Q15. Which of the following is NOT potentially problematic for Internal Rate of Return (IRR)?
Group of answer choices
1. IRR cannot cope with multiple future cash flows
2. It is assumed that intermediate cash flow can be reinvested at the same rate as the project IRR
3. IRR may produce nonsense answers when there is unconventional cash flow with more than one change of sign'.
4. When comparing 2 projects with very different sensitivity to the assumed discount rate, IRR may conflict with Net Present Value
Q1) How much is the Profitability Index?
Q2) What is the Discounted Payback period of the project?
Q3) What is the NPV of the Project?
Net Present Value Suppose a project has conventional cash flows and a positive NPV. What do you know about its payback? Its discounted payback? Its profitability index? Its IRR? Explain.

- Reconsider 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_forwardQ. A positive NPV forecast for a new project is reliable only if it is based on Multiple Choices: - forecasts of cash flows. - identifiable sources of economic rents. - Michael Porter's theories. - results from Monte Carlo analysis.arrow_forward1.

What critical assumption does the MIRR make that differentiates it from the IRR? TIP : look for the definition of Modified Internal Rate of Return, and then do it in excel, easy !!!

- Basic NPV methods tell us that the value of a project today is NPV0. Time value of money issues also lead us to believe that if we choose not to do the project that it will be worth NPV1 one period from now, such that NPV0 > NPV1. Why then do we see some firms choosing to defer taking on a project?arrow_forward11. Which one of the following statements is most CORRECT? a. Real options change the risk, but not the size, of projects' expected NPVs. b. Very few projects have real options. They are theoretically interesting but of little practical importance. c. Real options are more valuable when there is very little uncertainty about the true values of future sales and costs. d. Real options change the size, but not the risk, of projects' expected NPVs. e. Real options can reduce the cost of capital that should be used to discount a project's expected cash flows.arrow_forwardq8. What are the acceptance criteria for IRR and NPV? What weaknesses are commonly associated with the use of the payback period to evaluate a proposed investment? Explain all the weaknesses. You should provide a detailed explanation for this question.arrow_forward
- 13 1. Portfolio RiskEach of two independent projects has a probability 0.98 of a loss of $1 million, 0.01probability of a loss of $10 million and 0.01 probability of a loss of $20 million(1) What is the 97% VaR for each project? (2) What is the 97% expected shortfall for each project? (3) What is the 97% VaR for the portfolio (two projects)? (4) What is the 97% expected shortfall for the portfolio?arrow_forwardQuestion 5: Find the net present value, interpret whether the NPV suggests you should accept or reject the project, find the payback period, find the discounted payback period, find the profitability index, interpret whether the profitability index suggests you should accept or reject the project, find the internal rate of return, explain whether the internal rate of return can repay the cost of borrowing money to conduct the project, find the modified internal rate of return, and explain with the modified internal rate of return can repay the cost of borrowing money to conduct the project. All for the following situation: The initial capital outlay is $175,000, the first-year annual operating cash flow is projected to be 20,000 but should grow by 5% per year during each of the project's 30 years, the after-tax-salvage cash flow is guessed to be $500,000, the required rate of return on this project is 15.50% and the company weighted average cost of capital is 12.50%.arrow_forwardYour firm is considering what has been estimated to be a positive NPV project (NPV > 0).
