To calculate: The NPV and IRR of the given project with and without mitigation.
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 calculation of net present value of the project in which 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.
To identify: The way in which the environmental effects should be dealt with when this project is evaluated
c.
To explain: Whether the project should be undertaken or not with or without mitigation.

The outlay required is 2,293,200. The equipment is expected to last five years and will have no salvage value. The expected cash flows associated with the project are as follows: Required: 1. Compute the projects payback period. 2. Compute the projects accounting rate of return. 3. Compute the projects net present value, assuming a required rate of return of 10 percent. 4. Compute the projects internal rate of return.arrow_forwardChart the net present value (NPV) of these projects.

- S T m Computer Disk Duplicators, Inc. has been considering several capital investment proposals for the year beginning in 2022. For each investment proposal, the relevant cash flows and other relevant financial data are summarized in the table below. New assets will be depreciated under the MACRS system rather than being fully expensed right away. In the case of a replacement decision, the total installed cost of the equipment will be partially offset by the sale of existing equipment. The firm is subject to a 40 percent tax rate on ordinary income and on long-term capital gains. The firm's cost of capital is 15 percent.

Should the project be accepted if WACC = 10%? If WACC = 20%? Explain your reasoning.c. Think of some other capital budgeting situations in which negative cash flows duringor at the end of the project’s life might lead to multiple IRRs.d. What is the project’s MIRR at WACC = 10%? At WACC =20%? Does MIRR lead tothe same accept/reject decision for this project as the NPV method? Does the MIRRmethod always lead to the same accept/reject decision as NPV?
