Question
Chapter 11, Problem 16P
a.
Summary Introduction
To calculate: The NPV and IRR of Project A and Project B.
Introduction:
Mutually Exclusive Projects:
It refers to the group of projects in which, if one project is accepted it will automatically imply the rejection of rest. It refers to those projects for which investment cannot be made together.
It is a method under capital budgeting which includes the calculation of net present value of the project in which the company is investing. The calculation is done by calculating the difference between the value of
It refers to the rate of return that is computed by the company to make a decision regarding the selection of a project for investment. This rate provides the basis for selection of projects with lower cost of capital and rejection of project with higher cost of capital.
b.
Summary Introduction
To prepare: The NPV profiles of the two plans and the crossover rate.
Introduction:
Crossover Rate:
It refers to that discounted rate at which the NPV of the two projects becomes equal. It is a cost of capital of the project.
c.
Summary Introduction
To calculate: Crossover rate of the two plans.
d.
Summary Introduction
To explain: The reason of NPV being better than IRR for capital budgeting decisions.
