Document Summary

These are some points i want to emphasize as you take the midterm. Hopefully these help clarify some concepts as well as provide some intuiion. Please ask any quesions you like before the midterm window begins on march 7. The process for capital budgeing evaluaion, whether it"s payback period, npv or irr that you want to calculate, starts with the same steps. Step 1: determine which cash lows are relevant and which are not. Remember, cost savings are treated as cash inlows and cannibalizaion of sales or proits are treated as cash ouflows. Step 2: place each of these cash lows in the correct ime period. Step 3: net cash inlows and ouflows so that you have one net cash low igure for each period. This is the point where payback period, npv and irr calculaions diverge. Payback period simply takes the cumulaive cash lows and inds how long it takes them to reach zero.

Problem 2

IRR, investment life, and cash inflows Oak enterprise accepts projects earning more than the firms 15% cost of capital. Oak is currently considering a 10 year project that provides annual cash inflows of $50,000 and requires an initial investment of $328,300

Deter the IRR of the project is it acceptable

Assuming that the cash inflos continue to be $50,000 per year how many additional years would the flows have to continue to make the project acceptable (that is, to make it have an IRR of 15%?

A. the project IRR is ___%

Is the project acceptable?

Yes or no

B. assuming that the cash inflows continue to be $50,000 per year the number of additional years the flows would have to continue to make the project acceptable at the 15% discount rate is ____ additional years

C) with the given life, initial investment and cost of capital the minimum annual cash inflow that the firm should accept is $______

You are a financial analyst for the Waffle Company. The director of capital budgeting has asked you to analyze two proposed capital investments, Projects A and B. Each project has a cost of $50,000, and the cost of capital for each is 10%.

The projects’ expected net cash flows are as follows:

	Expected Net Cash Flows
Year	Project A	Project B
0	($50,000)	($50,000)
1	25,000	15,000
2	20,000	15,000
3	10,000	15,000
4	5,000	15,000
5	5,000	15,000

Calculate each project’s payback period, net present value (NPV), internal rate of return (IRR), modified internal rate of return (MIRR), and profitability index (PI).

Please explain and show the work to determine IRR calculation. Why is it 16.67% and not 29% or 33%? I have gotten two different answers.

PLEASE WORK OUT PROBLEM AND SHOW WORK The company can purchase new planning software for $3,600. The software (asset) has a two-year life, will produce a savings of $600 in the first year and $4,200 in the second year. The discount rate is 15%. Calculate the project's payback and discounted payback period assuming steady cash flows. Also calculate the project's NPV and IRR. Should the project be funded? In light of the previous information provided, is the 15% discount rate justified. Explain your answer. Concept Check: Payback analysis is the first step in project evaluation. The calculation enables you to understand if you can simply cover the investment within a certain time period. When doing Discounted Payback analysis or NPV analysis, a discounting rate is used to reduce future cash flows to a present value. The discount rate can be determined in many ways; existing cost of capital, projected cost of capital, desired return rate, etc as long as you justify what you wish to use for discounting cash flows and are consistent in your application evaluation will be easier. Helpful Hint: IRR is discovered when you calculate an NPV where the result is zero (or as close to zero as you can get); this is an iterative process of adjusting the discount rate until you arrive at zero for an NPV. The best thing to do is first calculate NPV and see how far away from zero you are â you can then increase or decrease the discount rate until your NPV = zero.
