- A company is considering a 10-year capital investment project. The project has annual positive cash flows each year. The accounting manager has calculated the NPV of the same project using three different costs of capital (8%, 10% and 18 %) as discount rates. Select the most logical combination of NPVS from the choices given. Note: You cannot calculate the NPVS nor do you need to.

For this purpose, it wants to evaluate each project that have the same initial investment (cost) but different cash flows for the next three years. The following table gives information on these two projects. The discount rate to be used is 8 percent, which is the WACC for the company. Use two methods of capital budgeting: The Net Present Value (NPV) Method and the Internal Rate of Return (IRR) Method, to evaluate and compare the two projects. Based on the outcome of calculations, choose the best project A or B and explain your decision for each method. Show all your work for each method step by step.

- Barnard Manufacturing is considering three capital investment proposals. At this time, Barnard only has funds available to pursue one of the three investments. |(Click the icon to review the proposals.) Which investment should Barnard pursue at this time? Why? Since each investment requires a different initial investment and presents a positive NPV, Barnard Manufacturing should use the profitability index to compare the profitability of each investment. Select the labels for the evaluation measure you determined above. Enter the amounts into the formula, beginning with Equipment A, and calculate the amount you will use to evaluate each investment. (Enter all amounts as positive numbers. Round the evaluation measure to two decimal places, X.XX.) - X Data Table Equipment A Equipment B Equipment C Present value of net cash inflows 1,832,478 S 1,865,471 $ 2,169,724 (1,650,881) (1,516,643) (1,749,777) Initial Investment 181,597 S 348,828 S 419,947 NPV Print Donearrow_forwardHarris Company must set its investment and dividend policies for the coming year. It has three independent projects from which to choose, each of which requires a $3 million investment. These proj- ects have different levels of risk, and therefore different costs of capital.
