Question: 1. Consider the following information: Cash Flows ($) Project C 0 C 1 C 2 C 3 C 4 A 5,000 1,000 1,000 3,000 0

1. Consider the following information:

Cash Flows ($)
Project C0 C1 C2 C3 C4
A 5,000 1,000 1,000 3,000 0
B 1,000 0 1,000 2,000 3,000
C 5,000 1,000 1,000 3,000 5,000

a.What is the payback period on each of the above projects?

b.Given that you wish to use the payback rule with a cutoff period of two years, which projects would you accept?

Project A and Project B
Project A, Project B, and Project C
Project B
Project B and Project C
Project C
Project A
Project A and Project C

c.If you use a cutoff period of three years, which projects would you accept?

Project A and Project B
Project C
Project A
Project A and Project C
Project A, Project B, and Project C
Project B and Project C
Project B

d.If the opportunity cost of capital is 10%, which projects have positive NPVs?

Project A and Project B
Project A

Project B

2.

You have the chance to participate in a project that produces the following cash flows:

Cash Flows ($)
C0 C1 C2
5,000 4,000 11,000

a.The internal rate of return is 13.6%. If the opportunity cost of capital is 10%, what is the NPV of the project?(A negative answer should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)

3.

Consider the following projects:

Cash Flows ($)
Project C0 C1 C2 C3 C4 C5
A -1,000 1,000 0 0 0 0
B -2,000 1,000 1,000 4,000 1,000 1,000
C -3,000 1,000 1,000 0 1,000 1,000

a.If the opportunity cost of capital is 10%, which project(s) have a positive NPV?

Positive NPV project(s)

Project A
Project B
Project C
Projects A and B
Projects A and C
Projects B and C
Projects A, B, and C
No project

b.Calculate the payback period for each project:(Round your answers to the nearest whole number. If a project never pays back, enter "0".)

Project A year(s)
Project B year(s)
Project C year(s)

c.Which project(s) would a firm using the payback rule accept if the cutoff period were three years?

Project(s) accepted

d.Calculate the discounted payback for each project.(Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to 2 decimal places. If a project never pays back, enter "0".)

Project A year(s)
Project B year(s)
Project C year(s)

e.Which project(s) would a firm using the discounted payback rule accept if the cutoff period were three years?

Project(s) accepted
