indicates that the investment cost for the equipment is financially sound. To truly understand if the decision is financially correct, I will use the Net Present Value (NPV) and Internal Rate of Return (IRR) to justify the decision. NPV is a time series of cash flows for both incoming and outgoing (Garrison, 2010). Since the NPV is $33,040, we can assume that the project will recover the original cost of the equipment investment and generate excess cash flow justifying the original allocation of

Solutions Guide: 1. We focus on free cash flows rather than accounting profits because these are the flows that the firm receives and can reinvest. Only by examining cash flows are we able to correctly analyze the timing of the benefit or cost. Also, we are only interested in these cash flows on an after tax basis as only those flows are available to the shareholder. In addition, it is only the incremental cash flows that interest us, because, looking at the project from the point of the

ten years, we found that the MMDC expansion would have a higher NPV and IRR than the DYOD project. Furthermore, since MMDC requires a less amount for its initial investment than DYOD, it yields a higher profitability index, while having a smaller payback period. MMDC is less risky because it has less of a chance to incur a loss and will pay back the initial investment faster. If the discount rate is raised on the project, the NPV of the DYOD line decreases at a much faster rate than that of MMDC

00, the following information examines key data to aid in the decision of which projects to implement. One way to determine if a proposal is acceptable is by the internal rate of return (IRR) which will show the rate of growth a project could potentially have (Gitman & Zutter, 2009). The significance of the IRR is the percentage rate needed to bring all cash flows to the capital already invested (Gitman & Zutter, 2009). The internal rate of return is simple to interpret, calculate, and easily understood
