Question

1.

What is the payback period for each project? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to 2 decimal places (e.g., 32.16).)

Should it accept either of them?

What is the project's IRR? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer as a percentage rounded to 2 decimal places (e.g., 32.16).)

If the required return is 12 percent, should the firm accept the project?

At a required return of 11 percent, what is the NPV of the project? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places (e.g., 32.16).)

At a required return of 22 percent, what is the NPV of the project? (Do not round intermediate calculations. A negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign. Round your answer to 2 decimal places (e.g., 32.16).)

Kerron Company is presented with the following two mutually exclusive projects. The required return for both projects is 14 percent.

What is the IRR for each project? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answers as a percentage rounded to 2 decimal places (e.g., 32.16).)

What is the NPV for each project? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to 2 decimal places (e.g., 32.16).)

Global Toys, Inc., imposes a payback cutoff of three years for its international investment projects. Assume the company has the following two projects available.

Part -2 : IRR

161000 = 55000/ (1+r) + 84000/(1+r)^2 + 68000/(1+r)^3 .

By trial and error Method, for r=13%, we get,

55000/ (1+0.13) + 84000/(1+0.13)^2 + 68000/(1+0.13)^3 = 161584.3

Similarly, for r=14%, we get,

55000/ (1+0.14) + 84000/(1+0.14)^2 + 68000/(1+0.14)^3 = 158778.9

Now, we sum the absolute values of the closest returns:

(161584.3-161000) + (161000-158788.9) = 584.3+2211.11 = 2795.4

Now, we calculate the ratio with the smaller “r” (in this case 13%)

= 584.2/2795.5=0.21.

Therefore IRR for Project S = 13 +0.21 =13.21%

Internal rate of return   13.21%  

With the rate of return at 12%, the firm should not accept the project since it is below the IRR

Hence NPV for the project is $10027.72

At r =22% the NPV is as follows:

Hence NPV for the project is -$16062.59

By trial and error method as described above in Part -2

We get
