investments. The projects’ expected net
cash flows are as follows: Expected
Net Cash Flows Time Project A Project
B 0 ($375) ($575) 1 ($300) $190 2 ($200) $190 3 ($100) $190 4 $600 $190 5 $600 $190 6 $926 $190 7 ($200) $0 a. If each project’s
cost of capital is 12%, which project should be selected? If the cost of capital is 18%, what project
is the proper choice? @ 12% cost of capital @ 18% cost
of capital Use
Excel’s NPV function as explained in this chapter’s Tool Kit. Note that the range does not include the
costs, which are added separately. WACC = 12% WACC = 18% NPV A = NPV
A = NPV B = NPV
B = At a cost of capital of 12%, Project A should be
selected. However, if the cost of
capital rises to 18%, then the choice is reversed, and Project B should be
accepted. b. Construct NPV
profiles for Projects A and B. Before we can graph the NPV profiles for these projects, we
must create a data table of project NPVs relative to differing costs of
capital. Project
A Project B 0% 2% 4% 6% 8% 10% 12% 14% 16% 18% 20% 22% 24% 26% 28% 30% c. What is each
project’s IRR? We find the internal rate of return with Excel’s IRR function: IRR A = Note
in the graph above that the X-axis intercepts are equal to the two projects’
IRRs. IRR B = d. What is the
crossover rate, and what is its significance? Cash

rate = 3 4 “The
crossover rate represents the cost of capital at which the two projects value,
at a cost of capital of 13.14% is:have the same net present value. In this scenario, that common net

project’s MIRR at a cost of capital of 12%?
