Chapter 9, Problem 6CRCT
a. Describe how NPV is calculated, and describe the information this measure provides about a sequence of cash flows. What is the NPV criterion decision rule?
b. Why is NPV considered a superior method of evaluating the cash flows from a project? Suppose the NPV for a project’s cash flows is computed to be $2,500. What does this number represent with respect to the firm’s shareholders?

H5.
Discuss the following statement: If a firm has only independent projects, a constant WACC, and projects with normal cash flows, the NPV and IRR methods will always lead to identical capital budgeting decisions. What does this imply about the choice between IRR and NPV? If each of the assumptions were changed (one by one), how would your answer change?
Explain with details
Mo5.
can you please help me answer the question below, thank you In an NPV calculation, if the net present value of the future cash flows from an investment are less than the invested capital, it is an investment the firm should not make.
A company is analyzing two mutually exclusive projects, S and L, with thefollowing cash flows:
The company’s WACC is 8.5%. What is the IRR of the better project? (Hint: The better projectmay or may not be the one with the higher IRR.)

- 1. 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_forward8) 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.

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.arrow_forward
- 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_forwardQ15. 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 Valuearrow_forward5. Which of the following should be considered when a company estimates the cash flows used to analyze a proposed project? a. The company has spent and expensed $1 million on R&D associated with the new project b. The firm would borrow all the money used to finance the new project, and the interest on this debt would be $1.5 million per year c. The new project is expected to reduce sales of one of the company's existing products by 5%arrow_forward

How do you know? “If a firm uses a single cutoff period for all projects, it is likely to accept too many short-lived projects.” Is this statement true or false? How do you know? If the firm uses the discounted-payback rule, will it accept any negative NPV projects? Will it turn down any positive NPV projects? How do you know?

What makes the project unusual is the stream of cash inflows and outflows shown in the following table: a. Calculate the investment’s net present value at each of the following discount rates: 0%, 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 30%, 35%. b. What does your answer to part b tell you about this project’s IRR? c. Should Froogle invest in this project if its cost of capital is 5%? What if the cost of capital is 15%? d. In general, when faced with a project like this, how should a firm decide whether to invest in the project or reject it?arrow_forward
- 6.Calculate the project's Modified Internal Rate of Return (MIRR). 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 !!!

The IBC Company is considering undertaking an investment that promises to have the following cash flows Period 0 is = -$100 Period 1 is= $150 Period 2 is = $50 Period 3 is = $50 If it waits a year, it can invest in an alternative (that is, mutually exclusive) investment that promises to pay Period 1 Period 2 Period 3 −$150 $250 $50 Assume a time value of money of 0.05. Which investment should the firm undertake? Use the present value method and the internal rate of return approaches. With the IRR approach, use the incremental cash flows.arrow_forwardFinance A firm is considering two mutually exclusive projects, X and Y, with the following cash flows: 0 1 2 3 4 Project X -$1,000 $110 $280 $430 $750 Project Y -$1,000 $900 $110 $55 $50 The projects are equally risky, and their WACC is 9%.
