Suppose that you are deciding which group of projects to invest in. The firm has $200 million it can invest and has the following investment opportunities available. What is highest total NPV you can afford? Project Cost/NPV A 60/75 B 100/120 C 50/50 D 50/70 E 40/30. This is all the information given.
Project | Project Cost | Net Present Value |
A | 60 | 75 |
B | 100 | 120 |
C | 50 | 50 |
D | 70 | 70 |
E | 40 | 30 |
The rate of discounting does not matter. Mutually exclusive projects are given with the final output as NPV and it's cost considerations. We need to maximize the NPV given the budget considerations of the firm. Since the firm has $200 million, it can invest in Project A, B and E at the same time. This will give us the highest NPV at $225 and no other combination would have given such a high NPV.

Suppose a firm has $100 million in excess cash. It could Invest the funds in projects with positive NPVs Buy another firm Do all of the options Pay high dividends to the shareholders
5. Growth options Aa Aa Companies often come across projects that have positive NPV opportunities in which the company does not invest. Companies must evaluate the value of the option to invest in a new project that would potentially contribute to the growth of the firm. These options are referred to as growth options Consider the case of Mitata Co.: Mitata Co. is considering a three-year project that will require an initial investment of $45,000. It has estimated that the...

5. You are deciding between two mutually exclusive investment
projects. Both require the same upfront investment of $9.8 million.
Investment A will generate $2 million per year in perpetuity
(starting from the end of the first year) and Investment B will
generate $1.45 million per year at the end of first year and, after
the first year, its revenue will grow at 2.6% per year in
perpetuity. The discount rate is 7.8%.

At time t=0 a firm has a project which costs $160 today and will yield $200 at time t=2 with probability 1/2 and $100 at time t=2 with probability 1/2. At time t=1 the firm learns what the payoff will be from the original project (i.e., whether the payoff will be $200 or $100) and, assuming they invested at t=0, the firm can choose to fund a follow-up project at time t=1 where the follow-up project requires spending an additional...
