Your firm is considering choosing either Project X or Project Y with the following cash flows:
Year: 0. 1 2 3 4
Project X -$150,000 $75,000. $65,000 55,000 $45,000
Project Y -$180,000 $90,000. $70,000 $70,000 $50,000
Between a discount rate of ______ and ______ you can be sure your firm should prefer Project Y to Project X.
a. 0%; 14.16%
b. 0%; 10.25%
c.14.16%; 24.26%
d10.25; 22.63%
e. 0%; 25%

For the given cash flows, suppose the firm uses the NPV decision rule. Year Cash Flow 0 −$ 149,000 1 67,000 2 72,000 3 56,000 At a required return of 8 percent, what is the NPV of the project? Note: Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16. At a required return of 21 percent, what is the NPV of the project? Note: A negative answer should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.
17. Consider the following two mutually exclusive projects:
Year Cash Flow (A) Cash Flow (B)0 −$291,000 −$41,6001 37,000 20,0002 55,000 17,6003 55,000 17,2004 366,000 14,000
a) What is the Internal Rate of Return (IRR) for each of these projects? b) Using the IRR decision rule, which project should the company accept? c) If the required return is 11 percent, what is the Net Present Value (NV) for each of these projects? d) Using the NPV decision rule, which project should the company accept? e) Why do you think the NPV and IRR rules do not agree on same project approval/rejection direction?

- 8) Modern Refurbishing Inc. is considering a project that has the following cash flow data. What is the project's IRR? Note that a project's IRR can be less than the cost of capital (and even negative), in which case it will be rejected.

The cash flow of this project is as follows: Year Cash Flow0 -$100,0001 45,0002 52,0003 43,000 Suppose you use the NPV decision rule. At a required rate of 11 percent, should you accept this project? Group of answer choices Accept it because NPV is $14,186.14 Accept it because NPV is $12,186.14 Reject it because NPV is -$14,186.14 Do not know because we cannot figure out NPV with the conditions given.arrow_forwardReconsider Example 11.6, where the expected cash flows for the Capstone project arePeriod 0 1 2 3 4 5Cash Flow -$55,000 $17,094 $20,439 $20,069 $20,212 $29,660Suppose that Capstone consider the MicroCHP project to be just one of their normal risky projects. Then the appropriate discount rate to use is 15%. However, Capstone considers the MicroCHP project to be much riskier than normal projects, so it believes an additional risk premium of 6.93% should be added. If management has decided to use a risk-adjusted discount rate of 21.93% to compensate for the uncertainty of the cash flows, is this project acceptable?arrow_forward
- 11. b A firm is considering the following projects. Its opportunity cost of capital is 10%.

If you use a cutoff period of 3 years with the discounted payback rule, which projects would you accept? d. Which projects have positive NPVs? e. "Payback gives too much weight to cash flows that occur after the cutoff date." True or false?arrow_forward. Hamstring Inc. is considering a project with the following cash flows: C0 C1 C2 C3 C4 ($25,000) $10,000 $12,000 $5,000 $8,000 The company is reluctant to consider projects with paybacks of more than three years. If projects pass the payback screen, they are considered further by means of the NPV and IRR methods. The firm's cost of capital is 9%. What is the project's payback period? Should the project be considered further? What is the project's NPV? Does NPV indicate acceptance on a stand-alone basis? Calculate the project's IRR using an iterative approach. Start with the cost of capital and the NPV calculation from part (b). Does IRR indicate acceptance on a stand-alone basis? What is the project's PI? Does PI indicate acceptance on a stand-alone basis?arrow_forward7) Consider the following project: Year Cash Flow 0 – $ 3,024 1 17,172 2 – 36,420 3 34,200 4 – 12,000 Year Cash Flow 0 -3,024 1 17,172 2 -36,420 3 34,200 4 -12,000 a) Determine the IRR (s) for this project.

- Do solve all the parts Consider a project with next-period free cash flows of $83,000 in a downturn or $121,000 in an upturn. The likelihood of the upturn is 45%. The project requires a capital outlay of $40,000, its cost of capital is 11% and the risk-free interest rate is 5%. (i)What is the NPV for this project? (ii) The firm undertaking the project decides to fully cover the outlay via borrowing at the risk-free rate. What is the cash flow the equity holders will receive in one year in each state? What is the cost of capital and the value of the firm's levered equity from the project?arrow_forward1. Two projects being considered by a firm are independent and have the following projected cash flows: Project A Project B ($100,000) ($100,00) 50,000 50,000 50,000 Year 0 1 2 3 0 200,000 If the cost of the capital is 9%, which project(s) should be accepted? о Neither of them 0 Project A, because it has a shorter payback period. Both should be accepted because both projects have positive NPVs Project B, because it has a higher IRR.arrow_forwardYou are considering an investment opportunity that requires an initial investment of $150 million in period 0. The project will generate only one future payment of $168 million at the end of the first year. The cost of capital is 8% . What is the IRR for the project?
