NPV Practice:
1. You have two possible projects with a cost of capital of 8% and the following expected cash flows:
Expected Net Cash Flows
Year Franchise L Franchise S
0 ($100) ($100)
1 10 70
2 60 50
3 80 20
What is the NPV of each project? According to NPV, which project would you choose if they are mutually exclusive?
What is each project’s IRR? According to IRR, which project would you choose?
What is each project’s Modified IRR? If you use Modified IRR as your decision rule, which do you choose? Does this mirror the previous decision based on NPV or IRR?
What is the Profitability Index for each project?
What is the payback period for each project? What is the discounted payback for each project?
For each method above, consider the pros and cons of the method used for project decision-making.
2. You have two projects with a 10% cost of capital with the following expected CFs:
Expected Net Cash Flows
Year Project T Project F
0 ($100,000) ($100,000)
1 60,000 33,500
2 60,000 33,500
3 — 33,500
4 — 33,500
What is each project’s NPV without replication?
What is each project’s equivalent annuity?
