1. A firm is considering three mutually exclusive expansion projects. Their initial cost is the same for the three of them in a value of €12,000, and the minimum required rate of return for the firm is 10%. The excpected cash flows for each project are: Years Project A Project B Project C 3 €6,500 5 1 4 €6,500 €4,000 €6,500 €4,000 €4,000 €4,000 €4,000 a) Which of the investments will the firm choose using: > Payback method > NPV IRR b) Would your response change if the firm's funds are unlimited? Explain.

Consider the following cash flows on two mutually exclusive projects:Year Project A Project B0 –$58,000 –$73,0001 38,000 37,0002 33,000 46,0003 28,000 49,000The cash flows of Project A are expressed in real terms, whereas those of Project B are expressed in nominal terms. The appropriate nominal discount rate is 13 percent, and the inflation rate is 5 percent. Calculate the NPV for each project.
Consider two mutually exclusive projects – Project X and Project Y with identical initial outlays of RM90,000 and depreciable lives of 5 years. Project X is expected to produce free cash flows of RM32,787 each year. Project Y is expected to generate a single after-tax net cash flow of RM223,880 in year 5. The cost of capital is 15 percent. Required:(a) Calculate the net present value for each project

King Corporation is planning a 15-year project with an initial investment of $2,013,000. The project will have $563,000 cash inflows per year in years 1-2; $166,000 cash inflows in years 3-10, and $57,000 cash inflows in years 11-15. Determine the project's internal rate of return (IRR).

A project is expected to generate a cash flow of £250 at the end of each of three consecutive years, as illustrated below: End of year 1 2 3 Cash flow £250 £250 £250 The project manager uses a discount rate of 10% to evaluate the project. Which of the following statements is/are incorrect? a. Economic capital at the start of year 1 (K0) equals £621.7 (rounded to one decimal). b. If all cash flows were distributed when received (i.e. if payout was 100%), economic income in year 2 (Y2) would equal £62.2 (rounded to one decimal). c. If the project manager did not distribute any of the project cash flows (i.e. if payout was 0%), the project’s economic capital would not depreciate during year 1. d. If the project manager distributed all of the project cash flows (i.e. if payout was 100%), the project’s economic capital would depreciate over time.
13. The IBC Company is considering undertaking an investment that promises to have the following cash flows Period 0 is = -$100 Period 1 is= $150 Period 2 is = $50 Period 3 is = $50 If it waits a year, it can invest in an alternative (that is, mutually exclusive) investment that promises to pay Period 1 Period 2 Period 3 −$150 $250 $50 Assume a time value of money of 0.05. Which investment should the firm undertake? Use the present value method and the internal rate of return approaches. With the IRR approach, use the incremental cash flows.
