Projects A and B are mutually exclusive and have an initial cost of $82,000 each. Project A provides cash inflows of $34,000 a year for three years while Project B produces a cash inflow of $115,000 in Year 3. Which project(s) should be accepted if the discount rate is 11.7 percent? What if the discount rate is 13.5 percent? A) Accept A at both discount rates B) Accept A at 11.7 percent and neither at 13.5 percent C Accept B at both discount rates D) Accept both at 11.7 percent and neither at 13.5 percent E) Accept B at 11.7 percent and neither at 13.5 percent

Consider the following two mutually exclusive projects: The required return is 15 percent for both projects. Which one of the following statements related to these projects is correct? Answer a. Because both the IRR and the PI imply accepting Project B, that project should be accepted. b. The profitability rule implies accepting Project A. c. The IRR decision rule should be used as the basis for selecting the project in this situation. d. Only NPV implies accepting Project A. e. NPV, IRR, and PI all imply accepting Project A. Year 0 1 2 3 4 Cash Flow (A) -$318,844 27,700 56,000 55,000 399,000 Cash Flow (B) -$27,476 9,057 10,536 11,849 13,814

You are considering two independent projects, Project A and Project B. The initial cash outlay associated with Project A is $50,000 and the initial cash outlay associated with Project B is $70,000. The discount rate on both projects is 12 percent. The expected annual cash flows from each project are as follows: Year Project A Project B 0 $(50,000) $(70,000) 1 $12,000 $13,000 2 $12,000 $13,000 3 $12,000 $13,000 4 $12,000 $13,000 5 $12,000 $13,000 6 $12,000 $13,000 Calculate the NPV, PI, and IRR for each project and indicate if the project should be accepted or not. Discuss the differences between the three values you found - compare and contrast these three methods.
