Buena Vision Clinic is considering an investment that requires an outlay of 600,000 and promises a net cash inflow one year from now of 810,000. Assume the cost of capital is 10 percent. Required: 1. Break the 810,000 future cash inflow into three components: a. The return of the original investment b. The cost of capital c. The profit earned on the investment 2. Now, compute the present value of the profit earned on the investment. 3. Compute the NPV of the investment. Compare this with the present value of the profit computed in Requirement 2. What does this tell you about the meaning of NPV?

Consider two investment projects, which both require an upfront investment of $9 million, and both of which pay a constant positive amount each year for the next 9 years. Under what conditions can you rank these projects by comparing their IRRS? (Select the best choice below.) O A. There are no conditions under which you can use the IRR to rank projects. O B. Ranking by IRR will work in this case so long as the projects' cash flows do not decrease from year to year. O C. Ranking by IRR will work in this case so long as the projects' cash flows do not increase from year to year. O D. Ranking by IRR will work in this case so long as the projects have the same risk.
