1.) a.) Investment= 154,700,000 Required rate of return =12% Cash flow = 20 years annuity of 40,643,680 NPV = Present value of future CF - Investment NPV= 303,518,451.5-154,700,000 NPV= 148,818,451.5 b.) Investment= 618,800,000 Required rate of return= 12% Cash Flow= 107,728,000 NPV= present value of future CF - investment NPV= 804,668,222.8- 618,800,000 NPV= 185,868.222.8 The NPV for the new facility is higher than the route of modernizing the existing facility. Taking this into consideration the new facility would be better for the firm since it has a higher NPV. 2.) a.) IRR of investment for modernization for existing facility is 26.01% IRR of investment for new facility is 16.60% 3.) a.) No the NPV and IRR methods are not giving the same accept/ reject signals in this case , The NPV favors the new facility making it a favorable investment whereas the IRR favors the modernization of the existing facility making this also seem like a preferred option for the investment. b.) In this case of mutually exclusive alternatives with different investment scales and magnitudes of future cash flows the NPV and IRR can give divergent signals due to their differing sensitivity to these factors. NPV accounts for the absolute value of cash flows and the cost of capital where IRR focuses on the relative profitability of investments which could lead to conflicts in decision making. 5.) Based on the calculations, modernization of the existing facility would be a better option because of its associated early payback, higher IRR and positive NPV even though it is less than that of the new facility. Based on the information in the case modernization would be better
again because the new location is 15 miles from the existing location which would make it harder on employees.
