Skiba Company is thinking about two different modifications to its current manufacturing process. The after-tax cash flows associated with the two investments follow:

Year   Project I   Project II
0   $(100,000)   $(100,000)
1 —           63,857
2   134,560     63,857

 

Skiba's cost of capital is 10%.

Required:

1.  Compute the NPV and the IRR for each investment. Round present value calculations and your final NPV answers to the nearest dollar. Round IRR answers to the nearest whole percent.

  NPV IRR
Project I $fill in the blank 1 fill in the blank 2 %
Project II $fill in the blank 3 fill in the blank 4 %

2. Conceptual Connection: Explain why the project with the larger NPV is the correct choice for Skiba.

NPV is an absolute profitability  measure and reveals how much the value of the firm will change for each project. IRR gives a measure of relative profitability . Thus, since NPV reveals the total wealth change attributable to each project, it is preferred to the IRR measure.
