Your firm has identified three potential investment projects. The projects and their cash flows are shown here: Cash Flow Today (millions) -$10 $5 $20 Cash Flow in One Year Project (millions) $20 $5 -$10 Suppose all cash flows are certain and the risk-free interest rate is 10%. a. What is the NPV of each project? b. If the firm can choose only one of these projects, which should it choose based on the NPV decision rule? c. If the firm can choose any two of these projects, which should it choose based on the NPV decision rule? ABC
Acme Oscillators is considering an investment project that has the following rather unusual cash flow pattern. Year Cash Flow 0 yr $101 1yr -461 2yr 789 3yr -602.2 4yr 171.6 a. Calculate the project's NPV at each of the following discount rates: 0 %, 5 %, 10 %, 20 %, 30 % , 40 %, 50 %. b. What do the calculations tell you about this project's IRR? The IRR rule tells managers to invest if a project's IRR is greater than the cost of capital. If Acme Oscillators' cost of capital is 8 %, should the company accept or reject this investment? c. Notice that this project's greatest NPVs come at very high discount rates. Can you provide an intuitive explanation for that pattern?
