garments for shipping orders to customers. The second possible investment would be a molding machine that would be used to mold the mannequin parts.
The first possible investment is the packaging machine, which will cost $14,000. The second investment, the molding machine, would cost $12,000. The expected cash flows for the two projects are given below and the cost of capital to the firm is 15%. Both machines will be unusable after five years and have no salvage value.
The net cash flows for the two possible projects are given in the following table:
Year Packaging Machine Molding Machine

1 4100 3200
2 3300 2800
3 2900 2800

Answer:

1. Calculate each project's payback period.

Payback period packaging machine = the positive cash flows are lower than the initial outlay

Payback period molding machine = 4.45 years

2. Calculate the NPV for each project.

Using a financial calculator

NPV for packaging machine = -$4,178.24

NPV for molding machine = -$2,907.50

3. Calculate the IRR for each project.

IRR for packaging machine = -0.86%

IRR for molding machine = 3.5%

4. If the two projects are independent of each other, which projects, if any, should be selected? Explain why or why not.

None should be selected since the NPVs are negative

5. If the two projects are mutually exclusive, which project, if any, should be selected? Explain why.

None should be selected since the NPVs are negative
