A firm with a WACC of 6% has a choice between Project A which has a NPV of $45,000 and IRR of 10% and Project B which has a NPV of $80,000 and IRR of 8%. If the projects are mutually exclusive, which project should be chosen? Project A Project B Both projects Neither project
You must analyze two projects, X and Y. Each project costs$10,000, and the firm’s WACC is 12%. The expected cash flows are as follows:a. Calculate each project’s NPV, IRR, MIRR, payback, and discounted payback.b. Which project(s) should be accepted if they are independent?c. Which project(s) should be accepted if they are mutually exclusive?d. How might a change in the WACC produce a conflict between the NPV and IRR rankingsof the two projects? Would there be a conflict if WACC were 5%? (Hint: Plot theNPV profiles. The crossover rate is 6.21875%.)e. Why does the conflict exist?
Project S requires an initial outlay at t = 0 of $16,000, and its expected cash flows would be $5,000 per year for 5 years. Mutually exclusive Project L requires an initial outlay at t = 0 of $30,500, and its expected cash flows would be $9,450 per year for 5 years. If both projects have a WACC of 16%, which project would you recommend? Select the correct answer. O a. Project S, because the NPVS > NPVL. O b. Both Projects S and L, because both projects have NPV's > 0. c. Both Projects S and L, because both projects have IRR's > 0. O d. Project L, because the NPVL > NPVS. O e. Neither Project S nor L, because each project's NPV < 0.

Project H requires an initial investment of 100,000 dollars and it produces annual cash flows of 50,000, 40,000, and 30,000. Project T requires an initial investment of 100,000 dollars and it produces annual cash flows of 30,000, 40,000, and 50,000. If the required rate of return is greater than 0% and the projects are mutually exclusive: Select one: a. H and T are equally attractive. b. H will always be preferable to T. c. The project rankings will change with different discount rates. d. T will always be preferable to H.
Project Q requires an initial outlay at t = 0 of $20,000, and its expected cash flows would be $5,000 per year for 5 years. Mutually exclusive Project L requires an initial outlay at t = 0 of $26,000, and its expected cash flows would be $13,600 per year for 5 years. If both projects have a WACC of 16%, which project would you recommend? Select the correct answer. a. Neither Project S nor L, since each project's NPV < 0. b. Project S, since the NPVS > NPVL. c. Project L, since the NPVL > NPVS. d. Both Projects S and L, since both projects have IRR's > 0. e. Both Projects S and L, since both projects have NPV's > 0.

If both projects have a WACC of 14%, which project would you recommend? Select the correct answer. Ca. Project S, because the NPVs > NPVL. Ob. Both Projects S and L, because both projects have IRR's > 0. Oc. Both Projects S and L, because both projects have NPV's > 0. Od. Project I because the NPVL > NPVs. Oe. Neither Project S nor L, because each project's NPV < 0.
