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 Delta'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 two decimal places. If your answer is negative, be sure to use a minus sign in your answer.)

You are given the following cash flow information for a project. Given this information, and assuming that the correct risk-adjusted discount rate (WACC) to use is 14 percent, while the firm's true reinvestment rate is 23 percent, determine the modified net present value (MNPV) for this project.

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. Be sure to complete the entire table—even if the values exceed the point at which the cost of the project is recovered.

The net present value (NPV) rule is considered one of the most common and preferred criteria that generally lead to good investment decisions. Consider this case: Suppose Hungry Whale Electronics is evaluating a proposed capital budgeting project (project Alpha) that will require an initial investment of $500,000. The project is expected to generate the following net cash flows: Year Cash Flow Year 1 $300,000 Year 2 $475,000 Year 3 $500,000 Year 4 $400,000 Hungry Whale Electronics’s weighted average cost of capital is 9%, and project Alpha has the same risk as the firm’s average project. Based on the cash flows, what is project Alpha’s net present value (NPV)? $344,489 $844,489 $1,319,489 $971,162 Making the accept or reject decision Hungry Whale Electronics’s decision to accept or reject project Alpha is independent of its decisions on other projects. If the firm follows the NPV method, it should project Alpha.…
Yokam Company is considering two alternative projects. Project 1 requires an initial investment of $470,000 and has a present value of all its cash flows of $2,350,000.

Connor Corporation is considering two projects (see below). For your analysis, assume these projects are mutually exclusive with a required rate of return of 12%. project 1 project 2 initial investment $(510,000) $(685,000) cash flow year 1 485,000 610,000 Compute the following for each project: NPV (net present value) PI (profitability index) IRR (internal rate of return) Based on your analysis, answer the following questions : Which is the best choice? Why? Which project should be selected and why? If the projects had the same IRR amounts but different NPV totals, then how would you know which project to select? Explain.
If Fuzzy Button Clothing Company's managers select projects based on the MIRR criterion, they should this independent project. Which of the following statements best describes the difference between the IRR method and the MIRR method? O The IRR method uses the present value of the initial investment to calculate the IRR. The MIRR method uses the terminal value of the initial investment to calculate the MIRR. O The IRR method uses only cash inflows to calculate the IRR. The MIRR method uses both cash inflows and cash outflows to calculate the MIRR. O The IRR method assumes that cash flows are reinvested at a rate of return equal to the IRR. The MIRR method assumes that cash flows are reinvested at a rate of return equal to the cost of capital.
