Project Q requires an initial outlay at t = 0 of $20,000, and its expected cash flows would be $5,000 per year for 5 years. Mutually exclusive Project L requires an initial outlay at t = 0 of $26,000, and its expected cash flows would be $13,600 per year for 5 years. If both projects have a WACC of 16%, which project would you recommend? Select the correct answer. a. Neither Project S nor L, since each project's NPV < 0. b. Project S, since the NPVS > NPVL. c. Project L, since the NPVL > NPVS. d. Both Projects S and L, since both projects have IRR's > 0. e. Both Projects S and L, since both projects have NPV's > 0.

A firm will choose betwen two mutually exclusive projects. Project A costs $15,000 and pays out $25,000 in one year. Project B costs $30,000 and pays out $43,000 in one year. Project A's IRR equals 67% and its NPV = $8,585. Project B's IRR = 43% and its NPV = $10,566. Which project should the firm pick?
3. (Ignore income taxes in this problem.) ABC Co. is considering an investment opportunity having cash flows as described below: Project III would require a cash outlay of $10,000 now and would provide a cash inflow of $30,000 eight years from now. Required: If ABC Co. has a required rate of return of 14%, determine if the project is acceptable. Use the NPV method.
You are considering two similar but mutually exclusive investments. You have calculated that: Project A has an NPV = $7,600 and IRR = 19.80% Project B has an NPV = $11,200 and IRR = 17.30% Which project would you select? Project A O Project B

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%? Cash Flow Project A Project B Year 0: –$15,000 Year 0: –$40,000 Year 1: 9,000 Year 1: 8,000 Year 2: 15,000 Year 2: 15,000 Year 3: 14,000 Year 3: 14,000 Year 4: 13,000 Year 5: 12,000 Year 6: 11,000 $13,512 $11,923 $15,897 $12,718 $10,333 Newtown Corp. is considering a five-year project that has a weighted average cost of capital of…
ZLIK Inc is considering methods by which to evaluate a multi-year project that requires a large $55 million investment. Assuming the project has conventional cash flows, under which conditions would the project be an acceptable investment for ZLIK? Select all that apply. A) NPV < 0 B) NPV > 0 C) IRR > firm's required return D) IRR < firm's required return E) Profitability Index > 1.0 F) Profitability Index < 1.0
Assume that you have two investment alternatives: the first project produces $125 for sure, and the second project produces $150 with probability 2/5. You can borrow $110 from your financial institution for one project (investment) if you show an asset as a collateral. Suppose that you maximize your expected profit, what would be the minimum level of collateral that make you select the safe project?
Project A has an internal rate of return of 10%. Project B costs £100 this year and will generate a cash flow of £105 next year. The two projects are not mutually exclusive. 1. The company should only undertake project A 2. If the appropriate discount rate is below 10%, the company should invest in both projects 3. If the appropriate discount rate is above 5% the company should invest in both projects 4. If the appropriate discount rate is above 5%, the company should not undertake project B
You are evaluating five investment projects. You have already calculated the rate of return for each alternative investment and incremental rate of return for the two alternatives. In calculating the incremental rate of return, a lower-cost investment project is subtracted from the higher cost investment project. All rate of return figures are rounded to the nearest integers. If all investment alternatives are mutually exclusive and the MARR is 12%,which alternative should be chosen?(a) D(b)E(c) B(d) Do nothing
Project S requires an initial outlay at t= 0 of $16,000, and its expected cash flows would be $5,500 per year for 5 years. Mutually exclusive Project L requires an initial outlay at t= 0 of $27,500, and its expected cash flows would be $10,150 per year for 5 years. If both projects have a WACC of 14%, which project would you recommend? Select the correct answer. Ca. Project S, because the NPVs > NPVL. Ob. Both Projects S and L, because both projects have IRR's > 0. Oc. Both Projects S and L, because both projects have NPV's > 0. Od. Project I because the NPVL > NPVs. Oe. Neither Project S nor L, because each project's NPV < 0.
