unfamiliar with the actual workings of leasing arrangements. Fortunately its parent company has extensive leasing expertise and chose to assist Baumann in his research.

To help resolve any assumption issues there, Baumann decided to run some sensitivity analyses with a zero marginal tax rate, this

their NPVs based on the firm's cost of capital are equal, the NPV of a project whose cash flows accrue relatively rapidly will be more sensitive to changes in the discount rate than the NPV of a project whose cash flows come in later in its life. | | 3. | A basic rule in capital budgeting is that if a project's NPV exceeds its IRR, then the project should be accepted. | | 4. | Other things held constant, an increase in the cost of capital will result in a decrease in a project's IRR. |

Net Present Value and Internal Rate of Return by Harold Bierman, Jr Executive Summary • • • Net present value (NPV) and internal rate of return (IRR) are two very practical discounted cash flow (DCF) calculations used for making capital budgeting decisions. NPV and IRR lead to the same decisions with investments that are independent. With mutually exclusive investments, the NPV method is easier to use and more reliable. Introduction To this point neither of the two discounted cash flow procedures

firm, the NPV should be used to make a decision whenever the ranking conflict occurs. This is because the NPV tells us how much extra value will be created for shareholders, while the IRR does not. It is also important to note that the NPV criterion is the one most directly related to shareholder value and share prices as illustrated in Example 2–6 of the reading. However, this is a simplified example and the effect of a project on share price depends on whether the project’s NPV is higher

Zhon 1> A. Payback, NPV, IRR, Should purchase or not? Payback: $35,000/5000=7 year NPV: =Co+ C1…..n/(1+i)^1….n Co=-3,5000 CF1-CF15= 5,000; I= 12 Computing result is $-945.67 IRR: 11.49% NPV is negative and IRR is lower 12% so reject the proposal. B. NPV: =Co+ C1…..n/(1+i)^1….n NPV= -35000+(4500/.12) =2500 NPV is positive so should purchase the machine. C. NPV: =Co+ C1…..n/(1+i)^1….n = -35,000(4000/(0.12-0.04)) =-35,000+50,000 =15,000 NPV is positive so rainbow should

Beta measures the systematic risk of a security or a portfolio in contrast to the market as a whole. Beta is used in the capital asset pricing model (CAPM), a model that calculates the expected returns of an asset based on its beta and expected market returns. Beta is calculated using regression analysis, it can be viewed as the trend of a security's returns to respond to movement in the market. A beta of 1 indicates that the security's price will move with the market. A beta less than 1 indicates
