Question

You are trying to choose between two mutually exclusive projects whose expected cash flows are in the following table, You estimate the risk-adjusted WACC for both projects at 9%. What should you do?

Accept project A because it has the higher NPV. Accept either project because they both offer the same net cash inflows. Accept project B because it has a lower IRR

Moussawi Enterprises, which finances only with equity from retained earnings, is considering two large capital budgeting projects, and its CFO hired you to assist in deciding whether one, both, or neither of the projects should be accepted. You have the following information: (1) rRF = 5.5%; RPM = 6%; and b = 0.8. (2) The company adds 3% to the corporate WACC when it evaluates relatively risky projects, and it deducts 1% from the WACC when evaluating relatively safe projects. (3) Project S is relatively safe, it costs $10,000, and its expected rate of return is 8%, while Project R is relatively risky, it costs $15,000, and its expected rate of return is 12%. If these are the only two projects under consideration, how large should the capital budget be?

Quantitative Problem: Bellinger Industries is considering two projects for inclusion in its capital budget, and you have been asked to do the analysis. Both projects' after-tax cash flows are shown on the time line below. Depreciation, salvage values, net operating working capital requirements, and tax effects are all included in these cash flows. Both projects have 4-year lives, and they have risk characteristics similar to the firm's average project. Bellinger's WACC is 12%. 0 1 2 3 4 Project A -1,150, 650, 320 , 270 , 390 Project B -1,150 , 250, 255 , 420, 840 What is Project A’s IRR? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to two decimal places. _____% What is Project B's IRR? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to two decimal places. ____% If the projects were independent, which project(s) would be accepted according to the IRR method? -Select-Neither Project A Project B Both projects A and B If the projects were mutually exclusive, which project(s) would be accepted according to the IRR method? -Select-Neither Project A Project B Both projects A and B Could there be a conflict with project acceptance between the NPV and IRR approaches when projects are mutually exclusive? -Select-Yes or No The reason is : The NPV and IRR approaches use the same reinvestment rate assumption so both approaches reach the same project acceptance when mutually projects are considered OR the NPV and IRR approaches use different reinvestment rate assumptions so there can be a conflict in project acceptance when mutually exclusive projects are considered. Reinvestment at the -Select-IRR or WACC is the superior assumption, so when mutually exclusive projects are evaluated the -Select-NPV or IRR approach should be used for the capital budgeting decision.

00:01 Mulsawi enterprises which finances only with equity from retained earnings is considering too large capital budgeting projects and its cfo hired you to assist in deciding whether one both or neither of the projects should be accepted.
00:17 We have the following information, we have rf rpm and we have b.
00:24 The company adds 3 % to the corporate wacc when evaluates relatively risk projects and it deducts 1 % from that when evaluating safe projects.
00:37 Now project s is relatively safe and we're given the cost and the expected rate and we are told that project r is relatively risky and it costs more and its return is higher.
00:48 If these are only two projects under consideration how large should the capital budget be? so project s, project s costs $10 ,000 and its expected rate of return is 8%...
