Suppose your firm is considering investing in a project with the cash flows shown as follows, that the required rate of return on projects of this risk class is 12 percent, and that the maximum allowable payback and discounted payback statistic for the project are two and two and a half years, respectively. $\begin{array} { | l | c | c | c | c | c | c | } \hline \text { Time } & 0 & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 5 \\\hline \text { Cash Flow } & - 125,000 & 65,000 & 78,000 & 105,000 & 105,000 & 25,000 \\\hline\end{array}$

Question 43

A company is considering two mutually exclusive projects, A and B Project A requires an initial investment of $200, followed by cash flows of $185, $40, and $15. Project B requires an initial investment of $200, followed by cash flows of $0, $50, and $230. What is the IRR of the project that is best for the company's shareholders? The firm's cost of capital is 10 percent.

Suppose your firm is considering investing in a project with the cash flows shown as follows, that the required rate of return on projects of this risk class is 10 percent, and that the maximum allowable payback and discounted payback statistics for the project are three and a half and four and a half years, respectively. Use the NPV decision to evaluate this project; should it be accepted or rejected? $\begin{array} { l c c c c c c c c } \text { Time } & 0 & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 5 & 6 & 5 \\\text { Cash Flow } & - \$ 85,000 & \$ 12,000 & \$ 11,000 & \$ 13,000 & \$ 21,000 & \$ 31,000 & \$ 32,000 &\end{array}$

Compute the NPV for Project X with the cash flows shown as follows if the appropriate cost of capital is 9 percent. $\begin{array} { | l | c | c | c | c | c | c | } \hline \text { Time: } & 0 & \mathbf { 1 } & \mathbf { 2 } & \mathbf { 3 } & \mathbf { 4 } & \mathbf { 5 } \\\hline \text { Cash flow: } & - \mathbf { 1 , 0 0 0 } & - \mathbf { 7 5 } & \mathbf { 1 0 0 } & \mathbf { 1 0 0 } & 0 & 2,000 \\\hline\end{array}$

Suppose your firm is considering two mutually exclusive, required projects with the cash flows shown as follows. The required rate of return on projects of both of their risk class is 8 percent, and the maximum allowable payback and discounted payback statistic for the projects are two and three years, respectively. $\begin{array} { | l | c | c | c | c | } \hline \text { Time } & 0 & 1 & 2 & 3 \\\hline \text { Project A Cash Flow } & - 20,000 & 10,000 & 30,000 & 1,000 \\\text { Project B Cash Flow } & - 30,000 & 10,000 & 20,000 & 50,000 \\\hline\end{array}$ Use the NPV decision rule to evaluate these projects; which one(s) should be accepted or rejected?

Compute the discounted payback statistic for Project X and recommend whether the firm should accept or reject the project with the cash flows shown as follows if the appropriate cost of capital is 10 percent and the maximum allowable discounted payback is three years. $\begin{array} { | l | c | c | c | c | c | c | } \hline \text { Time: } & 0 & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 5 \\\hline \text { Cash flow: } & - 1,000 & 500 & 480 & 400 & 300 & 150 \\\hline\end{array}$

Compute the MIRR statistic for Project J and advise whether to accept or reject the project with the cash flows shown as follows if the appropriate cost of capital is 10 percent. $\begin{array} { l c c c c c c } \text { Time } & 0 & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 5 \\\text { Cash Flow } & - \$ 1,000 & \$ 300 & \$ 1,480 & - \$ 500 & \$ 300 & - \$ 100 \\\hline\end{array}$

All of the following are strengths of payback EXCEPT:

Projects A and B are mutually exclusive. Project A costs $20,000 and is expected to generate cash inflows of $7,500 for 4 years. Project B costs $10,000 and is expected to generate a single cash flow in year 4 of $20,000. The cost of capital is 12%. Which project would you accept and why?

Compute the payback statistic for Project X and recommend whether the firm should accept or reject the project with the cash flows shown as follows if the appropriate cost of capital is 10 percent and the maximum allowable payback is five years. $\begin{array} { | l | c | c | c | c | c | c | } \hline \text { Time: } & 0 & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 5 \\\hline \text { Cash flow: } & - 75 & - 75 & 0 & 100 & 75 & 50 \\\hline\end{array}$

Suppose your firm is considering investing in a project with the cash flows shown as follows, that the required rate of return on projects of this risk class is 8 percent, and that the maximum allowable payback and discounted payback statistic for the project are three and three and a half years, respectively. $\begin{array} { | l | c | c | c | c | c | c | } \hline \text { Time } & 0 & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 5 \\\hline \text { Cash Flow } & - 100,000 & 30,000 & 45,000 & 55,000 & 30,000 & 10,000 \\\hline\end{array}$

Suppose your firm is considering two mutually exclusive, required projects with the cash flows shown as follows. The required rate of return on projects of both of their risk class is 8 percent, and the maximum allowable payback and discounted payback statistic for the projects are two and three years, respectively. $\begin{array} { | l | c | c | c | c | } \hline \text { Time } & 0 & 1 & 2 & 3 \\\hline \text { Project A Cash Flow } & - 20,000 & 10,000 & 30,000 & 1,000 \\\text { Project B Cash Flow } & - 30,000 & 10,000 & 20,000 & 50,000 \\\hline\end{array}$

Which rate-based decision statistic measures the excess return (the amount above and beyond the cost of capital for a project) , rather than the gross return?

We accept projects with a positive NPV because it means that:

Which of the following tools is suitable for choosing between mutually exclusive projects?

The MIRR statistic is different from the IRR statistic in that:

How many possible IRRs could you find for the following set of cash flows? $\begin{array} { l c c c c c } \text { Time } & 0 & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 \\\text { Cash Flow } & - \$ 10,000 & \$ 5,350 & \$ 4,180 & \$ 1,520 & \$ 2,000\end{array}$

A project's IRR is the interest rate that:

All of the following capital budgeting tools are suitable for non-normal cash flows EXCEPT:
