Capital Budgeting
IV. Capital Budgeting Data
“Capital budgeting refers to the decision-making process that companies follow with regard to which capital-intensive projects they should pursue. Such capital-intensive projects could be anything from opening a new factory to a significant workforce expansion, entering a new market, or the research and development of new products” (Vipond, 2020)
Of the 3 possible selections, I chose option 3. The initial investment is $85,000,000 with a straight-line depreciation of 20%, the income tax rate is 20%, and WACC is 9%. B. Recommendation My recommendation is to pursue the investment. My recommendation is based on
C.
Difference between NPV and IRR “Net present value (NPV)is the difference between the present value of cash
inflows and the present value of cash outflows over a period of time. By contrast,
the internal rate of return (IRR) is a calculation used to estimate the profitability of potential investments” (Gallant, 2022).
Both evaluating tools are extremely useful to a company when making decisions on capital budgeting.
“If the NPV is negative, then the project or investment is not worth taking because it will be worth less in the future than it is today” (Gallant, 2022)“If a project’s NPV is above zero, then it’s considered to be financially worthwhile” (Gallant, 2022).

8. Conclusions about capital budgeting
The decision process
Before making capital budgeting decisions, finance professionals often generate, review, analyze, select, and implement long-term investment proposals that meet firm-specific criteria and are consistent with the firm’s strategic goals.
Companies often use several methods to evaluate the project’s cash flows and each of them has its benefits and disadvantages.
A. Based on your understanding of the capital budgeting evaluation methods, which of the following conclusions about capital budgeting are valid? Check all that apply.
Because the MIRR and NPV use the same reinvestment rate assumption, they always lead to the same accept/reject decision for mutually exclusive projects.
The discounted payback period improves on the regular payback period by accounting for the time value of money.
For most firms, the reinvestment rate assumption in the MIRR is more realistic than the assumption in the IRR.…

7. The NPV and payback period
What information does the payback period provide?
Suppose you are evaluating a project with the expected future cash inflows shown in the following table. Your boss has asked you to calculate the
project's net present value (NPV). You don't know the project's initial cost, but you do know the project's regular, or conventional, payback period is
2.50 years.
Year
Year 1
Year 2
Year 3
Year 4
Cash Flow
$350,000
$450,000
$400,000
$425,000
If the project's weighted average cost of capital (WACC) is 8%, the project's NPV (rounded to the nearest dollar) is:
O $305,817
O $339,797
O $322,807
O $288,827
Which of the following statements indicate a disadvantage of using the regular payback period (not the discounted payback period) for capital
budgeting decisions? Check all that apply.
The payback period does not take the project's entire life into account.
The payback period does not take the time value of money into account.
The payback period is calculated using…

11: Assignment - The Basics of Capital Budgeting
Blue Llama Mining Company is evaluating a proposed capital budgeting project (project Sigma) that will require an initial investment of
$800,000.
Blue Llama Mining Company 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. Blue Llama Mining Company's WACC is 8%, 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
Year 1
Year 2
Year 3
Year 4
Cash Flow
$350,000
$475,000
$425,000
$500,000
Which of the following is the correct calculation of project Sigma's IRR?
34.38%
38.20%
42.02%
O 36.29%

Solving for the WACC
The WACC is used as the discount rate to evaluate various capital budgeting projects. However, it is important to realize that the WACC is an appropriate discount rate only for a project of average risk.
Analyze the cost of capital situations of the following company cases, and answer the specific questions that finance professionals need to address.
Consider the case of Turnbull Co.
Turnbull Co. has a target capital structure of 58% debt, 6% preferred stock, and 36% common equity. It has a before-tax cost of debt of 11.1%, and its cost of preferred stock is 12.2%.
If Turnbull can raise all of its equity capital from retained earnings, its cost of common equity will be 14.7%. However, if it is necessary to raise new common equity, it will carry a cost of 16.8%.
If its current tax rate is 25%, how much higher will Turnbull’s weighted average cost of capital (WACC) be if it has to raise additional common equity capital by issuing new common stock instead…
