Question

Fuji Software, Inc., has the following mutually exclusive projects.

  

  

Calculate the payback period for each project. (Round your answers to 3 decimal places. (e.g., 32.161))

  

  

Which, if either, of these projects should be chosen?

  

What is the NPV for each project if the appropriate discount rate is 17 percent? (Negative amounts should be indicated by a minus sign. Round your answers to 2 decimal places. (e.g., 32.16))

  

  

Which, if either, of these projects should be chosen if the appropriate discount rate is 17 percent?


Fuji Software, Inc., has the following mutually exclusive projects.

Explanation / Answer

Project A

Payback period = 1+(25000-14500)/11000 = 1.95 years

Project B

Payback period = 2+(28000-15500-12000)/11000 = 2.04 years



Project A should be chosen as it has less Payback period


NPV of project A = -25000+(14500/1.17)+(11000/1.17^2)+(3400/1.17^3) = -$2448.32


NPV of project B = -28000+(15500/1.17)+(12000/1.17^2)+(11000/1.17^3) = $882.10


Project B should be chosen
