Question: A. Project S requires an initial outlay at t = 0 of $10,000, and its expected cash flows would be $4,000 per year for 5
A. Project S requires an initial outlay at t = 0 of $10,000, and its expected cash flows would be $4,000 per year for 5 years. Mutually exclusive Project L requires an initial outlay at t = 0 of $47,000, and its expected cash flows would be $11,350 per year for 5 years. If both projects have a WACC of 15%, which project would you recommend?
Select the correct answer below.
| | a. Project L, because the NPVL > NPVS. | | |
| | b. Project S, because the NPVS > NPVL. | | |
| | c. Both Projects S and L, because both projects have IRR's > 0. | | |
| | d. Neither Project S nor L, because each project's NPV < 0. | | |
| | e. Both Projects S and L, because both projects have NPV's > 0. | |
B. A company is analyzing two mutually exclusive projects, S and L, with the following cash flows:
| Project S | -$1,000 | $894.34 | $240 | $10 | $15 |
| Project L | -$1,000 | $5 | $260 | $380 | $775.84 |
The company's WACC is 9.0%. What is the IRR of the better project? (Hint: The better project may or may not be the one with the higher IRR.) Round your answer to two decimal places._____ %
