A company has the option to invest in project A, project B, or neither (the projects are mutually exclusive and the company has no other investment options). Project A requires an initial investment of $100,000 today and provides cash flows of $30,000 a year for five years. Project B requires a $875,000 investment today and will have cash flows of $200,000 a year for 4 years, with a final cashflow of $300,000 in year 5. The firm's hurdle rate (discount rate) for these projects is 8%. Which project should be selected? O (a) A (b) В (c) Neither
ABC Ltd. is considering an investment which would require the immediate purchase of a capital asset costing €400,000 and working capital of €120,000.

Quorex is evaluating two mutually exclusive projects. Project A has a net investment of $48,000 and net cash flows over a six-year period of $12,500 per year (that project requires a reinvestment with the same cost and cash flow for another six years). Project B also has a net investment of $48,500, but its net cash flows of $8,640 per year will occur over a 12-year period. If Quorex has a cost of capital of 14% for these projects, which project, if either, should be chosen, and what is its NPV?

DEF Ltd is currently considering an investment in a new project named Project Two. The project would involve an immediate purchase of capital equipment costing €1.5m. This equipment is expected to have a residual value in five years of €150,000, and will be depreci- ated over five years on a straight line basis. Sales of the new product will be €1.4m per annum for five years. DEF Ltd earns a contribu- tion of 45% on sales. The new product would require that a project manager be recruited at a salary of €50,000 per annum and the company will have to make annual contributions of €12,000 to fund the man- ager’s pension benefits.
