Net Present Value-Unequal LivesBunker Hill Mining Company has two competing proposals: a processing mill and an electric shovel. Both pieces of equipment have an initial investment of $825,099. The net cash flows estimated for the two proposals are as follows:Net Cash FlowYearProcessing MillElectric Shovel1$263,000$329,0002234,000305,0003234,000281,0004187,000289,000142,0006118,0007103,000103,000The estimated residual value of the processing mill at the end of Year 4 is $330,000.Present Value of $1 at Compound InterestYear6%10%12%15%20%10.9430.9090.8930.8700.83320.8900.8260.7970.7560.69430.8400.7510.7120.6580.57940.7920.6830.6360.5720.48250.7470.6210.5670.4970.4020.7050.5640.5070.4320.33570.6650.5130.4520.3760.2790.6270.4670.4040.3270.2330.5920.4240.3610.2840.194100.5580.3860.3220.2470.162Determine which equipment should be favored, comparing the net present values of the two proposals and assuming a minimum rate of return of 12%.

Which of the following statements is true regarding the payback period? Multiple Choice It measures the length of time that it takes for a project to recover its initial cost from the discounted net cash inflows that it genera It measures the length of time that it takes for a project to recover its initial cost from the net cash inflows that it generates. It measures the length of time that it takes for a project to recover its initial cost from the incremental net operating income that It measures the length of time that it takes for a project to recover its initial cost from the discounted incremental net operating it generates.
13.Concerning incremental project cash flow, this is a cost one would never count as a cash flow of the project. A. taxes paid B. financing costs C. initial investment D. operating expenses of the project
How can we develop the cash flow series over the project life based on the assumption of most likely estimates?
Modified internal rate of return (MIRR) The IRR evaluation method assumes that cash flows from the project are reinvested at the same rate equal to the IRR. However, in reality the reinvested cash flows may not necessarily generate a return equal to the IRR. Thus, the modified IRR approach makes a more reasonable assumption other than the project’s IRR. Consider the following situation: Green Caterpillar Garden Supplies Inc. is analyzing a project that requires an initial investment of $2,225,000. The project’s expected cash flows are: Year Cash Flow Year 1 $350,000 Year 2 –125,000 Year 3 450,000 Year 4 450,000 Green Caterpillar Garden Supplies Inc.’s WACC is 7%, and the project has the same risk as the firm’s average project. Calculate this project’s modified internal rate of return (MIRR): -12.63% 26.46% 30.64% 29.24% If Green Caterpillar Garden Supplies Inc.’s managers select projects based on the MIRR criterion,…
If a project has a positive net present value, then which of the following statements are correct? I. The present value of all cash inflows must equal the costs of the project. The IRR is equal to the required rate of return. II. A increase in the project's initial cost will cause the project to have a higher positive NPV. III. Any delay in receiving the projected cash inflows will cause the project to have a higher positive NPV. IV. IRR must equal zero. Only II Only III All None of them
I) In IRR method the cash flows from a project are reinvested at the cost of capital. 1) II) IRR is the rate at which present value of cash inflows is equal to the amount of initial investment. III) It is the rate at which the NPV of the project is positive. IV) IRR method is based on concept of time value of money. V) In IRR method the cash flows from a project are reinvested at the IRR itself. Which of the following statements are incorrect about Internal rate of return (IRR): A. I, III and IV. B. III and V C. I, III and IV. D. I only.
Cash flows that are directly associated with a project are called O sunk costs. terminal costs. incremental cash flows. current cash flows.
Opportunity Cost In the context of capital budgeting, what is an NG AND CONCEPTS REVIEW 9.2 Depreciation Gjyen the choice would a firm prefer to use MACRS 9.1 opportunity cost?
How can we determine the project cash flows over the project life?
What is a “constant dollar” cash flow analysis as typically applied to mining projects?
