Newtown Corp. has to choose between two mutually exclusive projects. If it chooses project A, Newtown Corp. will have the opportunity to make a similar investment in three years. However, if it chooses project B, it will not have the opportunity to make a second investment. The following table lists the cash flows for these projects. If the firm uses the replacement chain (common life) approach, what will be the difference between the net present value (NPV) of project A...
Question 3 (10 marks) a) Six mutually exclusive projects A-F are being considered by a company. They have been ordered by first costs so that project A has the lowest first cost, and F the highest. The table below provides information on the IRR and incremental IRR of each investment. For example, the IRR of C is 11 % ; the incremental IRR going from A to C is 13 % and the incremental IRR from B to C is...
