12. Atlas Corp. is considering two mutually exclusive projects. Both require an initial investment of $9,000 at t = 0. Project S has an expected life of 2 years with after-tax cash inflows of $6,100 and $7,800 at the end of Years 1 and 2, respectively. Project L has an expected life of 4 years with after-tax cash inflows of $4,893 at the end of each of the next 4 years. Each project has a WACC of 9.25%, and Project S can be repeated with no changes in its cash flows. The controller prefers Project S, but the CFO prefers Project L. How much value will the firm gain or lose if Project L is selected over Project S, i.e., what is the value of NPVL - NPVS? a. 951.15 b. 889.12 c. 1,033.86 d. 1,013.18 e. 940.81

Kelli is considering a project that would last for 3 years and have a cost of capital of 10.98 percent. The relevant level of net working capital for the project is expected to be $9,620.00 immediately (at year 0); $30,700.00 in 1 year; $27,500.00 in 2 years; and $8,520.00 in 3 years. Relevant expected operating cash flows and cash flows from capital spending in years 0, 1, 2, and 3 are presented in the following table. What is the net present value of this project? Operating cash flows Year 0 $0.00 Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 $52,500.00 $52,500.00 $52,500.00 Cash flows from capital spending -$97,700.00 $0.00 $0.00 $7,800.00 O $99,678.69 (plus or minus $10) $84,352.32 (plus or minus $10) O $114,320.23 (plus or minus $10) $24,215.27 (plus or minus $10) None of the above is within $10 of the correct answer
6. An elective project is currently under review. One alternative requires an initial investment of $116,000 for equipment. The profit is expected to be $28,000 each year, over the 6-year project period. The salvage value of the equipment at the end of the project period is projected to be $22,000. A second alternative requires an initial investment of $60,000 for equipment. The profit is projected to be $16,000 each year, over the 6-year project period. The salvage value of the equipment at the end of the project period is projected to be $14,000. The IRR of this alternative is 18.69%. Determine which alternative is preferred using the appropriate IRR method. Assume a MARR of 10%. Justify your recommendation, based on this method.
Project S costs $16,000 and its expected cash flows would be $4,500 per year for 5 years. Mutually exclusive Project L costs $50,000 and its expected cash flows would be $12,200 per year for 5 years. If both projects have a WACC of 12%, which project would you recommend?
F2.
Ace Barker Inc. is evaluating two mutually exclusive projects: A and B. The initial investment for each project is $42,000. Project A will generate cash inflows equal to $15,600 at the end of each of the next five years; Project B will generate only one cash inflow in the amount of $70,000 at the end of the fifth year (i.e., no cash flows are generated in the first four years). The required rate of return of Ace Barker Inc. is 10 percent. Which project should Ace Barker Inc. purchase? O Project A should be purchased because it has a higher net present value (NPV) than Project B O Project A should be purchased because it will produce cash every year for five years. O Project B should be purchased because it has a positive net present value (NPV). Neither project should be purchased, because neither has a positive net present value (NPV).
4. Mulroney Corp. is considering two mutually exclusive projects. Both require an initial investment of S9,000 at t = 0. Project X has an expected life of 2 years with after-tax cash inflows of $6,200 and $7,100 at the end of Years 1 and 2, respectively. In addition, Project X can be repeated at the end of Year 2 with no changes in its cash flows. Project Y has an expected life of 4 years with after-tax cash inflows of $4,600 at the end of each of the next 4 years. Each project has a WACC of 8%. Using the replacement chain approach, what is the NPV of the most profitable project? Do not round the intermediate calculations and round the final answer to the nearest whole number. a. 5,113 b. 4,989 c. 5,425 d. 5,924
Project S requires an initial outlay at t= 0 of $16,000, and its expected cash flows would be $5,500 per year for 5 years. Mutually exclusive Project L requires an initial outlay at t= 0 of $27,500, and its expected cash flows would be $10,150 per year for 5 years. If both projects have a WACC of 14%, which project would you recommend? Select the correct answer. Ca. Project S, because the NPVs > NPVL. Ob. Both Projects S and L, because both projects have IRR's > 0. Oc. Both Projects S and L, because both projects have NPV's > 0. Od. Project I because the NPVL > NPVs. Oe. Neither Project S nor L, because each project's NPV < 0.
Project S requires an initial outlay at t = 0 of $19,000, and its expected cash flows would be $5,500 per year for 5 years. Mutually exclusive Project L requires an initial outlay at t = 0 of $37,000, and its expected cash flows would be $10,800 per year for 5 years. If both projects have a WACC of 13%, which project would you recommend? Select the correct answer. a. Project L, because the NPVL > NPVS. b. Neither Project S nor L, because each project's NPV < 0. c. Both Projects S and L, because both projects have NPV's > 0. d. Both Projects S and L, because both projects have IRR's > 0. e. Project S, because the NPVS > NPVL.
Elysian Fields, Inc., uses a maximum payback period of 6 years and currently must choose between two mutually exclusive projects. Project Hydrogen requires an initial outlay of $28,000; project Helium requires an initial outlay of $34,000. Using the expected cash inflows given for each project in the following table, Expected cash inflows Year Hydrogen Helium 1 $6,500 $8,000 2 $5,000 $8,000 3 $8,500 $7,000 4 $3,000 $4,500 5 $3,500 $5,000 6 $2,500 $4,000 calculate each project's payback period. Which project meets Elysian's standards?
21. Project Alpha requires an outlay of $10,000 immediately. Project Alpha has a 1-yearlife and is expected to produce a net cash flow at the end of one year of $20,000.Project Beta, a mutually exclusive alternative to Alpha, requires an outlay of$20,000 immediately. It too is expected to have a 1-year life and to produce a netcash flow at the end of one year of $35,000.a. Compute the internal rate of return for both projects. Compute the NPV forboth projects, using a cost of capital of 10 percent.b. Which project should be undertaken?
