A company is considering two mutually exclusive expansion plans. Plan A requires a $39 million initial outlay on a large-scale integrated plant that would provide expected cash flows of $6.23 million per year for 20 years. Plan B requires a $13 million initial outlay to build a somewhat less efficient, more labor-intensive plant with expected cash flows of $2.91 million per year for 20 years. The firm's WACC is 10%. a a. Calculate each project's NPV, Enter your answers in millions. For example, an answer of $10,550,000 should be entered as 10.55. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to two decimal places Plan A: million Plan B: $ $ million Calculate each project's IRR. Round your answers to one decimal place. Plan A: Plan B: % % b. By graphing the NPV profiles for Plan A and Plan B, determine the crossover rate. Approximate your answer to the nearest whole number. % c.
