PARTICIPATION PROBLEMS CHAPTER 11 You must analyze two projects, X and Y. Each project costs $10,000, and the firm's WACC is 10%. The expected cash flows are as follows: 1. 2 4 Project X -$10,000 Project Y $10,000 $6,500 $3,500 $3,000 $3,500 $3,000 3,500 1,000 $3,500 a. Calculate each project's NPV, IRR, MIRR, payback, and discounted payback. b. Which project(s) should be accepted if they are independent? c. Which project(s) should be accepted if they are mutually exclusive? d. How might a change in the WACC produce a conflict between the NPV and IRR rankings of the two projects? Would there be a conflict if WACC were 5%? (Hint: Plot the NPV profiles. The crossover rate is 6.21875%.) Why does the conflict exist? e
