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?
2) Assume that you are considering a project. Its initial after-tax cost is $1,500,000 and it is expected to provide after-tax operating cash inflows of $1,800,000 in year 1, $2,900,000 in year2, $2,700,000 in year 3 and $2,300,000 in year 4. a. Roughly calculate the Internal Rate of Return (IRR) of the project. b. Discuss whether you accept the project or not.
Answer each independent question, (a) through (e), below. a. Project B costs $10,000 and will generate after-tax cash inflows of $900 in year 1, $2,400 in year 2, $4,300 in year 3, $3,400 in year 4, and $4,300 in year 5. What is the payback period (in years) for this investment assuming that the cash inflows occur evenly throughout the year? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) b. Project C costs $10,000 and will generate net cash inflows of $4,750 before taxes for 5 years. The firm uses straight-line depreciation with no salvage value and is subject to a 20% tax rate. What is the payback period under the assumption that all cash inflows occur evenly throughout the year? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
The Butler-Perkins Company (BPC) must decide between two mutually exclusive projects. Each project has an initial after-tax cash outflow of $6,500 and has an expected life of 3 years. Annual project after-tax cash flows begin 1 year after the initial investment and are subject to the following probability distributions: Project A Project B Probability Cash Flows Probability Cash Flows 0.2 $6,250 0.2 $ 0.6 6,500 0.6 6,500 0.2 6,750 0.2 19,000 BPC has decided to evaluate the riskier project at 11% and the less-risky project at 8%. a. What is each project's expected annual after-tax cash flow? Round your answers to the nearest cent. Project A: $ Project B: Project B's standard deviation (OB) is $6,185 and its coefficient of variation (CVB) is 0.80. What are the values of gg and CVA? Do not round intermediate calculations.

Consider three projects A, B and C with identical initial outlays of $125,000. Project A is expected to produce after- tax cash flows of $37,000 in year 1, $47,000 in year 2, $57,000 in year 3 and $37,000 in year 4. Project B is expected to generate a single after-tax net cash flow of $220,000 in year 4. Project C produces cash flows of $43,000 in each of the next four years. The cost of capital is 14%.
