CF0= -800, CO1 = -80, FO1=1, CO2 = 100, FO2=1, CO3 = 300, FO3=1, CO4 = 500, FO4=2 Then hit the NPV key, type in 10 for “I,” hit the down arrow to get you back to the NPV display, and hit CPT and you get 87.28 19 You are considering a project that costs $600 and has expected cash flows of $224, $250.88 and $280.99 over the next three years If the appropriate discount rate for the project's cash flows is 12%, what is the net present value of this project? A) The NPV is negative B) $ 0.00 C) $ 9.34 D) $49.34 E) $84.75 Answer: B CFO = -600, CO1=224, CO2=250.88, CO3=280.99 All the FO’s are equal to one, with each cash flow occurring once After entering all the Cashflows (the CO1’s, 2’s and 3’s), hit the NPV key, set I equal to 12, hit the down arrow to get back to NPV, hit CPT and you get about zero, or B 20 A project costs $300 and has cash flows of $75 for the first three years and $50 in each of the project's last three years What is the payback period of the project? A) The project never pays back B) 3.75 years C) 4.50 years D) 5.25 years E) 5.50 years Answer: C Response: recover $275 in years, need $25 / 50 = 4.50 years 21 Suppose a project costs $2,500 and produces cash flows of $400 over each of the following years What is the IRR of the project?

Year Cash Flow –$25 $10 $10 $25 A) No, because the IRR is 5% B) No, because the IRR is 10% C) Yes, because the IRR is 20% D) Yes, because the IRR is 30% E) Yes, because the IRR is 40% Answer: D Response: $25 = $10 / (1 + IRR) + 10 / (1 + IRR)2 + 25 / (1 + IRR)3; IRR = 30% CF0=-25, CO1=10, FO1=2, CO2=25, FO2=1, IRR, CPT, IRR = 29.97% or about 30% 28 You are going to choose between two investments Both cost $50,000, but investment A pays $25,000 a year for years while investment B pays $20,000 a year for years If your required return is 12%, which should you choose? A) A because it pays back sooner B) A because its IRR exceeds 12% C) A because it has a higher IRR D) B because its IRR exceeds 12% E) B because it has a higher NPV Answer: E Response: A: NPV = + 25,000 [(1 - 1/1.123) / 12] = $10,046 B: NPV = + 20,000 [(1 - 1/1.124) / 12] = $10,747 29 Using the profitability index, which of the following projects would you choose if you have limited funds? Project Initial Investment $50,000 75,000 60,000 40,000 90,000 NPV $10,000 25,000 15,000 17,000 40,000 A) Project B) Project C) Project D) Project E) Project Answer: E Response: Project 1: PI = $60,000 / 50,000 = 1.200; Project 2: PI = $100,000 / 75,000 = 1.333 Project 3: PI = $75,000 / 60,000 = 1.250; Project 4: PI = $57,000 / 40,000 = 1.425 Project 5: PI = $130,000 / 90,000 = 1.444 30 You have a choice between mutually exclusive investments If you require a 15% return, which investment should you choose? Year A Cash Flow –$100,000 20,000 40,000 80,000 B Cash Flow –$125,000 75,000 45,000 40,000 A) Project A, because it has a smaller initial investment B) Project B, because it has a higher NPV C) Either one, because they have the same profitability indexes D) Project A, because it has the higher internal rate of return E) Project B, because it pays back faster Answer: B Response: A: NPV = + 20,000 / 1.15 + 40,000 / 1.152 + 80,000 / 1.153 = $238 B: NPV = + 75,000 / 1.15 + 45,000 / 1.152 + 40,000 / 1.153 = $545 31 For a project with an initial investment of $8,000 and cash inflows of $2,000 each year for years, calculate NPV given a required return of 13% A) –$846 B) –$263 C) $ D) $149 E) $552 Answer: C Response: NPV = -$8,000 + 2,000 [(1 - 1/1.136) / 13] = $0 (actual -$4.90) Use your TVOM keys with equally-sized cash flows Thusly: 2000 PMT, N, 13 I/Y, CPT PV = 7,995, which is less than 8,000, so your NPV would be about a negative five bucks, as with the algebra above 32 What is the IRR of an investment that costs $18,500 and pays $5,250 a year for years? A) 13% B) 15% C) 19% D) 25% E) 28% Answer: A Response: $18,500 = $5,250 {[1 - 1/(1 + IRR)5] / IRR}; IRR = 12.92% Just use your TVOM keys with equal cash flows to calculate IRR Thusly: -18,500 PV, 5,250 PMT, N, CPT I/Y = IRR with equally-sized cash-flows or 12.92% 33 What is the profitability index of the following investment if the required return = 10%? Year Cash Flow –$150 $50 $75 $75 A) 0.94 B) 1.09 C) 1.18 D) 1.27 E) 1.45 Answer: B Response: PV = $50 / 1.1 + 75 / 1.12 + 75 / 1.13 = $163.79; PI = $163.79 / 150 = 1.09 34 What is the payback period for the following investment? Year Cash Flow A) B) C) D) years years years year –$25,000 $10,000 $8,000 $4,000 $2,000 E) The investment doesn't payback Answer: E Response: recover $10,000 + 8,000 + 4,000 + 2,000 = $24,000; never pays back Use the following to answer questions 35-38: Bill plans to open a do-it-yourself dog bathing center in a storefront The bathing equipment will cost $50,000 Bill expects the after-tax cash inflows to be $15,000 annually for years, after which he plans to scrap the equipment and retire to the beaches of Jamaica 35 What is the project's payback period? A) 2.67 years B) 3.33 years C) 3.67 years D) 4.33 years E) 5.67 years Answer: B Response: payback = $50,000 / 15,000 = 3.33 years 36 Assume the required return is 10% What is the project's NPV?
