8. NPV profiles An NPV profile plots a project's NPV at various costs of capital. An example NPV profile is shown below: Identify the range of costs of capital that a firm would use to accept and reject this project, and answer the questions that follow. NPV (Dollars) 600 500 400 300 200 100 0 ← -100 -200 -300 A 2 4 6 8 10 12 14 16 DISCOUNT (REQUIRED) RATE (Percent) The project represented by triangle A should be B 18 20 This NPV profile demonstrates that as the cost of capital increases, the project's NPV ?

Basic NPV methods tell us that the value of a project today is NPV0. Time value of money issues also lead us to believe that if we choose not to do the project that it will be worth NPV1 one period from now, such that NPV0 > NPV1.  Why then do we see some firms choosing to defer taking on a project.  Be complete and thorough in your answer.

The manager of a small firm wants to know which among the three different projects should the company enter into.

Making the accept or reject decision Hungry Whale Electronics's decision to accept or reject project Alpha is independent of its decisions on other projects. If the firm follows the NPV method, it should project Alpha. Which of the following statements best explains what it means when a project has an NPV of $0? O When a project has an NPV of $0, the project is earning a rate of return less than the project's weighted average cost of capital. It's OK to accept the project, as long as the project's profit is positive. O When a project has an NPV of $0, the project is earning a rate of return equal to the project's weighted average cost of capital. It's OK to accept a project with an NPV of $0, because the project is earning the required minimum rate of return. O When a project has an NPV of $0, the project is earning a profit of $0. A firm should reject any project with an NPV of $0, because the project is not profitable.
