Question

An oil drilling company must choose between two mutually exclusive extraction projects, and each costs $12 million. Under Plan A, all the oil would be extracted in 1 year, producing a cash flow at t = 1 of $14.4 million. Under Plan B, cash flows would be $2.1323 million per year for 20 years. The firm's WACC is 11.3%.

a.Construct NPV profiles for Plans A and B. Round your answers to two decimal places. Enter your answers in millions. For example, an answer of $10,550,000 should be entered as 10.55.
Discount Rate NPV Plan A NPV Plan B
0% $...... million $....... million
5 $...... million $....... million
10 $...... million $....... million
12 $...... million $....... million
15 $....... million $....... million

17 $...... million $....... miliion

20 $....... million $...... million

Identify each project's IRR. Round your answer two decimal places.

Project A ________%

Project B________%

Find the crossover rate. Round your answer to two decimal places. __________%

b. Is it logical to assume that the firm would take on all available independent, average-risk projects with retuens greater than 11.3%? Yes or No

If all available projects with returns greater than 11.3% have been undertaken, does this mean that cash flows from past investments have an opportunity cost of only 11.3%, because all the company can do with these cash flows is to replace money that has a cost of 11.3%? Yes or No

Does this imply that the WACC is the correct reinvestment rate assumption for a project's cash flows?

Yes or No
