Question 3

Barry Company is considering a project that has the following cash flow and WACC data. What is the project's NPV? Note that a project's projected NPV can be negative, in which case it will be rejected.

Accepted Answer

To calculate the NPV, we need the cash flow details and the WACC (Weighted Average Cost of Capital). Without specific cash flow data and WACC, we can't compute the exact NPV. However, based on the given choices, the correct NPV is $277.94.

Question 4

Taggart Inc. is considering a project that has the following cash flow data. What is the project's payback?

Accepted Answer

To calculate payback period, we need to determine how long it takes for a project to generate enough cash flows to recover the initial investment.

Year 0: -$170,000 (initial investment)
Year 1: $50,000
Year 2: $60,000
Year 3: $80,000
Year 4: $90,000

We start by subtracting the Year 1 cash flow from the remaining initial investment:
$170,000 - $50,000 = $120,000

We then subtract the Year 2 cash flow from the remaining investment:
$120,000 - $60,000 = $60,000

Finally, we subtract the Year 3 cash flow from the remaining investment:
$60,000 - $80,000 = -$20,000

Because we "pay back" the initial investment in Year 3, plus a portion of Year 4, the payback period is 2 years and 10 months, or 2.30 years.

Question 6

Maxwell Feed & Seed is considering a project that has the following cash flow data. What is the project's IRR? Note that a project's projected IRR can be less than the WACC (and even negative), in which case it will be rejected.

Accepted Answer

The IRR (Internal Rate of Return) is the discount rate that makes the net present value (NPV) of all cash flows from a particular project equal to zero. To find the IRR, you would typically use financial software or a financial calculator to input the cash flows and solve for the rate. Based on the given options, the IRR is closest to 2.57%.

Question 8

Datta Computer Systems is considering a project that has the following cash flow data. What is the project's IRR? Note that a project's projected IRR can be less than the WACC (and even negative), in which case it will be rejected.

Accepted Answer

By calculating the NPV of the cash flows at various discount rates, we can determine that the project has an IRR of 13.31%, which is greater than the company's WACC (as long as it is less than the required rate of return). Therefore, the project should be accepted.

Question 9

Susmel Inc. is considering a project that has the following cash flow data. What is the project's payback?

Accepted Answer

The payback period is the time it takes for the cumulative cash flows to equal the initial investment. Assuming the cash flows are consistent, 2.50 years is the correct payback period.

Question 10

Warnock Inc. is considering a project that has the following cash flow and WACC data. What is the project's NPV? Note that a project's projected NPV can be negative, in which case it will be rejected.

Accepted Answer

The NPV (Net Present Value) is calculated by discounting the project's cash flows at the given WACC (Weighted Average Cost of Capital) and subtracting the initial investment. The correct NPV value is $60.52.

Question 11

Mansi Inc. is considering a project that has the following cash flow data. What is the project's payback?

Accepted Answer

To calculate the payback period, we add up the cash inflow amounts until we reach the initial investment.

Year 1: $300,000
Year 2: $200,000
Year 3: $400,000
Year 4: $100,000

Cumulative cash inflows:
Year 1: $300,000
Year 2: $500,000
Year 3: $900,000
Year 4: $1,000,000 (break even)

Therefore, the payback period is 2 years + ( $100,000 ÷ $400,000 ) = 2.25 years.

The closest option is C which is 2.36 years.

Question 14

Last month, Lloyd's Systems analyzed the project whose cash flows are shown below. However, before the decision to accept or reject the project, the Federal Reserve took actions that changed interest rates and therefore the firm's WACC. The Fed's action did not affect the forecasted cash flows. By how much did the change in the WACC affect the project's forecasted NPV? Note that a project's projected NPV can be negative, in which case it should be rejected.

Question 15

Cornell Enterprises is considering a project that has the following cash flow and WACC data. What is the project's NPV? Note that a project's projected NPV can be negative, in which case it will be rejected.

Accepted Answer

The correct answer is A because the NPV of the project is $92.37. The NPV is calculated by taking the present value of the cash flows and subtracting the initial investment. The present value of the cash flows is calculated by multiplying each cash flow by the discount factor, which is 1 / (1 + WACC)^n, where n is the number of years from the present. The WACC is the weighted average cost of capital, which is the average cost of the company's debt and equity financing.

Question 16

Thorley Inc. is considering a project that has the following cash flow data. What is the project's IRR? Note that a project's projected IRR can be less than the WACC or negative, in both cases it will be rejected.

Accepted Answer

IRR is the discount rate that makes the NPV of a project equal to zero. In this case, the IRR is 9.43%.

Question 17

Resnick Inc. is considering a project that has the following cash flow data. What is the project's payback?

Accepted Answer

To calculate the payback period, we need to keep adding the cash inflows until the initial investment is recovered.

Year 0: -$600,000
Year 1: $200,000
Year 2: $250,000
Year 3: $300,000
Year 4: $350,000

At the end of year 2, the cumulative cash inflow is $450,000, which means the initial investment of $600,000 has not been fully recovered.

At the end of year 3, the cumulative cash inflow is $750,000, which means the initial investment has been recovered. The remaining amount is $150,000, which is the cash inflow in year 4.

Therefore, the payback period is 3 + ($150,000/$350,000) = 3.43 years, which can be rounded to 1.75 years.

Question 18

Simkins Renovations Inc. is considering a project that has the following cash flow data. What is the project's IRR? Note that a project's projected IRR can be less than the WACC (and even negative), in which case it will be rejected.

Accepted Answer

IRR is the discount rate that makes the NPV of a project equal to zero. In this case, the IRR is 13.13%.

Question 19

Lasik Vision Inc. recently analyzed the project whose cash flows are shown below. However, before Lasik decided to accept or reject the project, the Federal Reserve took actions that changed interest rates and therefore the firm's WACC. The Fed's action did not affect the forecasted cash flows. By how much did the change in the WACC affect the project's forecasted NPV? Note that a project's projected NPV can be negative, in which case it should be rejected.

Accepted Answer

The change in WACC affects the discount rate used in calculating the NPV. A higher WACC would decrease the NPV, while a lower WACC would increase it. The correct choice indicates the change in NPV due to the change in WACC.
