Consider the following two projects: Cash Flow Project A Project B C0 -$120 -$120 C1 48 60
Question:
Consider the following two projects:
Cash Flow | Project A | Project B |
C0 | -$120 | -$120 |
C1 | 48 | 60 |
C2 | 48 | 60 |
C3 | 48 | 60 |
C4 | 48 | 60 |
C5 | 48 |
a.If the opportunity cost of capital is 7%, which of these two projects would you accept (A, B, or both)?
Which projects would you accept?
0 Project A
0 Project B
0 Both
b.Suppose that you can choose only one of these two projects. Which would you choose? The discount rate is still 7%.
Which project would you choose?
0 Project A
0 Project B
c.Which one would you choose if the cost of capital is 12%?
Which project would you choose?
0 Project A
0 Project B
d.What is the payback period of each project?
Project A | Project B | |
Payback Period | 0 Year 1 0 Year 2 0 Year 3 0 Year 4 | 0 Year 1 0 Year 2 0 Year 3 0 Year 4 |
e.Is the project with the shortest payback period also the one with the highest NPV?
Shortest Payback would also mean highest NPV:
0 Yes
0 No
f.What are the internal rates of return on the two projects?
Project A | Project B | |
IRR | _________% | ___________% |
g.Does the IRR rule in this case give the same answer as NPV?
If Cost of Capital is less than Cross-Over Rate | 0Yes 0 No |
If Cost of Capital is Equal to or Greater than Cross-Over Rate | 0Yes 0 No |
h-1.If the opportunity cost of capital is 7%, what is the profitability index for each project?(Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)
Project A | Project B | |
Profitability Index |
h-2.Is the project with the highest profitability index also the one with the highest NPV?
Highest Profitability Index would also mean highest NPV | 0 Yes 0 No |
h-3.Which measure should you use to choose between the projects?
If capital is rationed | 0 NPV 0 Profitability Index |
If capital is not rationed | 0 NPV 0 Profitability Index |
