Internal rate of return (IRR) is a projected rate of return for a particular project based on the given incremental cash flows of the project. This method considers all the cash flows of the particular project and adjusts the
Payback period refers to the number of periods it will take to recover the initial investments.
Net present value (NPV) refers to the discounted value of the future cash flows at present. The company should accept the project even if the net present value is positive or greater than zero. If there are two mutually exclusive projects, then the company has to select the project that has a higher net present value.
Accounting breakeven is a sales point at which, there is no profit or loss. It is the most widely used measure of the breakeven point.

Introduction:
Cash breakeven specifies a sales level which can result in a zero operating cash flow.
c)
To determine: The internal rate of return (IRR) of the project, payback period, and net present value of the project based on the financial breakeven level of output.
Introduction:
Financial breakeven is a point that occurs at the time when a particular project breaks even on a financial basis. This means that the net present value is zero.

- Ehrmann Data Systems is considering a project that has the following cash flow and WACC data. What is the project's MIRR? Note that a project's projected MIRR can be less than the WACC (and even negative), in which case it will be rejected. WACC: 10.00% Year Cash flows 10.32% 11.35% 12.50% O 13.78% O 14.20% 0 -$2,000 1 $800 2 $800 3 $1,000arrow_forwardBasic NPV methods tell us that the value of a project today is NPV0. Time value of money issues also lead us to believe that if we choose not to do the project that it will be worth NPV1 one period from now, such that NPV0 > NPV1. Why then do we see some firms choosing to defer taking on a project?arrow_forwardmni.4arrow_forward
- A project under consideration has the following cash flows: Cash Year Flow 0 $27,300 1 11,300 2 14,300 3 10,300 What is the NPV for the project if the required return is 10 percent? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) NPV At a required return of 10 percent, should the firm accept this project? No Yes What is the NPV for the project if the required return is 26 percent? (A negative answer should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) NPV At a required return of 26 percent, should the firm accept this project? Yesarrow_forwardMoving to another question will save this response. Question 4 XYZ is evaluating a project that would require an initial investment of $74,900.00 today. The project is expected to produce annual cash flows of $8,900.00 each year forever with the first annual cash flow expected in 1 year. The NPV of the project is $7,100.00. What is the IRR of the project? O 10.85% (plus or minus 0.02 percentage points) O 11.88% (plus or minus 0.02 percentage points) O 9.48% (plus or minus 0.02 percentage points) O 13.13% (plus or minus 0.02 percentage points) O None of the above is within 0.02 percentage points of the correct answer A Moving to another question will save this response.arrow_forwardNonearrow_forward
- 7. The NPV and payback period What information does the payback period provide? Suppose ABC Telecom Inc.’s CFO is evaluating a project with the following cash inflows. She does not know the project’s initial cost; however, she does know that the project’s regular payback period is 2.5 years. Year Cash Flow Year 1 $350,000 Year 2 $500,000 Year 3 $500,000 Year 4 $400,000 If the project’s weighted average cost of capital (WACC) is 10%, what is its NPV? $280,268 $224,214 $252,241 $322,308 Which of the following statements indicate a disadvantage of using the discounted payback period for capital budgeting decisions? Check all that apply. The discounted payback period does not take the project’s entire life into account. The discounted payback period is calculated using net income instead of cash flows. The discounted payback period does not take the time value of money into account.arrow_forwardM4arrow_forwardXYZ Computer Systems is considering a project that has the following cash flow data.
