A land development project financing can be evaluated based on the expected cash flows that can be generated from the infrastructure that has been built on the land. Such cash flows can then be discounted to find the NPV and if NPV is positive after taking into account the land development costs, then the project could be undertaken.
The project could be judged as financially viable or feasible based on a combination of financial metrics such as NPV , IRR and Payback. These can be used collectively and then the risk of the project could also be analysed and if the risk adjusted return meets the expected return criteria, then the project should be accepted.
While evaluating, risk could be evaluated based on the quantum and the timing of cash flows involved.

Comparing the NPV profile of an investment project to that of a financing project demonstrates why the: a. incremental IRR varies with changes in the market rate of interest. b. IRR decision rule for investment projects is the opposite of the rule for financing projects. c. life span of a project affects the decision as to which project to accept. d. NPV rule for financing projects is the opposite of the rule for investment projects. e. profitability index and the...
It costs $25,000 to survey land development for feasibility purposes. If it is feasible, the project will cost $150,000 and the expected cash flows are: Year 1: $60,000 Year 2: $0 Year 3: $100,000 Year 4: $0 Year 5: $60,000 There is also a $10,000 salvage value in year 5. The discount rate is 18%. Calculate the profitability index (PI).
Consider the following two mutually exclusive projects: Year CF of Project A CF of Project B 0 -$350,000 -$50,000 1 45,000 24,000 2 65,000 22,000 3 65,000 19,500 4 440,000 14,600 Whichever project you choose, if any, you require a 15 percent return on your investment. a)If you apply the payback (PB) criterion, which investment will you choose? Why? b)If you apply the NPV criterion, which investment will you choose? Why? c)If you apply the IRR criterion, which investment will...
List 3 reasons to consider the use of debt in financing a development project.
Senior management asks you to recommend a decision on which project(s) to accept based on the cash flow forecasts provided.The firm uses a 3-year cutoff when using the payback method. The hurdle rate used to evaluate capital budgeting projects is 15%. Assume the projects are mutually exclusive and answer the following: Which project(s) would you accept based on the payback criterion? Which projects would you accept based on the IRR criterion? Which projects would you accept based on the NPV...
Stalwork Enterprises is considering Projects Land M, whose cash flows are as follows: Project L cash flows will be -$1,025, $380, $380, $380, $380. Project M cash flows will be -$2,150, $765, $765, $765, $765. The CEO wants to use the IRR criterion, while the CFO favors the NPR method. You were hired to advise the firm on the best method. If the wrong decision criterion is used, how much potential value would the firm lose? A) $214.44 B) $186.47...
Suppose Pheasant Pharmaceuticals is evaluating a proposed capital budgeting project (project Beta) that will require an initial investment of $2,225,000. The project is expected to generate the following net cash flows: Year Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Year 4 Cash Flow $325,000 $450,000 $500,000 $500,000 Pheasant Pharmaceuticals's weighted average cost of capital is 9%, and project Beta has the same risk as the firm's average project. Based on the cash flows, what is project Beta's NPV? $1,417,225 O -$807,775...
When does a project have multiple or no IRR? In this situation, how do we make capital budgeting (investment decision)?
Which of the following statements concerning the principles underlying the capital budgeting process is most accurate? Financing costs should be reflected in a project's incremental cash flows The net income for a project is essential for making a correct capital budgeting decision. Cash flows should be based on opportunity cost.
Suppose Black Sheep Broadcasting Company is evaluating a proposed capital budgeting project (project Beta) that will require an initial Investment of $3,000,000. The project is expected to generate the following net cash flows: Year Cash Flow Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Year 4 $325,000 $500,000 $475,000 $400,000 Black Sheep Broadcasting Company's weighted average cost of capital is 10%, and project Beta has the same risk as the firm's average project. Based on the cash flows, what is project Beta's...
