Question:
Evaluate the following projects using the net present value criteria. Suppose the cost of capital is 9%.
Project M | Project N | |
First Cash Out | -260.000$ | -260.000$ |
Year 1 Cash flow | 19.000 | 185.000 |
Year 2 Cash flow | 121.000 | 85.000 |
Year 3 Cash flow | 185.000 | 55.000 |
A. | What are the NPVs for projects and what do these numbers tell you? |
B. | If the projects are independent, which one would you accept according to the NPV criteria? |
C. | If the projects are mutually exclusive, which would you accept based on the NPV criterion? |
D. | Both projects have a total cash inflow of $325,000 and the same initial outflow. Why don't both projects have the same NPV? |
e. | If the cost of capital rises to 12%, what effect will this have on your decision? |
F. | Why does a change in cost of capital have an effect on NPV? |
