Chapter 10, Problem 30SP
(Size-disparity problem) The D. Dorner Farms Corporation is considering purchasing one of two fertilizer-herbicides for the upcoming year. The mom expensive of the two is better and will produce a higher yield. Assume these projects are mutually exclusive and that the required
- a. Calculate the
NPV of each project. - b. Calculate the PI of each project.
- c. Calculate the
IRR of each project. - d. If there is no capital-rationing constraint, which project should be selected? If there is a capital-rationing constraint, how should the decision be made?

Consider two investment projects, which both require an upfront investment of $9 million, and both of which pay a constant positive amount each year for the next 9
years. Under what conditions can you rank these projects by comparing their IRRS?
(Select the best choice below.)
O A. There are no conditions under which you can use the IRR to rank projects.
O B. Ranking by IRR will work in this case so long as the projects' cash flows do not decrease from year to year.
O C. Ranking by IRR will work in this case so long as the projects' cash flows do not increase from year to year.
O D. Ranking by IRR will work in this case so long as the projects have the same risk.
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?
Consider the following projects, X and Y where the firm can only choose one. Project X costs $600 and has cash flows of $400 in each of the next 2 years. Project Y also costs $600, and generates cash flows of $500 and $275 for the next 2 years, respectively. Which investment should the firm choose if the cost of capital is 15 percent?
Project X, since it has a higher NPV than Project Y
Project Y, since it has a higher NPV than Project X
neither, since both the projects have negative NPV
neither, since both the projects have positive NPV
