardFollowing is information on two alternative investments being considered by Jolee Company. The company requires a 10% return from its investments. For each alternative project, compute the (a) net present value and (b) profitability index.

If the company can only select one project, which should it choose?arrow_forwardBarnard Manufacturing is considering three capital investment proposals. At this time, Barnard only has funds available to pursue one of the three investments. |(Click the icon to review the proposals.) Which investment should Barnard pursue at this time? Why? Since each investment requires a different initial investment and presents a positive NPV, Barnard Manufacturing should use the profitability index to compare the profitability of each investment. Select the labels for the evaluation measure you determined above. Enter the amounts into the formula, beginning with Equipment A, and calculate the amount you will use to evaluate each investment. (Enter all amounts as positive numbers.

- Following is information on two alternative investments being considered by Tiger Co. The company requires a 4% return from its investments. Compute each project’s (a) net present value and (b) profitability index. (Round present value calculations to the nearest dollar and round the profitability index to two decimal places.) If the company can choose only one project, which should it choose?arrow_forwardAn investor is consider four different opportunities, A, B, C, or D. The payoff for each opportunity will depend on the economic conditions, represented in the payoff table below. Economic Condition Investment Poor Average Good Excellent (S1) (S2) (S3) (S4) A 50 75 20 30 B 80 15 40 50 C -100 300 -50 10 D 25 25 25 25 What decision would be made under minimax regret?arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements is correct? a. Since investors prefer more return and less risk, one will never hold a dominated asset in the risk-return sense. In other words, if asset A has a higher expected return and lower standard-deviation than asset B, then investors would only hold asset A in their optimal portfolio. b. The IRR method correctly ranks mutually exclusive projects. c. When an investment project is evaluated today, the spending that occurred in the last year has to be included in the NPV analysis. d. The payback period criterion properly considers the time value of money. e. When there are two mutually exclusive projects, the project with the highest NPV should be chosen.arrow_forward
