Hi
If a project is riskier than your company WACC, then while calculating NPV you should take that risk factor in WACC and adjust WACC up.
As the years go by, discount rate affect the NPV more. Project will have higher NPV if cash flows are larger in initial years.
Hence option a is correct answer here. (These projects that have large cash inflows in earlier years)
Thanks
If a project you are evaluating is riskier than average for your company, should you use WACC as your discount rate, ad...
Suppose Hungry Whale Electronics is evaluating a proposed capital budgeting project (project Beta) that will require an initial Investment of $2,500,000. 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 $400,000 Hungry Whale Electronics'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? O...

4. Find the MIRR of each investment using the WACC as the discount rate. You currently own and operate a bar in Chicago called the Big Tap. Up until now you have only served beer and hard alcohol to your customers (no food), and all liquor served has been purchased through a distributor. Business has been good, but you have just bought and moved into a new building and are looking to further expand the bar's business. The new building...
Answer each independent question, (a) through (e), below. a. Project A costs $5,000 and will generate annual after-tax net cash inflows of $1,800 for 5 years. What is the payback period for this investment under the assumption that the cash inflows occur evenly throughout the year? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) b. Project B costs $5,000 and will generate after-tax cash inflows of $500 in year 1; $1,200 in year 2; $2,000 in year 3, $2,500 in year...
Provided that your discount rate is 5%, explain whether or not you should adopt an investment project yielding the following cash flow. This year (investment). -$10,000 Yield (1 year later ) $6000 Yield (2 years later) $5000
A project costs $200,000, produces annual cash inflows of $20,000, and has a discount rate of 8%. Explain how you can quickly determine the difference in the NPV of the project if the cash inflows last only 30 years rather than 40 years. Show the calculations needed to determine the amount of the NPV difference.
Mr. S. Berlusconi, the finance manager of Zeffira Company ((ZC), is evaluating two mutually exclusive investment projects, project L and project K. The expected life of project L is six years and that of project K is three years. ZC is planning to replicate investment project K for another three years. The expected cash inflows and outflows of the projects are provided in the following table: Project K Project L Year Cash Flow Year Cash Flow 0 ($25,000) 0 ($30,000)...
NPV and IRR: Equal Annual Net Cash Inflows Winter Fun Company is evaluating a capital expenditure proposal that requires an initial investment of $66,338, has predicted cash inflows of $15,000 per year for seven years, and has no salvage value. a.
