You are considering two mutually exclusive projects with the following cash flows. Which project(s) should you accept if the dis

larisa [96]

Answer:

NPV Project A = - $825.31

NPV Project B = $6119.89

So, at a discount rate of 8.5%, Project B should be accepted.

NPV Project A = - $6804

Npv Project B = - $3764.48

So, at a discount rate of 13%, neither of the projects should be accepted.

Explanation:

One of the methods to evaluate a project is to determine the NPV or Net Present Value from the project. If a project provides a positive NPV after discounting the cash flows from the project at a set discount rate, the project should be accepted. If the project gives a negative NPV, the project should be discarded.

The NPV is calculated as follows,

NPV = CF1 / (1+r) + CF2 / (1+r)^2 + ... + CFn / (1+r)^n - Initial cost

Where,

CF1, CF2, ... represents the cash flows in year 1 and year 2 and so on
r is the discount rate

<u>At 8.5% discount rate</u>

NPV Project A = 31000/(1+0.085) + 31000/(1+0.085)^2 + 31000/(1+0.085)^3 - 80000

NPV Project A = - $825.31

NPV Project B = 110000 / (1+0.085)^3 - 80000

NPV Project B = $6119.89

So, at a discount rate of 8.5%, Project B should be accepted.

<u>At 13% discount rate</u>

NPV Project A = 31000/(1+0.13) + 31000/(1+0.13)^2 + 31000/(1+0.13)^3 - 80000

NPV Project A = - $6804

NPV Project B = 110000 / (1+0.13)^3 - 80000

Npv Project B = - $3764.48

So, at a discount rate of 13%, neither of the projects should be accepted.

When making decisions, managers should consider all relevant benefits and relevant costs, which include: (Check all that apply.)

attashe74 [19]

Answer: e. a, b and c

Explanation:

Opportunity costs are very important costs to look at because they help a company know if they are picking the best alternative available to them.

Out-of-pocket costs are also quite important because the company needs to know if there is a chance that they will have to pay for special features in the project that are not part of the original project but need to be paid for anyway as these monies come out of the cash reserve.

Incremental costs focus on the additional costs involved in a project and so are very important. When making a decision for processing a good further for instance, management needs to know if the incremental cost will be covered by the extra profit that will be gained.
