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).

If mutually exclusive projects with normal cash flows are being analyzed, the net present value (NPV) and internal rate of return (IRR) methods always agree. Projects Y and Z are mutually exclusive projects. Their cash flows and NPV profiles are shown as follows. Year Project Y Project Z 0 -$1,500 -$1,500 1 $200 $900 2 $400 $600 3 $600 $300 4 $1,000 $200 NPV (Dollars) 800 600 Project Y 400 Project Z 200 -200 0246 8 10 12 14 16 18 20 COST OF CAPITAL (Percent) If the weighted average cost of capital (WACC) for each project is 14%, do the NPV and IRR methods agree or conflict? O The methods agree. O The methods conflict.
