We have two independent and mutually exclusive projects, A and B. Project A requires an initial investment of $1500, and will yield $800 of cash inflows for the next three years. Project B requires an initial investment of $5000, and will yield $1,500 of cash inflows for the next five years. The required return on each project is 10%. The cash flows and required return given are all in nominal terms. Given that the inflation rate is 3%, answer the following questions: e. What are the real cash flows from Project A and Project B?

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 Y cost $8,000 and will generate net cash inflows of $1,500 in year one, $2,000 in year two, $2,500 in year three, $3,000 in year four and $2,000 in year five. What is the NPV using 8% as the discount rate?
A3 5a. 5. We have two independent and mutually exclusive projects, A and B. Project A requires an initial investment of $1500, and will yield $800 of cash inflows for the next three years. Project B requires an initial investment of $5000, and will yield $1,500 of cash inflows for the next five years. The required return on each project is 10%. a. What are the net present values of Project A and Project B?
We have two mutually exclusive projects A and B. Both require initial costs of $10,000 and last for 4 years. Project A has expected future cash flows of $4,000, $5,000, $8,000 and $3,000, respectively. Project B has expected future cash flows of $8,000, $9,000, $2,000 and -$3,000. If the required return for project A is 12% and the required return for project B is 9%, which project should we start? Choose project A because its NPV is higher than project B Choose project B because its NPV is higher than project A Choose project A because project B has negative future cash flows Choose project A because its required return is higher than project A
A3 5d 5. We have two independent and mutually exclusive projects, A and B. Project A requires an initial investment of $1500, and will yield $800 of cash inflows for the next three years. Project B requires an initial investment of $5000, and will yield $1,500 of cash inflows for the next five years. The required return on each project is 10%. The cash flows and required return given are all in nominal terms. Given that the inflation rate is 3%, answer the following questions: d. What is the real rate of return based on the exact Fisher equation?
A project will produce cash inflows of $2,800 a year for 4 years with a final cash inflow of $5,700 in year 5. The project's initial cost is $9,500. What is the net present value of this project if the required rate of return is 16 percent? a. $11,168.02 b. $4,650.11 c. $1,048.75 d. -$311.02
Consider the following projects, X and Y where the firm can only choose one. Project X costs $1500 and has cash flows of $678, $652, $347, $111, $54, $16 in each of the next 6 years. Project Y also costs $1500, and generates cash flows of $738, $693, $405 for the next 3 years, respectively. WACC=11%.A) Draw the timelines for both projects: X and Y.
a. Project L requires an initial outlay at t = 0 of $48,817, its expected cash inflows are $10,000 per year for 8 years, and its WACC is 13%. What is the project's IRR? Round your answer to two decimal places. b. Project L requires an initial outlay at t = 0 of $60,000, its expected cash inflows are $12,000 per year for 7 years, and its WACC is 11%. What is the project's payback? Round your answer to two decimal places.
NUBD must choose one of two mutually exclusive projects. Project A has an up-front cost (t = 0) of P120,000, and it is expected to produce cash inflows of P80,000 per year at the end of each of the next two years. Two years from now, the project can be repeated at a higher up-front cost of P125,000, but the cash inflows will remain the same. Project B has an up-front cost of P100,000, and it is expected to produce cash inflows of P41,000 per year at the end of each of the next four years. Project B cannot be repeated. Both projects have a cost of capital of 10 percent. NUBD wants to select the project that provides the most value over the next four years. What is the net present value (NPV) of the project that creates the most value for NUBD? (Use replacement chain method)

Project Y also costs $1500, and generates cash flows of $738, $693, $405 for the next 3 years, respectively. WACC=11%.Calculate the projects’ NPVs, IRRs, payback periods.
A project with an investment of $10,000 has net cash flows of $9, 000, $3,000, and $1,000 for each of the next three years. Compute the average rate of return for the project. 2.111 1.869 0.775 0.999 0.867
Voyageur has two mutually exclusive projects under consideration. The required investment for each is $15,000. The required return on each is 6%. The cash flows are as follows Year 1 2 3 4 IRR PROJECT A $2,000 4,000 7,000 10,000 15.2% PROJECT B $8,000 6,000 4,000 2,000 16.1% a) By considering the cash flows produced by the two investments; which project do you select by using the NPV criterion? Which would be selected by using IRR? b) Why do NPV and IRR select different projects? c) Which project do you select and why
