Question

Assume that you are considering several 5-year projects that have varying risk levels.  You normally adjust your required return upward by 2% for higher-than-average risk projects and down by 2% for lower-than-average risk projects.  The required return for average risk projects is 12%.  After evaluating the risk of the projects under consideration, you have the following information:

 

Project                                               A                     B                     C        

Initial Investment                ($50,000)               ($50,000)          ($50,000)

Cash flows for years 1–5        14,000                    14,750             13,500

Risk Level                     Average         Above Average     Below Average

Calculate the payback period, IRR, NPV, MIRR and PI for each project using risk-adjusted discount rates.  If the projects are independent, which would you accept?  If they are mutually exclusive, which would you accept? Draw NPV profile for Project A & B, how might a change in the cost of capital produce a conflict between the NPV and IRR rankings of these two projects? What is the cross rate for both projects?
