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

analyzing the numbers and the market and property factors involved with Shady Trail, it is my opinion that this property is a reasonable one to invest in. It meets the criteria we had previously set forth in choosing an investment property as both the IRR and the current cash flows are in excess of the minimum we mandated. These numbers require that the assumptions we use in market rent, cap rate in 2003, vacancy rate, and our plans to sell the investment after 5 years all hold. If one of these assumptions

that the company should accept. The case is broken down into three separate steps including the given information about estimated cash flows (inflows & outflows), determining the appropriate discount rate, and evaluating the cash flows using the IRR (Internal Rate of Return), MIRR (Modified Internal Rate of Return), NPV (Net Present Value), and other metrics. Each project is chosen solely on the basis of the quantitative analysis. Here are some factors to consider for this case: Each project has

value of money in regard to benefits and costs and the comparison of logic. IRR or Internal Rate of Return expressed as the rate of return that the project earns. For computational purposes, the internal rate of return depicts as the discount rate that equates the present value of the project’s free cash flows with the project’s initial cash outlay (Keown, Martin & Petty, 2014 Pg. 316). In more basic terms, an IRR is the rate of return that the project earns.

flows, NPV method, IRR method, Payback period method and PI method are three most popularly used quantitative methods to do capital-budgeting analysis. Among the three methods, NPV is better than the other two methods in most situations. 1. Definition 2. Calculation results under different methods Using the mentioned 4 methods and Excel, the following calculating result can be achieved. Project | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | NPV | 73.09 | -85.45 | 793.92 | 228.22 | 129.70 | IRR | 10.87% | 6.31%

mutually exclusive projects, the one with higher NPV should be selected When the project NPV is zero, the rate at that point of time is considered to be its Internal Rate of Return (IRR). The IRR decision rules are: • Projects with an IRR which is better than that of the firm should be accepted • Projects with an IRR which is

Camden, the president, insists that no project should be accepted unless its IRR exceeds the project’s risk-adjusted WACC. Now you must make a recommendation on a project that has a cost of $15, 000 and two cash flows: $110,000 at the end of Year 1 and $100,000 at the end of Year 2. The president and the CFO both agree that the appropriate WACC for its project is 10%. At 10%, the NPV is $2,355.37, but you find two IRRs, one at 6.33% and one at 527%, and MIRR of 11.32%. Which of the following statements

project is three years. With this decision rule, we want to accept projects that show a calculated statistic less than the benchmark of three years: 3. Describe the Internal Rate of Return (IRR) method for determining a capital budgeting project's desirability. What is the acceptance benchmark when using IRR? The Internal Rate of Return

Palms Hospital 1. Address the following issues: A) Define the term incremental cash flow. As the project, at least constructively, will be financed in part by debt, should the cash flows include interest expense? Explain. -Incremental cash flow is the additional operating cash flow that an organization obtains from taking on a new project. Yes the cash flow should include interest expense as burrowing money was a direct result of taking on this project. B) The hospital already

CHAPTER 6, Case #1 BETHESDA MINING To analyze this project, we must calculate the incremental cash flows generated by the project. Since net working capital is built up ahead of sales, the initial cash flow depends in part on this cash outflow. So, we will begin by calculating sales. Each year, the company will sell 500,000 tons under contract, and the rest on the spot market. The total sales revenue is the price per ton under contract times 500,000 tons, plus the spot market sales times the spot
