Redbird Company is considering a project with an initial investment of $265,000 in new equipment that will yield annual net cash flows of $45,800 each year over its seven-year life. The companys minimum required rate of return is 8%. What is the internal rate of return? Should Redbird accept the project based on IRR?
CAPITAL BUDGETING CRITERIA: MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE PROJECTS Project S requires an initial outlay at t = 0 of 17,000, and its expected cash flows would be 5,000 per year for 5 years. Mutually exclusive Project L requires an initial outlay at t = 0 of 30,000, and its expected cash flows would be 8,750 per year for 5 years. If both projects have a WACC of 12%, which project would you recommend? Explain.
Project S has a cost of $10,000 and is expected to produce benefits (cash flows) of $3,000 per year for 5 years. Project L costs $25,000 and is expected to produce cash flows of $7,400 per year for 5 years. Calculate the two projects’ NPVs, IRRs, MIRRs, and PIs, assuming a cost of capital of 12%. Which project would be selected, assuming they are mutually exclusive, using each ranking method? Which should actually be selected?
