Answer to question 1?
We have discussed and used various methods to value projects. Three of them are net present value (NPV), internal rate of return (IRR) and payback method. Briefly state what information each method provides. Having these tools in hand, describe what would you do as a financial manager to value several projects that you might invest in i) if they are independent projects and you have sufficient resources to invest in all of them ii) if they are mutually exclusive projects (at most one of them can be realized).
Write down the feasibility study of your project based on three main points i.e. financial,
economical, technical and business perspective of the project in market?
• Feasibility refers to viability
• It is atechnique to determine the viability of a business problem or improvement
opportunity
• It tells us whether a project is worth the investment or not
The study indicates that not every project is doable and hence;
it is also not necessary that every project should be taken up

- You are considering the following projects but have limited funds to invest and can't take them all. Using the profitability index, rank the projects in the order in which you would accept them. That is, rank them from best to worst. Project Initial Investment NPVarrow_forwardProblem #2 Lebanon Metal Company (LMC), a manufacturer of various metal parts, must decide whether to enter the competition to become the supplier of transmission housings for Gulf Electric, a company that produces the housings in its own in-house manufacturing To compete, LMC must purchase a new forge that will cost $ 1 50,000. If LMC gets the order, it may be able to sell as many as 3,000 units per year to Gulf Electric for $60 each, and costs will be $15 per unit. The firm expects that the project will have about five-year product life. The firm also estimates that the amount ordered by Gulf Electric in the first year will be ordered in each of the subsequent four years. The initial investment can be depreciated on a MACRS-GDS basis over a 5-year period, and the tax-rate is expected to remain 40%. At the end of five years, the forge is expected to retain a market value of $50,000 at the end of year 5. LMC's before tax MARR is 15% per year.arrow_forwardI need help matching the defintions with the words, thank you.arrow_forward

- Firms use several techniques to estimate risk, see Chapter 8. After describing these techniques, explain how firms incorporate risk in the investment evaluation process. Give examples of alternative ways a firm can use to estimate the cost of equity, and by extension the Weighted-Average Cost of Capital (WACC or Kw). Be specific as to the reasons firms use multiple hurdle rates when considering different investment projects.arrow_forwardSeveral proposed capital projects which are economically acceptable may have to be ranked due to constraints in financial resources. In ranking these projects, the least pertinent is this statement. A. A ranking procedure on the basis of quantitative criteria may be established by specifying a minimum desired rate of return, which rate is used in calculating the net present value of each project. B. In selecting the required rate of return, one may either calculate the organization’s cost of capital or use a rate generally acceptable in the industry. C. If the internal rate of return method is used in the capital rationing problem, the higher the rate, the better the project. D. If the net present value method is used, the profitability index is calculated to rank the projects. The lower the index, the better the project.arrow_forwarda) Calculate the payback for both the Edinburgh and Newcastle upon Tynecontracts. b) Critically evaluate the payback technique c) Advise Flyers plc’s senior executive team on the comments made by ChangYing Simmonds and Travis van Riemsdyk.
