It divides the present value of net cash flows by the initial investment to determine the profitability index of the project.D. It identifies the time period required to recover the cost of the capital investment from the net annual cash flow produced by the project.

What is the regular payback period for each of the projects?
2. You are considering two mutually exclusive financial opportunities. Project A requires an initial outlay of $100,000, offers $15,000 a year for twelve years, and has an expected residual value of $100,000 at the end year twelve. On the other hand, Project B has an initial cost of $150,000, offers $18,750 annually for twelve years, and has an expected residual value of $150,000 at the end of year twelve. a. Determine the range of MARR's (minimum acceptable rate of return) for which Project A is the better choice; b. Determine the range of MARR's for which Project B is the better choice; and c. Determine the range of MARR's for which neither of these is an acceptable option.

Buena Vision Clinic is considering an investment that requires an outlay of $600,000 and promises a net cash inflow one year from now of $810,000. Assume the cost of capital is 10 percent. Required: 1. Break the $810,000 future cash inflow into three components: a. The return of the original investment b. The cost of capital c. The profit earned on the investment 2. Now, compute the present value of the profit earned on the investment. 3. Compute the NPV of the investment. Compare this with the present value of the profit computed in Requirement 2. What does this tell you about the meaning of NPV?
Suppose that SolarHeat Co., a renewable energy startup, currently has earnings of $10 per share and that Eleanor anticipates the earnings per share to grow by 6 percent per year. Using a mean industry PE ratio of 12 and the expected annual growth rate on the firm's existing earnings, the estimated stock price in three years is: $138.63 $142.92 O $147.21 $154.35 Suppose SolarHeat Co. is expected to pay a dividend of $3 per share over the next three years, that Eleanor's required rate of return is 16 percent, and that she plans to sell the stock at the end of the three-year time period. Under these circumstances, using the adjusted dividend discount model, the value of the stock today is: O $88.47 per share $98.30 per share $101.25 per share $105.18 per share
