flows and risk of each project. Based on these estimates, we can evaluate each project and decide which set of projects are the best for Strident Marks to undertake. The primary decision methods used to evaluate the projects will be payback, net present value, and internal rate of return(Gallagher, 2003). The simplest capital budgeting method is the payback method. The analyst must calculate the number of years it will take to recoup the project's initial investment (Gallagher, 2003). This is done

issues associated with the proposal. 5- At the given price and terms, should the proposal accepted. Alternatives, if any. Discussion Determination of WACC: For the purpose of determination of cash flow’s present value, WACC is determined as 16%, as shown in the attached Exhibit B. Present value of cash flows:

A number of competing measures, each with claims to being the "best" approach to value creation, have been developed and marketed by investment banking firms and consulting firms.

(WACC) will be used as the discounting factor when taking into account the time value of money. Case Analysis As is the case with any decision that involves a material investment of capital in a business, the investment must be carefully analyzed to ensure that the benefits to be derived from such an investment exceed the expected expenses in running such an expense. Capital budgeting is the process of analyzing the value that any investment will yield to the company. One of the major reasons why capital

2.1.2 Discounted Cash Flow: Discounted cash flow methods are other popular types of capital budgeting besides the Net present value (NPV). Discounted cash flow (DCF) is a common valuation method to evaluate investment opportunities and includes two basic tecnhiques: internal rate of return (IRR) and Profitability index (PI)or benefit-cost ratio (Shapiro, 2005). Since this research focuses Profitability index for evaluating the investment opportunity, the following section would highlight on PI.

Champ Sport investment in alloy which will be used to produce and sell metal baseball bats. The calculations made in the appendix show that the investment made in alloy will generate the positive net present value of USD 1188 and the IRR of the investment is 32.78%. On the basis of net present value it will be feasible to invest in alloy and as IRR of the project is greater than its cost of capital so on the basis of IRR project is also feasible. Executive Summary Champ Sport is manufactures and

The case presents information sufficient to build cash flow forecasts for either investment alternative. The task for the students is to build a valuation model for the two capital investment alternatives, whereby they can evaluate the attractiveness of the investment based on net present value (NPV) and the internal rate of return (IRR) of the discounted cash flows (DCF). Further, the student will have

Managerial Analysis/BUSN 602 Capital asset pricing model or CAPM is a financial model that measures the risk premium inherent in equity investments like common stocks while Discounted Cash Flow or DCF compares the cost of an investment with the present value of future cash flows generated by the investment with the mindset being that if the cash flow is positive, then the investment is good. Generally speaking, CAPM is a model that describes the relationship between risk and expected return and DCF
