[QUESTION]
[Problem 13.8]
The Lake Tahow Ski Resort is comparing a half dozen capital improvement projects. It has
allocated $1 million for capital budgeting purposes. The following proposals and associated
profitability indexes have been determined. The projects themselves are independent of one
another.
a. If strict capital rationing for only the current period is assumed, which of the investments
should be undertaken? (Tip: If you didn’t use up the entire capital budget, try some other
combinations of projects, and determine the total net present value for each combination.)
b. Is this an optimal strategy?
[ANSWER]
a.
Selecting those projects with the highest profitability index values would indicate the
following:
Project
Amount
PI
Net Present Value
1
$500,000
1.22
$110,000
3
350,000
1.20
70,000
$850,000
$180,000
However, utilizing “close to” full budgeting will be better.
Project

$110,000
4
450,000
1.18
81,000
$950,000
$191,000
b.
No. The resort should accept all projects with a positive NPV. If capital is not available
to finance them at the discount rate used, a higher discount rate should be used, which
more adequately reflects the costs of financing.

Answer the given question with a proper explanation and step-by-step solution.
Quantitative Problem: Bellinger Industries is considering two projects for inclusion in its capital budget, and you have been asked to do the analysis. Both projects' after-tax cash flows are shown on the time line below. Depreciation, salvage values, net operating working capital requirements, and tax effects are all included in these cash flows. Both projects have 4-year lives, and they have risk characteristics similar to the firm's average project. Bellinger's WACC is 7%.

2. Internal rate of return (IRR)
The internal rate of return (IRR) refers to the compound annual rate of return that a project generates based on its up-front cost and subsequent cash flows. Consider the case of Falcon Freight:
Falcon Freight is evaluating a proposed capital budgeting project (project Sigma) that will require an initial investment of $800,000.
Falcon Freight has been basing capital budgeting decisions on a project’s NPV; however, its new CFO wants to start using the IRR method for capital budgeting decisions. The CFO says that the IRR is a better method because returns in percentage form are easier to understand and compare to required returns. Falcon Freight’s WACC is 7%, and project Sigma has the same risk as the firm’s average project.
The project is expected to generate the following net cash flows:
Year
Cash Flow
Year 1
$275,000
Year 2
$400,000
Year 3
$500,000
Year 4

years. Under what conditions can you rank these projects by comparing their IRRS?
(Select the best choice below.)
O A. There are no conditions under which you can use the IRR to rank projects.
O B. Ranking by IRR will work in this case so long as the projects' cash flows do not decrease from year to year.
O C. Ranking by IRR will work in this case so long as the projects' cash flows do not increase from year to year.
O D. Ranking by IRR will work in this case so long as the projects have the same risk.

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 Happy Dog Soap Company is evaluating a proposed capital budgeting project (project Alpha) that will require an initial investment of $550,000. The project is expected to generate the following net cash flows:
Year
Cash Flow
Year 1
$275,000
Year 2
$450,000
Year 3
$425,000
Year 4
$475,000
Happy Dog Soap Company’s weighted average cost of capital is 8%, 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)?
$1,226,950
$776,950
$893,492

A company wants to decide which project to undertake out of two projects A and B. For this purpose, it wants to evaluate each project that have the same initial investment (cost) but different cash flows for the next three years. The following table gives information on these two projects. The discount rate to be used is 8 percent, which is the WACC for the company. Use two methods of capital budgeting: The Net Present Value (NPV) Method and the Internal Rate of Return (IRR) Method, to evaluate and compare the two projects. Based on the outcome of calculations, choose the best project A or B and explain your decision for each method. Show all your work for each method step by step.
