7. Calculating IRR [LO5] A firm evaluates all of its projects by applying the IRR
rule. If the required return is 14 percent, should the firm accept the following
project?
Year Cash Flow
0 -$26,000
1 11,000
2 14,000
3 10,000
9. Calculating NPV and IRR [LO1, 5] A project that provides annual cash flows
of $15,400 for nine years costs $67,000 today. Is this a good project if the required
return is 8 percent? What if it’s 20 percent? At what discount rate would you be
indifferent between accepting the project and rejecting it?
12. NPV versus IRR [LO1, 5] Garage, Inc., has identified the following two mutually
Year Cash Flow (A) Cash Flow (B)
0 -$43,500 -$43,500
1 21,400 6,400
2 18,500 14,700
3 13,800 22,800
4 7,600 25,200
a. What is the IRR for each of these projects? Using the IRR decision rule, which
project should the company accept? Is this decision necessarily correct?
b. If the required return is 11 percent, what is the NPV for each of these projects?
c. Over what range of discount rates would the company choose project A?
Project B? At what discount rate would the company be indifferent between these two
projects? Explain.
14. Problems with IRR [LO5] Light Sweet Petroleum, Inc., is trying to evaluate a
generation project with the following cash flows:
Year Cash Flow
0 -$45,000,000
1 71,000,000
2 -15,000,000
a. If the company requires a return of 12 percent on its investments, should it accept
this project? Why?
b. Compute the IRR for this project. How many IRRs are there? Using the IRR
decision rule, should the company accept the project? What’s going on here?
24. Multiple IRRs [LO5] This problem is useful for testing the ability of financial
calculators and spreadsheets. Consider the following cash flows. How many different
IRRs are there? (Hint: Search between 20 percent and 70 percent.) When should we
take this project?
Year Cash Flow
0 -$ 3,024
1 17,172
2 -36,420
3 34,200
4 -12,000

2. Relevant Cash Flows [LO1] Winnebagel Corp. currently sells 30,000 motor homes
per year at $73,000 each and 14,000 luxury motor coaches per year at $120,000 each.
The company wants to introduce a new portable camper to fill out its product line;
it hopes to sell 25,000 of these campers per year at $19,000 each. An independent
consultant has determined that if Winnebagel introduces the new campers, it should
boost the sales of its existing motor homes by 2,700 units per year and reduce the
sales of its motor coaches by 1,300 units per year. What is the amount to use as the
annual sales figure when evaluating this project? Why?
4. Calculating OCF [LO1] Consider the following income statement:
Sales 713,500
Costs 497,300
Depreciation 87,400
EBIT 128800
Taxes (34%) 43792
Net income 85008
Fill in the missing numbers and then calculate the OCF. What is the depreciation tax
shield?
6. Calculating Depreciation [LO1] A piece of newly purchased industrial equipment
costs $1,240,000 and is classified as seven-year property under MACRS. Calculate
the annual depreciation allowances and end-of-the-year book values for this
equipment.
7. Calculating Salvage Value [LO1] Consider an asset that costs $730,000 and is
depreciated straight-line to zero over its eight-year tax life. The asset is to be used
in a five-year project; at the end of the project, the asset can be sold for $192,000. If
the relevant tax rate is 40 percent, what is the after tax cash flow from the sale of this
asset?
24. Comparing Mutually Exclusive Projects [LO4] Vandelay Industries is considering
the purchase of a new machine for the production of latex. Machine A costs
$2,600,000 and will last for six years. Variable costs are 35 percent of sales, and fixed
costs are $195,000 per year. Machine B costs $5,200,000 and will last for nine years.
Variable costs for this machine are 30 percent of sales and fixed costs are $230,000
per year. The sales for each machine will be $10 million per year. The required return
is 10 percent, and the tax rate is 35 percent. Both machines will be depreciated on a
straight-line basis. If the company plans to replace the machine when it wears out on
a perpetual basis, which machine should it choose?
32. Project Evaluation [LO1] Aria Acoustics, Inc. (AAI), projects unit sales for a new
seven-octave voice emulation implant as follows:
Year Unit Sales
1 84,000
2 98,000
3 113,000
4 106,000
5 79,000
Production of the implants will require $1,500,000 in net working capital to start and
additional net working capital investments each year equal to 15 percent of the
projected sales increase for the following year. Total fixed costs are $3,400,000 per
year, variable production costs are $265 per unit, and the units are priced at $395
each. The equipment needed to begin production has an installed cost of $17,000,000.
Because the implants are intended for professional singers, this equipment is
considered industrial machinery and thus qualifies as seven-year MACRS property. In
five years, this equipment can be sold for about 20 percent of its acquisition cost. AAI
is in the 35 percent marginal tax bracket and has a required return on all its projects of
18 per-cent. Based on these preliminary project estimates, what is the NPV of the
project? What is the IRR?
