Textbook Question
Chapter 11, Problem 15P
- a. Construct NPV profiles for Plans A and B, identify each project’s
IRR , and show the approximate crossover rate. - b. Is it logical to assume that the firm would take on all available independent, average-risk projects with returns greater than 12%? If all available projects with returns greater than 12% have been undertaken, does this mean that cash flows from past investments have an
opportunity cost of only 12% because all the company can do with these cash flows is to replace money that has a cost of 12%? Does this imply that the WACC is the correct reinvestment rate assumption for a project’s cash flows? Why or why not?
