The investment Detective


Answer Q1:


We can rank the projects by simply inspecting the cash flows (mention bellow), yet it’s not a good measure to rank them.


We can’t rank the projects by only simple inspection of the cash flows because of the time value of money and cost of capital of companies. We use capital budgeting tools to measure financial performance of projects.

All of these projects are accepted except Project 2 because its cost of capital has higher percentage than the percentage project internal rate of return. Moreover, Project 6 will be a subject of be in different because the cost of capital equal to internal rate of return, which lead to break even project.


COC = 10%


C. Payback Period (PP)


In Payback Period there are two method, non-discounted cash flow and discounted cash flow. Drawback of non-discounted cash flow does not consider TVM and the rate of return, and the discounted cash flow does not examine all the cash flows.

All the projects will be undertaken except for project 8 since it is mutually exclusive with project 7, and project 6 and 2 will not be undertaken since they have IRR that is less than the 10%, the discount rate. Project 1 also might not be taken since “certain officers of the company have recently asserted that the discount rate should be much higher.”

• Comparing the quantitative methods, we noticed that project 3 scored 1st four times using simple inspections of cash flows, NPV, PP, and PI. Project 7 however, scored 1st only through using the IRR method. Looking on the last ranked projects, project 2 has scored last 4 times using simple inspections of cash flows, NPV, IRR, and PI.


• Net Present Value is considered the best approach since it:


i. Uses Cash Flows.


ii. Uses all the Cash Flows of the project.


iii. And discounts the Cash Flows properly.


And through using the NPV approach, Project 3 got the highest NPV, 393.92, and then comes 4, 8, 5 and 1.
