A firm has a capital budget of $30,000 and is considering three possible independent projects. Project A has a present outlay of $12,000 and yields $4,231 per annum for 5 years. Project B has a present outlay of $10,000 and yields $4,184 per annum for 5 years. Project C has a present outlay of $17,000 and yields $5,802 per annum for 10 years. Funds which are not allocated to one of the projects can be placed in a bank deposit.
Identify seven combinations of project investments and a bank deposits which exhaust the budget.
Which of the above combinations should the firm choose when the bank deposit rate is (i) 15% or (ii) 20%? Explain your answer and show your work.
Suppose there is no option to deposit in the bank, but the projects are "divisible" (e.g. you may have 25% of project A). Which combination should the firm choose? Explain your answer and show your work. Use 15% as the deposit rate (discount rate).
Which of the five project net cashflows presented in the table below would be considered a Conventional cashflow?
