The net present value and profitability index methods to give consistent accept-reject decisions?
Yes, The PI and NPV always give the same decisions to accept or reject the projects. The Project's PI will be greater than 1.00 if the NPV is positive and PI will be less than 1.00 if the NPV is negative
When Projects are mutually exclusive which project should be selected using npv and risk level?
Problems with project ranking: 1. Mutually exclusive projects of unequal size (the size disparity problem) - the NPVdecision may not agree with the IRR or PI. Solution: select the project with the larges NPV (not IRR). 2. The time disparity problem with mutually exclusive projects - NPV and PI assume cash flows are reinvested at the required rate of return for the project. IRR assumes cash flows are reinvested at the IRR. NPV decision may not agree with the IRR. Solution: select the project with the largest NPV. A good method to evaluate and rank project better is to use the Equivalent Annual Annuity (EAA) method. This is like calculating for PMT when doing TVM. It simply means, you will be getting that amount as an inflow each year or period. Therefore, you would want to choose the highest figure.
What if your firm is considering a project that will cost 4.55 million upfront generate cash flows of 5 million per year for three years and then have a cleanup and shutdown cost of 6 million in the f?
Your firm is considering a project that will cost $4.55 million upfront, generate cash flows of $5 million per year for three years, and then have a cleanup and shutdown cost of $6 million in the fourth year. Assume a discount rate of 10% per annum, what is the NPV of this project? a. None of the other answers are true. b. The NPV of this project is $3.44 million. c. The NPV of this project is $3.34 million. d. The NPV of this project is $10.89 million.
Why is npv better than irr?
NPV measures the return a project generates against the costs borne to generate them, while also considering Time Value of Money. Whereas IRR measures returns alone and is hence seen as a myopic metric. NPV will be positive only when the IRR>WACC (i.e. the returns are more than the costs). The concept of IRR being greater than WACC is also called 'Positive EVA'. Needless to say, a project must be selected when NPV > 0! When choosing between projects, the spread between IRR & WACC will determine the financial feasibility ...the higher the better.
Does lower WACC equal lower NPV?
no it increases npv
Why would a project have a negative NPV?
because, AMERICA!I'm a free man!
If the opportunity cost of capital for a project exceeds the projects IRR then the project has a NPV negative?
If the opportunity cost of capital for a project exceeds the Project's IRR, then the project has a(n)
Harrys inc is considering a project that has the following cash flow and wacc data what is the projects npv?
Harry\'s Inc. is considering a project that has the following cash flow and WACC data. What is the project\'s NPV? Note that if a project\'s projected NPV is negative, it should be rejected. WACC: 14.75% Year 0 1 2 3 4 5 Cash flows -$1,000 $300 $300 $300 $300 $300 A. $10.58 B. $13.02 C. $11.63 D. $9.07 E. $10.12 You can also get answer on onlinesolutionproviders com thanks
Why the NPV of a relatively long term project is more sensitive to changes in the cost of capital than is the NPV of a short term project?
due to the uncertainty
Should the Dixon Corporation buy the Collingsville plant?
Yes they should but only if they go ahead with the laminate technology investment. The value of the plant on its own is a negative NPV project based on a WACC of between 16-17%, which is where it should be. This is possibly why the price asked for the sale of Collinsville by ACC is 12 million. It could be argued that they have inclued some of the benefits of there R&D of the laminate into the asking price hence a negative NPV for the plant alone.

Yes, The PI and NPV always give the same decisions to accept or reject the projects. The Project's PI will be greater than 1.00 if the NPV is positive and PI will be less than 1.00 if the NPV is negative
For the NPV criteria a project is acceptable if the NPV is while for the profitability index a project is acceptable if the profitability index is?
less than zero, greater than the requred return
IRR VS NPV?
IRR: Internal rate return NPV: Net present value Both are measure of the viability of a project(s) You can have multiple IRR (because of discontinued cash flows) but you always have one NPV.

Which one of the following indicates that a project is expected to create value for its owners?
Positive NPV

What is a capital investment's net present value?
Widely used approach for evaluating an investment project. Under the net present value method, the present value (PV) of all cash inflows from the project is compared against the initial investment (I). The net-present-valuewhich is the difference between the present value and the initial investment (i.e., NPV = PV - I ), determines whether the project is an acceptable investment. To compute the present value of cash inflows, a rate called the cost-of-capitalis used for discounting. Under the method, if the net present value is positive (NPV > 0 or PV > I ), the project should be accepted.
