Textbook Question
Chapter 10, Problem 11MC
In an unrelated analysis, you have the opportunity to choose between the following two mutually exclusive projects, Project T (which lasts for 2 years) and Project F (which lasts for 4 years):
The projects provide a necessary service, so whichever one is selected is expected to be repeated into the foreseeable future. Both projects have a 10% cost of capital.
- (1) What is each project’s initial
NPV without replication? - (2) What is each project’s equivalent annual
annuity ? - (3) Apply the replacement chain approach to determine the projects’ extended NPVs. Which project should be chosen?
- (4) Assume that the cost to replicate Project T in 2 years will increase to $105,000 due to inflation. How should the analysis be handled now, and which project should be chosen?

Students have asked these similar questions
1. Calculate the net present value for each project. 2. Calculate the simple rate of return for each product.3. Which of the two projects (if either) would you recommend that Batelco Inc. accept? Why?
Please answer the following questions in detail, provide examples whenever applicable, provide in-text citations.
(TABLE IMAGE ATTACHED)
What is the payback period on each of the above projects?
Given that you wish to use the payback rule with a cutoff period of two years, which projects would you accept?
If you use a cutoff period of three years, which projects would you accept?
If the opportunity cost of capital is 10%, which projects have positive NPVs?
If a firm uses a single cutoff period for all projects, it is likely to accept too many short-lived projects.” True or false?
If the firm uses the discounted-payback rule, will it accept any negative-NPV projects? Will it turn down any positive NPV projects?
Suppose you have to choose between two mutually exclusive investment projects with the following
cash flows (all numbers are in $1,000s):
[image attached]
Both projects have a discount rate of 9%. Determine the Payback Period, Net Present Value (NPV)
and the IRR for each project. Which is the better project based on NPV? And how can you use the
IRR criterion to obtain the correct (i.e., value maximizing) project choice?
