Question 10 (2.25 points)Final Clearance Inc. recently analyzed the project whose cash flows are shown below. However, before Finals decidedto accept or reject the project, the Federal Reserve took actions that changed interest rates and therefore the firm'sWACC. The Fed's action did not affect the forecasted cash flows. By how much did the change in the WACC affect theproject's forecasted NPV? Note that a project's projected NPV can be negative, in which case it should be rejected.Old WACC: 8.00%YearCash flows$102.54-$93.64-$102.54$0.00$93.640-$11,0001New WACC: 7.50%$4,2002$4,3003$4,500

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: Grey Fox Aviation Company 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 $325,000 Year 2 –100,000 Year 3 475,000 Year 4 475,000 Q1. Grey Fox Aviation Company’s WACC is 9%, and the project has the same risk as the firm’s average project. Calculate this project’s modified internal rate of return (MIRR): 33.79% 29.18% -11.55% 27.65% If Grey Fox Aviation Company’s managers select projects based on the MIRR criterion, they should Q2. ______ this…

17. You are considering two mutually exclusive, equally risky projects. Both have IRRS that exceed the cost of capital. Which of the following statements is CORRECT? Assume that the projects have normal cash flows, with one outflow followed by a set of inflows. A. If the cost of capital is greater than the crossover rate, then the IRR and the NPV criteria will not result in a conflict between the projects. The same project will rank higher by both criteria. B. If the cost of capital is less than the crossover rate, then the IRR and the NPV criteria will not result in a conflict between the projects. The same project will rank higher by both criteria. C. For a conflict to exist between NPV and IRR, the initial investment cost of one project must exceed the cost of the criteria. D. If the two project's NPV profiles do not cross, then there will be a sharp conflict as to which one should be selected.
Yonan Inc. is considering Projects S and L, whose cash flows are shown below. These projects are mutually exclusive, equally risky, and not repeatable. If the decision is made by choosing the project with the shorter payback, some value may be forgone. How much value will be lost in this instance? Note that under some conditions choosing projects on the basis of the shorter payback will not cause value to be lost.

Ehrmann Data Systems is considering a project that has the following cash flow and WACC data. What is the project's MIRR? Note that a project's projected MIRR can be less than the WACC (and even negative), in which case it will be rejected.

The payback method helps firms establish and identify a maximum acceptable payback period that helps in their capital budgeting decisions. Consider the case of Cold Goose Metal Works Inc.: Cold Goose Metal Works Inc. is a small firm, and several of its managers are worried about how soon the firm will be able to recover its initial investment from Project Beta’s expected future cash flows. To answer this question, Cold Goose’s CFO has asked that you compute the project’s payback period using the following expected net cash flows and assuming that the cash flows are received evenly throughout each year. Complete the following table and compute the project’s conventional payback period. For full credit, complete the entire table. (Note: Round the conventional payback period to the nearest two decimal places. If your answer is negative use a minus sign.) Year 0 Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Expected cash flow -$4,500,000 $1,800,000 $3,825,000 $1,575,000 Cumulative…

Barry Company is considering a project that has the following cash flow and WACC data. What is the project's NPV?

Last month, Company Z analyzed a project whose cash flows are shown below. However, before the decision to accept or reject the project, the Federal Reserve took actions that changed interest rates (and, therefore, the firm's WACC). The Fed's actions did not affect the forecasted cash flows. By how much did the change in the WACC affect the project's forecasted NPV?

Green Caterpillar Garden Supplies Inc. is a small firm, and several of its managers are worried about how soon the firm will be able to recover its initial investment from Project Delta’s expected future cash flows. To answer this question, Green Caterpillar’s CFO has asked that you compute the project’s payback period using the following expected net cash flows and assuming that the cash flows are received evenly throughout each year. Complete the following table and compute the project’s conventional payback period. Round the payback period to the nearest two decimal places.

The Federal Reserve recently shifted its monetary policy causing Lasik Vision’s WACC to change. Lasik had recently analyzed the project whose cash flow are shown below. However, the CFO wants to reconsider this and all other proposed projects in view of the Fed action. How much did the changed WACC caused forecasted and NVP to change? assume that the Fed action does not affect the cash flows and note that a project’s projected NPV can be negative, in which case it should be rejected. (Hint: you need to find the NPVs under WACC = 7% and 10%). New WACC= 7% Old WACC= 10% Year: 0 1 2 3 Cash flows: ($1,000) $500 $520 $540
