Cooper Woodworking is considering two projects, both of which have an initial cost of $65,000 and total cash inflows of $80,000. The cash inflows of project A are $10,000, $15,000, $25,000, and $30,000 over the next four years, respectively. The cash inflows for project B are $30,000, $25,000, $15,000, and $10,000 over the next four years, respectively. Which one of the following statements is correct if Cooper requires a 10.5 percent rate of return and also has a required payback period of 4 years?
Both projects should be accepted.
Both projects should be rejected.
Project A should be accepted and project B should be rejected.
Project A should be rejected and project B should be accepted.
You should be indifferent to accepting either or both projects.
Harper Jones is evaluating an investment project will have an installed cost of $518,297. The cash flows over the 4-year life of the investment are projected to be $287,636, $203,496, $63,024 and $92,556, respectively. What is the NPV of this project if the discount rate is 6.5 percent?
$37,306
$55,318
$86,127
$128,415
$169,193
In actual practice, managers frequently use the:
I. average accounting return method because the information is so readily available
II. internal rate of return because the results are easy to communicate and understand
III. discounted payback because of its simplicity
IV. net present value because it is considered by many to be the best method of analysis
I and III only
II and III only
I, II, and IV only
II, III, and IV only
I, II, III, and IV
