b. Calculate the profitability index. Should the project be accepted?
c. Calculate the accounting rate of return. Should the project be accepted?
True or False
Assume that the riskfree rate of return is 5% p.a. and that an investment project costs $150,000 and is expected to generate a risky net cash flow next year of $180,000. The project is acceptable as its internal rate of return exceeds the riskfree rate of return.

- Calculate the cash flows for each year. Based on these cash flows and the average project cost of capital, what are the projects NPV, IRR, MIRR, PI, payback, and discounted payback? Do these indicators suggest that the project should be undertaken?arrow_forwardCAPITAL BUDGETING CRITERIA: MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE PROJECTS Project S requires an initial outlay at t = 0 of 17,000, and its expected cash flows would be 5,000 per year for 5 years. Mutually exclusive Project L requires an initial outlay at t = 0 of 30,000, and its expected cash flows would be 8,750 per year for 5 years.

Suppose you are evaluating a project with the expected future cash inflows shown in the following table. Your boss has asked you to calculate the project’s net present value (NPV). You don’t know the project’s initial cost, but you do know the project’s regular, or conventional, payback period is 2.50 years.

Consider this case: Suppose Happy Dog Soap Company is evaluating a proposed capital budgeting project (project Beta) that will require an initial investment of $3,000,000. The project is expected to generate the following net cash flows: Year Cash Flow Year 1 $300,000 Year 2 $400,000 Year 3 $400,000 Year 4 $500,000 Happy Dog Soap Company’s weighted average cost of capital is 7%, and project Beta has the same risk as the firm’s average project.
