Please help answer the following problems. 1. The Payback period and the IRR methods are inferior to the NPV method, but firms still use these methods. Provide a rationale for this inconsistency. Why are they inferior to the NPV method? 2. Discuss some problems associated with cash flow estimation for a project.
As the director of capital budgeting for ABC Corporation, you are evaluating two mutually exclusive projects with the following net cash flows: A B -200,000 -125,000 1 65,000 60,000 2 60,000 40,000 3 50,000 40,000 4 65,000 35,000 5 50,000
From the below solution, tell me what the coefficient of variation implies? And would you accept this project or not? Why? The expected NPV is E(NPV)= sigma Prob*NPV = 0.05*(-70) + 0.20*(-25) + 0.50*12 + 0.20*20 + 0.05*30 = 3 (million) The variance of NPV is VAR = sigma Prob*[NPV -E(NPV)]^2 = 0.05*(-70-3)^2 + 0.

Q. Company A wants a new business. The start up costs are $23 million. The business is expected to get a net income of $2.35 million per year for 13 years. The company uses straight line depreciation to zero salvage value for tax purposes. Assuming a 10% discount rate, what is the project's NPV?
A firm uses a single discount rate to compute the NPV of all its potential capital budgeting projects, even though the projects have a wide range of nondiversifiable risk. The firm then undertakes all these projects that appear to have positive NPVs. Briefly explain why such a firm would tend to become riskier over time.
A project anticipates net cash flows of $10,000 at the end of year one, with such amount growing at the expected 5% rate of inflation over the subsequent four years. Calculate the real present value of this five-year cash stream if the firm employs a nominal discount rate of 15%. A) $33,522 B) $38,377 C) $43,294 D) $55,
