Question

The required return on these investments is 15 percent.

What is the payback period for each project? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to 2 decimal places (e.g., 32.16).)

What is the NPV for each project? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to 2 decimal places (e.g.,32.16).)

What is the IRR for each project? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer as a percentage rounded to 2 decimal places (e.g., 32.16).)

What is the profitability index for each project? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to 3 decimal places (e.g., 32.161).)

Consider the following two mutually exclusive projects:

Explanation / Answer

a)

Pay back period of A =  3.39
Pay back period of B= 2.05

NPV of A =  30786.88
NPV of B= 11821.31

IRR of A = 18.15%
IRR of B = 26.89%

Profitability index of A = NPV/ initial invetment + 1=  1.09
Profitability index of B = NPV/ initial invetment + 1=  1.22

e) Based on Payback period project  B is better
Based On NPV project A is better.
Based on IRR project B is better
Based on PI project B is better

Best of Luck. God Bless
