between a firm’s cost of capital and capital budgeting decisions. In order to decide whether a project is desirable, a financial manager uses the cost of capital the firm faces to determine the project’s net present value; or compare the project’s IRR with the cost of capital. In addition, we also know that the cost of capital a firm faces might not be constant (i.e. the firm’s MCC schedule might experience several break points). In that case, how does a firm decide what is the appropriate cost of

choices. The fact remains that there are many evaluation methods and because of this, “it makes good business sense to apply the various techniques to the same proposal in order to obtain multiple perspectives” (Edmonds, 2007).

and the net present value. a. NINV = $20,000 and NCF = (5000 4000)(1 .4) + 4000 = $4600/year $20,000 = $4,600∙(Interest factor for 5 years). 20,000/4,600 = 4.3478. Interest factor = 4.3478, which helps to find the internal rate of return (IRR) of this project. This interest factor represents the present value of a $1 annuity for 5 years discounted at r%. Looking up 4.3478 in Table 5, this value falls between 4.4518 and 4.3295, which corresponds to discount rates of 4% and 5% respectively
