Question
Quantitative Problem: Bellinger Industries is considering two projects for inclusion in its capital budget, and you have been asked to do the analysis. Both projects' after-tax cash flows are shown on the time line below. Depreciation, salvage values, net operating working capital requirements, and tax effects are al included in these cash flows. Both projects have 4-year lives, and they have risk characteristics similar to the firm's average project. Bellinger's WACC is 12%. Project A 1,040 590 Project B 1,040 360 280 230 360 280 290 750 What is Project Delta's IRR? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to two decimal places. What is the significance of this IRR? It is the -,after this point when mutually exclusive projects are considered there is no conflict in project acceptance between the NPV and IRR approaches. Review the graphs below. Select the graph that correctly represents the correct NPV profile for Projects A and B by using the following drop down menu.
