- Are there conditions under which a firm might be better off if it were to choose a machine with a rapid traditional payback period, PB, rather than one with a larger NPV? Explain.arrow_forward1) What is the company's WACC? 2) Should the company take the projects? Assume that the projects have the same risk as an average project for your firm. 3) If one project is depended on the other in a way that the company can only take both projects, should it take it?arrow_forwardIf two mutually exclusive projects were being compared, would a high cost of capital favor the longer-term or the shorter-term project? Why? If the cost of capital declined, would that lead firms to invest more in longer-term projects or shorter-term projects? Would a decline (or an increase) in the WACC cause changes in the IRR ranking of mutually exclusive projects?Note: DONOT GIVE BREIF ANSWER USE SHORT CONCEPTUAL ANSWERarrow_forward
- e. IMPORTANT Note that from this example that a higher IRR for a nindividual alternative does not gurantee that the alternatvie is more economical than the one with a lower IRR. It is the incremental IRR value relative to the MARR that determines which alternative is more economical. The result of the incremental analysis are always the same as those of the PW,AW, or FW anaylsisarrow_forwardGive detail explanationarrow_forwardWhich project has no rate of return?arrow_forward
