The net present value (NPV) rule is considered one of the most common and preferred criteria that generally lead to good investment decisions. Consider this case: Suppose Hungry Whale Electronics is evaluating a proposed capital budgeting project (project Alpha) that will require an initial investment of $500,000. The project is expected to generate the following net cash flows: Year Cash Flow Year 1 $300,000 Year 2 $475,000 Year 3 $500,000 Year 4 $400,000   Hungry Whale Electronics’s weighted average cost of capital is 9%, and project Alpha has the same risk as the firm’s average project. Based on the cash flows, what is project Alpha’s net present value (NPV)? $344,489   $844,489   $1,319,489   $971,162     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.…

Suppose you have to choose between two mutually exclusive investment projects with the following cash flows (all numbers are in $1,000s): [image attached] Both projects have a discount rate of 9%. Determine the Payback Period, Net Present Value (NPV) and the IRR for each project. Which is the better project based on NPV? And how can you use the IRR criterion to obtain the correct (i.e., value maximizing) project choice? t=0 t = 1 t = 2 Project A -$400 $250 $300 Project B -$200 $140 $179 Skip Extension Tip: Double click to open in new tab

1. Hardchoice Corp. is a firm considering prospective capital budgeting projects. Selected data on the projects follow: Image attached Consider the following statements. Select the one that is true. 1.   The NPV of project D will be much more sensitive to changes in the discount rate than will the NPV of project A. 2. If projects C and D are mutually exclusive, incremental analysis indicates that one should reject project C and accept project D. 3. It is possible for projects A and D to have the same NPV. 4. All of the above are true. 5.  None of the above is true.

Find the modified internal rate of return (MIRR) for a proposed project costing $12,513. Assume that the appropriate cost of capital for projects of this risk level, at this company is 10.96%, and the estimated cash flows for the life of the project are found in the table below. (If you calculate an MIRR of 20.22% , please enter 20.22- do not include the % symbol, and use at least two decimal places). Year 1 $7,261 Year 2 $4,832 Year 3 $9,441.2 Year 4 $13,000 Year 5 $12,638

a. Calculate the project's NPV at each of the following discount rates: 0%, 5%, 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%. b. What do the calculations tell you about this project's IRR? The IRR rule tells managers to invest if a project's IRR is greater than the cost of capital. If Acme Oscillators' cost of capital is 8%, should the company accept or reject this investment? c. Notice that this project's greatest NPVS come at very high discount rates. Can you provide an intuitive explanation for that pattern?

Suppose you are considering a project with an initial investment of $500,000. This project has an estimated net present value (NPV) of $750,000. How would you explain the meaning of the $750,000 net present value (NPV) to a nonfinancial manager? O The positive NPV indicates this project is expected to increase the value of the firm by $250,000. The positive NPV indicates this project is expected to increase the value of the firm by $750,000. The project benefits outweigh the costs by $250,000 on a present value basis. O The project benefits outweigh the costs by $500,000 on a present value basis.
