Suppose we have four mutually exclusive projects, D1, D2, D3, and D4, whose internal rates of return on incremental investment between the projects is given as follows:IRR (Dl - D2) = 27.62%IRR {Dl - D3) = 14.26%IRR {Dl - D4) = 25.24%IRR (D3 - D2) = 30.24%IRR (D2- D4) = 17.34%IRR (D3 - D4) = 16.14%Which project should be selected at MARR 15%?
Consider two investments A and B with the sequences of cash flows given in the table below.
A) If A and B are mutually exclusive? projects, which project would you select based on the rate of return on incremental investment at
MARRequals=6?%?
The rate of return on the incremental investment is ?
CT Corp. is considering two mutually exclusive projects. Both require an initial investment of P120,000 at t = 0. Project X has an expected life of 2 years with after-tax cash inflows of P67,000 and P75,000 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 P38,500 at the end of each of the next 4 years. Each project has a WACC of 8%.
Listed below are the requirements for this data set:
Using the replacement chain approach, how much is the NPV of Project X? (Round the final answer to the nearest peso. Use the "NPV formula" in excel for exact computation. Otherwise, answer based on rounded pv factors will also be accepted.)
Which of the two projects will be more profitable considering the replacement chain approach on the NPV of Project X?
Using the equivalent annuity approach, what is the equivalent annuity of Project Y?…

Two installations are being considered to provide for water storage in a chemical plant. A tank on a tower or a tank of equal capacity placed on a hill some distance from the plant. The cost of installing the tank and tower is estimated at P350,000. The cost of installing the tank on the hill, including the extra length of service lines, is estimated at P300,000. The hill installation will require an additional investment of P30,000 in pumping equipment whose life is estimated to be 15 years with a salvage value of P2,500. The life of the two installations is estimated to be 30 years. Annual cost of labor, electricity, and maintenance incident to the pumping equipment is estimated at P3,000.
