Capital Budgeting Techniques

CSUSM is considering two mutually exclusive investments. The projects expected net cash flows are as follows:

Expected Net Cash Flows

Year Project A Project B

0 $(45,000) $(50,000)

1 (20,000) 15,000

2 11,000 15,000

3 20,000 15,000

4 30,000 15,000

5 45,000 15,000

a. Construct NPV profiles for Projects A and B.(20 points)

b. Calculate each projects IRR (15 points).

c. If the required rate of return for each project is 13 percent, which project should CSUSM select? If the required rate of return is 9 percent, what would be the proper choice? If the required rate of return is 15 percent, what would be the proper choice? (15 points)

d. At what rate do the NPV profiles of the two projects cross? (20 points)

e. Project A has a large cash flow in Year 5 associated with ending the project. CSUSMs management is confident of Project As cash flows in Years 0 to 4 but is uncertain about what its Year 5 cash flow will be. (There is no uncertainty about Project Bs cash flows.) Under a worst-case scenario, Project As Year 5 cash flow will be $40,000, whereas under a best-case scenario, the cash flow will be $50,000. Redo parts (a), (b), and (d) for each scenario, assuming a 13 percent required rate of return. If the required rate of return for each project is 13 percent, which project should be selected under each scenario? (30 points)
