The manufacturing department has requested the board to evaluate these opportunities using a discounted cash flow technique. The finance department personnel have been unwilling to use a discounted cash flow technique because of the difficulty in establishing an appropriate discount rate. They, therefore, propose to calculate each project’s internal rate of return and let the board determine appropriate hurdle rates.
Required:
(a) Calculate each project’s payback period and state which alternative should be accepted based on this criterion.
