A company is thinking of investing in one of two potential new products for sale. The projections are as follows:
Year Revenue/cost £ (Product A) Revenue/cost £ (Product B)0 (150,000) outlay (150,000) outlay 1 24,000 12,0002 24,000 25,3333 44,000 52,0004 84,000 63,333
1.Calculate the payback period for both products in years and months, not as a decimal. Please present answer to nearest half a month.
Calculating Payback Period and NPV Novell, Inc., has the following mutually exclusive projects.
Year Project A Project B
0 -$15,000 -$19,000
1 10,400 12,700
2 5,900 6, 100
3 2,100 5, 300
Suppose the company’s payback period cutoff is two years. Which of these two projects should be chosen?
Suppose the company uses the NPV rule to rank these two projects. Which project should be chosen if the appropriate discount rate is 15 percent?
Cooney Co. is evaluating the following mutually exclusive projects. The manager has determined that the appropriate discount rate is 6.2% for all the recommended projects. Rank order the projects based on the profitability index.
