Jasmine Manufacturing is considering a project that will require an initial investment of $52,000 and is expected to generate future cash flows of $10,000 for years 1 through 3, $8,000 for years 4 and 5, and $2,000 for years 6 through 10. What is the payback period for this project?
Project S has a cost of $10,000 and is expected to produce benefits (cash flows) of $3,000 per year for 5 years. Project L costs $25,000 and is expected to produce cash flows of $7,400 per year for 5 years. Calculate the two projects’ NPVs, IRRs, MIRRs, and PIs, assuming a cost of capital of 12%. Which project would be selected, assuming they are mutually exclusive, using each ranking method? Which should actually be selected?
Find the modified internal rate of return (MIRR) for a proposed project costing $5,489.

Consider a project with free cash flow in one year of $139,138 or $187,005, with either outcome being equally likely. The initial investment required for the project is $110,000, and the project's cost of capital is 23%. The risk-free interest rate is 7%. (Assume no taxes or distress costs.) a. What is the NPV of this project? b. Suppose that to raise the funds for the initial investment, the project is sold to investors as an all-equity firm. The equity holders will receive the cash flows of the project in one year. How much money can be raised in this way that is, what is the initial market value of the unlevered equity? c. Suppose the initial $110,000 is instead raised by borrowing at the risk-free interest rate. What are the cash flows of the levered equity, and what is its initial value according to M&M? a. What is the NPV of this project? The NPV is $ 22578. (Round to the nearest dollar.) b. Suppose that to raise the funds for the initial investment, the project is sold to…
Diana, Industries is considering a project which has the following cash flows: Year Cash Flow 0 ? 1 $4,000 2 4,000 3 3,000 4 1,500 The project has a payback period of 2.5 years. The firm’s cost of capital is 12 percent. What is the project’s net present value (NPV)? What does the NPV rule advice regarding this investment opportunity?
Compute the NPV statistic for Project Y. Explain whether or not the firm should accept or reject the project with the cash flows shown in the chart below if the appropriate cost of capital is 10%. Year 0 = -8,000, year 1 = 3,350, Year 2 = 4,180, Year 3 = 1,520, Year 4 = $300
Connor Corporation is considering two projects (see below). For your analysis, assume these projects are mutually exclusive with a required rate of return of 12%. Project 1 Project 2 Initial investment $(684,000) $(585,000) Cash inflow Year 1 $275,000 $380,000 Compute the following: NPV (net present value) PI (profitability index) IRR (internal rate of return) Based on your analysis, answer the following questions: Which is the best choice? Why? Which project should be selected and why? If the projects had the same IRR amounts but different NPV totals, then how would you know which project to select? Explain. What would happen if both projects had negative NPV totals? Which project would you choose? What do negative NPVs indicate? Explain. Should we also use the payback method to assist us in project selection? Why or why not? Explain.
Kyle is considering an investment with the following cash flows: Net Cash Flow Year ($250,000) 2,250,000 (2,550,000) 350,000 Which of the following statements is most correct? (Hint: Create a simple NPV profile.) 0 1 2 3 A. If you consider only the relevant range for a firm's cost of capital, this project would not be accepted. B. The project has two IRRS (14.204334 percent and 669.872604 percent) so the project should be accepted if the firm's cost of capital is between 14.204334 percent and 669.872604 percent. C. The project has two IRRS (14.204334 percent and 356.687931 percent) so the project should be accepted if the firm's cost of capital is less than 14.204334 percent or greater than 356.687931 percent. D. No IRR can be calculated for this project. E. This project has multiple MIRRs.

The following are two projects a firm is considering: Project B Cash Flow Year 0 1 2 3 4 $2,939.01 Assuming that the relevant cost of capital for both projects is 11%, you should be able to determine the net present value (NPV) and the internal rate of return (IRR) for both project. Assume now that the firm has capital rationing, but knows that its true reinvestment rate is 20%, while its cost of capital is 11 percent. Given this information, determine the modified net present value (MNPV) for Project B.
