A company has created a strategic plan that requires new capital investment. The company has a 9.8% required rate of return and an 8.3% cost of capital. The company currently has a return of 10% on its other investments. The proposed new investments have equal annual cash inflows expected. Management used a screening procedure of calculating a payback period for potential investments and annual cash flows, and the IRR for the 7 possible investments are shown. Each investment has a 6-year expected useful life and no salvage value. Payback Period IRR Investment A 4.2 10.5 130000 B 5.9 5.1 67000 C 5.0 13.4 83000 D 4.8 7.4 61000 E 3.2 12.1 115000 F 4.0 9.9 65000 G 6.3 9.8 76000 Identify which project(s) is/are unacceptable and briefly state the conceptual justification as to why each of your choices is unacceptable. Assume the company had $330,000 available to spend. Which remaining projects should be invested in and in what order?
