Kirksville Company is considering two mutually exclusive investments. The projects' expected net cash flows are as follows: Year Expected Net Cash Flows Project A Project B 0 -$1,300 -$405 1 $300 $100 2 $200 $100 3 $100 $100 4 $600 $100 5 $600 $100 Assume the required rate of return is 10%.
(1) Assuming that the projected future net cash flows for each project (from year 1 through 7) are net income, find the AAR? If you use the AAR method for capital budgeting analysis, which project would you choose? The target AAR is 10%. Explain.
(2) Find the crossover rate. You are absolutely required to provide the equation. (3) Sketch the NPV profile for both projects. At least 5 points should be plotted.
