- What information does the payback period provide? Suppose you are evaluating a project with the expected future cash inflows shown in the following table. Your boss has asked you to calculate the project's net present value (NPV). You don't know the project's initial cost, but you do know the project's regular, or conventional, payback period is 2.50 years. If the project's weighted average cost of capital (WACC) is 9%, the project's NPV (rounded to the nearest dollar) is: $355,048 $287,420 $405,769 $338,141 Which of the following statements indicate a disadvantage of using the regular payback period (not the discounted payback period) for capital budgeting decisions? Check all that apply. The payback period does not take the time value of money into account. The payback period is calculated using net income instead of cash flows. The payback period does not take the project's entire life into account.arrow_forwardAlpesharrow_forward1. Calculate the net present value for each project. 2.

What issues arise when evaluating projects with “non-conventional” cash flows?

The required rate of return on projects of both of their risk class is 8 percent, and that the maximum allowable payback and discounted payback statistic for the projects are 2 and 3 years, respectively.

- Please answer the following questions in detail, provide examples whenever applicable, provide in-text citations. (TABLE IMAGE ATTACHED) What is the payback period on each of the above projects? Given that you wish to use the payback rule with a cutoff period of two years, which projects would you accept? If you use a cutoff period of three years, which projects would you accept? If the opportunity cost of capital is 10%, which projects have positive NPVs? If a firm uses a single cutoff period for all projects, it is likely to accept too many short-lived projects.” True or false? If the firm uses the discounted-payback rule, will it accept any negative-NPV projects? Will it turn down any positive NPV projects?arrow_forwardWhich of the following projects would you feel safest in accepting? Assume the opportunity cost of capital is 12% for each project. ☐(a) “Project A” that has a small, but negative, NPV. ☐(b) “Project B” that has a positive NPV when discounted at 10%. ☐(c) “Project C” that has a cost of capital that exceeds its internal rate of return. ☐(d) “Project D” that has a zero NPV when discounted at 14%. darrow_forwardExplain how the internal rate of return and net present value are related. If a project has an NPV of $50,000 using a 10 percent discount factor, what does this imply about that project's IRR?arrow_forward
