Crockett Graphic Designs Inc. is considering two mutually exclusive projects. Both projects require an initial after-tax investment of $11,000 and are typical average-risk projects for the firm. Project A has an expected life of 2 years with after-tax cash inflows of $6,000 and $8,000 at the end of Years 1 and 2, respectively. Project B has an expected life of 4 years with after-tax cash inflows of $5,000 at the end of each of the next 4 years. The firm's WACC is 10%. a. If the projects cannot be repeated, which project should be selected if Crockett uses NPV as its criterion for project selection? Project should be selected. b. Assume that the projects can be repeated and that there are no anticipated changes in the cash flows. Use the replacement chain analysis to determine the NP of the project selected. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest cent. Since Project 's extended NPV = $ , it should be selected over Project A ~ with an…

Newtown Corp. has to choose between two mutually exclusive projects. If it chooses project A, Newtown Corp. will have the opportunity to make a similar investment in three years. However, if it chooses project B, it will not have the opportunity to make a second investment. The following table lists the cash flows for these projects. If the firm uses the replacement chain (common life) approach, what will be the difference between the net present value (NPV) of project A and project B, assuming that both projects have a weighted average cost of capital of 12%?

Companies invest in expansion projects with the expectation of increasing the earnings of its business. Consider the case of Garida Co.: Garida Co. is considering an investment that will have the following sales, variable costs, and fixed operating costs: Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 3,000 3,250 3,300 Sales price $17.25 $17.33 $17.45 Variable cost per unit $8.88 $8.92 $9.03 Fixed operating costs $12,500 $13,000 $13,220 Unit sales This project will require an investment of $20,000 in new equipment. Under the new tax law, the equipment is eligible for 100% bonus deprecation at t = 0, so it will be fully depreciated at the time of purchase. The equipment will have no salvage value at the end of the project's four-year life. Garida pays a constant tax rate of 25%, and it has a weighted average cost of capital (WACC) of 11%. Determine what the project's net present value (NPV) would be under the new tax law. Which of the following most closely approximates what the project's net present value (NPV)…
