Chapter 11, Problem 19SP
(Risk-adjusted NPV) The Hokie Corporation is considering two mutually exclusive projects. Both require an initial outlay of $10,000 and will operate for 5 years. Project A will produce expected cash flows of $5,000 per year for years 1 through 5, whereas project B will produce expected cash flows of $6,000 per year for years 1 through 5. Because project B is the riskier of the two projects, the management of Hokie Corporation has decided to apply a required

World Trans. is considering two mutually exclusive projects. Both require an initial investment of $9,200 at t = 0. Project X has an expected life of 2 years with after-tax cash inflows of $7,000 and $7,800 at the end of Years 1 and 2, respectively. In addition, Project X can be repeated at the end of Year 2 with no changes in its cash flows. Project Y has an expected life of 4 years with after-tax cash inflows of $5,000 at the end of each of the next 4 years. Each project has a WACC of 8%.

Acme Co. is considering a four-year project that will require an initial investment of $9,000. The base-case cash flows for this project are projected to be $14,000 per year. The best-case cash flows are projected to be $21,000 per year, and the worst-case cash flows are projected to be –$2,500 per year. The company’s analysts have estimated that there is a 50% probability that the project will generate the base-case cash flows. The analysts also think that there is a 25% probability of the project generating the best-case cash flows and a 25% probability of the project generating the worst-case cash flows.

- Quorex is evaluating two mutually exclusive projects. Project A has a net investment of $48,000 and net cash flows over a six-year period of $12,500 per year (that project requires a reinvestment with the same cost and cash flow for another six years). Project B also has a net investment of $48,500, but its net cash flows of $8,640 per year will occur over a 12-year period.
