5 820   210  
6 990   210  
7 -325   210  

 

  1. Select the correct graph for NPV profiles for Projects A and B.

       

    The correct graph is  .

  2. What is each project's IRR? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to two decimal places.

    Project A:   %

    Project B:   %

  3. Calculate the two projects' NPVs, if each project's cost of capital was 11%. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to the nearest cent.

    Project A: $   

    Project B: $   

    Which project, if either, should be selected?

      should be selected.

    Project A: $   

    Project B: $   

    What would be the proper choice?

      is the proper choice.

  4. What is each project's MIRR at a cost of capital of 11%? (Hint: Consider Period 7 as the end of Project B's life.) Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to two decimal places.

    Project A:   %

    Project B:   %

    What is each project's MIRR at a cost of capital of 18%? (Hint: Consider Period 7 as the end of Project B's life.) Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to two decimal places.
