Re: Capital-Budgeting Analysis

 

 

 

Provide an evaluation of two proposed projects, both with 5-year expected lives and identical initial outlays of $110,000. Both of these projects involve additions to Caledonia’s highly successful Avalon produce line, and as a result, the required rate of return on both projects has been established at 12 percent. The expected free cash flows from each project are as follows:

 

 

 

PROJECT A               PROJECT B

 

Initial outlay                                        -$110,000                    -$110,000

 

Inflow year 1                                      20,000                         40,000

 

Inflow year 2                                      30,000                         40,000

 

Inflow year 3                                      40,000                         40,000

 

Inflow year 4                                      50,000                         40,000

 

Inflow year 5                                      70,000                         40,000

  3. What is the payback period on each project? If Caledonia imposes a 3-year maximum acceptable payback period, which of these projects should be accepted?
  4. What are the criticisms of the payback period?
  5. Determine the NPV for each of these projects. Should they accepted?
  6. Describe the login behind the NPV
  7. Determine the PI for each of these projects. Should they be accepted?
  8. Would you expect the NPV and PI methods to give consistent accept/reject decisions? Why or why not?
  9. What would happen to the NPV and PI for each project if the required rate of return increased? If the required rate of return decreased?
  10. Determine the IRR for each project. Should they be accepted?
  11. How does a change in the required rate of return affect the project’s internal rate of return?
  12. What reinvestment rate assumptions are implicitly made by the NPV and IRR methods? Which one is better/
