A project manager wants to invest in a project with an initial cost of $58,500 and cash flows of $32,400 and $38,500 in Years 1 and 2. The manager's employer requires a discount rate of 10 percent and also a return of $1.10 in today's dollars for every $1 invested. Will the project be approved? Why or why not? 1-No; because the project does not meet either requirement. 2-Yes; because both criteria are met. 3-Yes; because the Pl is greater than 1. 4-Yes; because the NPV is positive. 5-No; while the project returns more than 10 percent it does meet the $1.10 per $1 requirement.

You've graduated from college and are now working in an investment firm where you advise clients on investment decisions. Here is the information on a proposed project. Up-front cost: $100,000 • Next year's revenue: $15,000 . Real interest rate: 7% • Depreciation rate: 3% ● How much profit does the project yield, and should your client invest in the project? No, the client should not invest because the project yields a $10,000 loss. Yes, the client should invest because the project yields a $50,000 profit. No, the client should not invest because the project yields a $15,000 loss. Yes, the client should invest because the project yields a $15,000 profit.

The Weiland Computer Corporation is trying to choose between the following mutually exclusive design projects, P1 and P2: Year 0 1 2 3 Cash flows (P1) -$53,000 27,000 27,000 27,000 Cash flow (P2) -$16,000 9,100 9,100 9,100 If the discount rate is 10 percent and the company applies the profitability index (PI) decision rule, which project should the firm accept? If the firm applies the Net Present Value (NPV) decision rule, which project should it take? Are your answers in (a) and (b) different? Explain why?
Consider a project with the following cash flows: Year 0 -1000 Year 1 1000 Year 2 1000 Year 3 -800 Project D The cash flows are negative in the last period because of decommissioning costs. i.) Write an equation that a good calculator or computer might be able to solve to calculate the IRR (but do not solve it). ii.) Two of your associates have gotten into a fist-fight over the IRR of the project in (i). One claims it is 29.519270%, way above the relevant cost of capital, so that the company should take the project. The other claims it is -34.793795%, way below the relevant cost of capital, so the company should reject the project. What happens when you plug these values into your equation from (i)? Is one of the associates right? What does this imply about the IRR rule?
A firm evaluates all its projects by applying the IRR rule. the current proposed project has a cash flow of negative 37,048 dollars, 16,850 15,700 and 19,300 for years zero to three, respectfully. The required return is 18%. what is the project IRR? should the products be accepted or rejected?
A firm evaluates all of its projects by applying the NPV decision rule. A project under consideration has the following cash flows: Year Cash Flow 0 –$ 28,900 1 12,900 2 15,900 3 11,900 What is the NPV for the project if the required return is 11 percent? At a required return of 11 percent, should the firm accept this project? What is the NPV for the project if the required return is 25 percent?
