Corporate Finance Q41

0. Two mutually exclusive projects have the following cash flows ($) and internal rates of return
Project  IRRYear 0Year 1Year 2Year 3Year 4
X    26.36%-2,3402407295053,680
26.68%-2,3402407299903,115

  • Option : B
  • Explanation : Compute the NPV of both the projects at 10% discount rate. Using the financial calculator, enter CF for Years 0 – 4.
    Project X: CF0 = -2340, CF1 = 240, CF2 = 729, CF3 = 505, CF4 = 3680,
    I = 10, CPT NPV. NPV = $1,373.56.
    Project Y: CF0 = -2340, CF1 = 240, CF2 = 729, CF3 = 990, CF4 = 3115, I = 10, CPT NPV. NPV = $1,352.05.
    B is correct because Project X has a higher NPV and the projects are mutually exclusive, only Project X should be accepted.
