To construct: NPV profile for the given project.
Introduction:
Capital Budgeting:
It refers to the long-term investment decisions that has been taken by the top management of a company and that are irreversible in nature. These decisions require investment of large amount of cash of the company.
It is a method under capital budgeting which includes the computation of the net present value of the project in which company is investing. The calculation is done by calculating the difference between the value of
b.
To explain: Whether the project should be accepted or not at 10% WACC and 20% WACC.
c.
To identify: A situation where the negative cash flows during or at the last of the project’s life might lead to multiple
Introduction:
Internal Rate of Return (IRR):
It refers to the rate of return that is computed by the company to make a decision of selection of a project for investment. This rate provides the basis for selection of projects with a lower cost of capital and rejection of project with a higher cost of capital.
d.
To calculate: MIRR of the project at 10% and 20% WACC.
Introduction:
Modified Internal
It refers to the rate of return that is computed by the company to make a decision of selection and ranking of a project for investment. This is a modified version of IRR with reinvestment of cash flows at the cost of capital.

- The Ulmer Uranium Company is deciding whether or not to open a strip mine whose net cost is $4.4 million. Net cash inflows are expected to be $27.7 million, all coming at the end of Year 1. The land must be returned to its natural state at a cost of $25 million, payable at the end of Year 2. Plot the project’s NPV profile. Should the project be accepted if r = 8%? If r = 14%? Explain your reasoning. Can you think of some other capital budgeting situations in which negative cash flows during or at the end of the project’s life might lead to multiple IRRs? What is the project’s MIRR at r = 8%? At r = 14%? Does the MIRR method lead to the same accept-reject decision as the NPV method?arrow_forwardGallant Sports s considering the purchase of a new rock-climbing facility. The company estimates that the construction will require an initial outlay of $350,000. Other cash flows are estimated as follows: Assuming the company limits its analysis to four years due to economic uncertainties, determine the net present value of the rock-climbing facility. Should the company develop the facility if the required rate of return is 6%?arrow_forwardRedbird Company is considering a project with an initial investment of $265,000 in new equipment that will yield annual net cash flows of $45,800 each year over its seven-year life. The companys minimum required rate of return is 8%. What is the internal rate of return? Should Redbird accept the project based on IRR?arrow_forward
- Net present value-unequal lives Bunker Hill Mining Company has two competing proposals: a processing mill and an electric shovel. Both pieces of equipment have an initial investment of 750,000. The net cash flows estimated for the two proposals are as follows: The estimated residual value of the processing mill at the end of Year 4 is 280,000. Determine which equipment should be favored, comparing the net present values of the two proposals and assuming a minimum rate of return of 15%.

This investment requires an initial outlay of $105,000 and will generate net cash inflows of $19,000 per year for 8 years. a. What is the project's NPV using a discount rate of 8 percent? Should the project be accepted? Why or why not? b. What is the project's NPV using a discount rate of 17 percent? Should the project be accepted? Why or why not? c. What is this project's internal rate of return? Should the project be accepted? Why or why not?arrow_forwardPorter Company is analyzing two potential Investments.

- You are analyzing a proposed project and have compiled the following information: WACC (Required Return): 8.00% Year 1 3 -$200,000 $70,000 $80,000 $90,000 Cash flows Required payback period: 2 years Required discounted payback period: 2.5 years What is the project's IRR? Would the company accept or reject the project based on the IRR criterion? 8.00%; reject 8.00%; accept 9.28%; reject O 9.28%; acceptarrow_forwardThe 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_forwardPorter Company is analyzing two potential investments Initial investment Net cash flow: Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Year 4 Project X Project Y $ 75,900 $ 64,000 26,000 26,000 26,000 4,400 28,000 28,000 20,000 If the company is using the payback period method, and it requires a payback of three years or less, which project(s) should be selected? 0arrow_forward
