Capital Budgeting and Project Evaluation: NPV, IRR, MIRR, and EthicalConsiderations1.) IRRProject K costs $46,145.75, its expected cash inflows are $10,000 per year for 9 years, and its WACC is 9%.What is the project's IRR?Round your answer to two decimal places.%Using financial calculatorCF =-46,145.75, and CF1CF9 = 10,000;IRR =15.9624 % ~ 16%2.) Capital budgeting criteriaA firm with a 13% WACC is evaluating two projects for this year'scapital budget. After-tax cash flows,including depreciation, are as follows:012345Project A-$30,000$10,000$10,000$10,000$10,000$10,000Project B-$90,000$28,000$28,000$28,000$28,000$28,000Calculate MIRR foreach project.

Capital budgeting criteria: ethical considerationsA mining company is considering a new project. Because the mine has received a permit, the project wouldbe legal; but it would cause significant harm to a nearby river. The firm could spend an additional $9.66million at Year 0 to mitigate the environmental problem, but it would not be required to do so. Developingthe mine (without mitigation) would cost $57 million, and the expected net cash inflows would be $19million per year for 5 years. If the firm does invest in mitigation, the annual inflows would be $20 million.The risk adjusted WACC is 10%.Calculate the NPV and IRR with mitigation. Round your answers to two decimal places. Enter your answerfor NPV in millions. For example, an answer of $10,550,000 should be entered as 10.55.NPV $______millionCF0=-($57 + $9.66) million =-$66.66million[initial investment with mitigation]

Capital budgeting criteria: ethical considerationsAn electric utility is considering a newpower plant in northern Arizona. Power from the plant would be soldin the Phoenix area, where it is badly needed. Because the firm has received a permit, the plant would belegal; but it would cause some air pollution. The company could spend an additional $40 million at Year 0 tomitigate the environmental problem, but it would not be required to do so. The plant without mitigationwould cost $270.46 million, and the expected cash inflows would be $90 million per year for 5 years. If thefirm does invest in mitigation, the annual inflows would be $93.41 million. Unemployment in the area wherethe plant would be built is high, and the plant would provide about 350 good jobs. The risk adjusted WACCis 19%.Calculate the NPV and IRR with mitigation. (Round your answers to two decimal places. Enter your answerfor NPV in millions. For example, an answer of $10,550,000 should be entered as 10.55.)IRR_______%CF0=-($270.46 + $40) million =-$310.46million[initial investment with mitigation]CF1CF5= $93.41millionWACC = 19%Using financial calculator we haveNPV =-24.84million and IRR= 15.36%Calculate the NPVand IRR without mitigation.

The IRR of this 20-year project is 13.85%. If the firm's WACC is 10%, what is the project's NPV?(Round your answer to the nearest cent.)$_______At IRR, the present value of cost is present value of revenue.The PV of revenue is,PV = 6,500{1/(1+0.1385)1+ 1/(1+0.1385)2+….+ 1/(1+0.1385)10} + 5,000{1/(1+0.1385)11+1/(1+0.1385)12+….+ 1/(1+0.1385)20}=6,500 (5.24679) + 5,000 (1.434048)=34,104.135 + 7,170.24=41,274.375Assuming that the cost is incurred at the beginning.

The company has a 40% tax rate, and its WACC is 11%.(Write out your answers completely. For example, 13 million should be entered as 13,000,000.)What is the project's operating cash flow for the first year (t = 1)? (Round your answer to the nearest cent.)$______Sales Revenue$5 millionOperating cost$3.5 millionDepreciation$1 millionOperating income before taxes$0.5 millionTaxes(40%)$0.2 millionOperating income after taxes$0.3 millionAdd back depreciation$1 millionOperating cash flow$1.3 millionIf this project would cannibalize other projects by $0.5 million of cash flow before taxes per year, howwould this change your answer to part a? Round your answer to the nearest cent.The firm's OCF would now be $______The cannibalization of existing sales needs to be considered in this analysis on an after-tax basis, becausethe cannibalized sales represent sales revenue the firmwould realize without the new project but would loseif the new project is accepted.Thus, the after-tax effect would be to reduce the firm’s operating cash flowby $0.5(1T) = $0.5(0.6) = $0.3 million.Thus, the firm’s OCF would now be $1 millionrather than $1.3million.Ignore Part b. If the tax rate dropped to 35%, how would that change your answer to part a? Round youranswer to the nearest cent.The firm's operating cash flow would___________increase_____________by $______If thetaxrate fell to 35%, the operating cash flow would change to:Operating income before taxes$0.5 millionTaxes (35%)0.175 millionOperating income after taxes$0.325 millionAdd back depreciation1 millionOperating cash flow$1.325 millionThus, the firm’s operating cash flow would increase by $0.025 million or $25,0008.) Scenario analysisHuang Industries is considering a proposed project whose estimated NPV is $12 million. This estimateassumes that economic conditions will be"average." However the CFO realizes that conditions could bebetter or worse, so she performed a scenario analysis and obtained these results:Economic ScenarioProbability of OutcomeNPVRecession0.05-$54 millionBelow average0.20-$20 millionAverage0.5012 millionAbove average0.2014 millionBoom0.0526 millionCalculate the project's expected NPV, standard deviation, and coefficient of variation.

(Thus, annual cash flows would be$12,000 before taxes plus the tax savings that result from $7,400 of depreciation.) Themanagers are having a heated debate about whether the tractor would actually last 5years. The controller insists that she knows of tractors that have lasted only 4 years. Thetreasurer agrees with the controller, but he argues that most tractors actually do give 5years of service. The service manager then states that some last for as long as 8 years.Given this discussion, the CFO asks you to prepare a scenario analysis to determine theimportance of the tractor's life on the NPV. Use a 40% marginal federal-plus-state tax rate,a zero salvage value, and a 8% WACC. Assuming each of the indicated lives has the sameprobability of occurring (probability = 1/3), what is the tractor's expected NPV? (Hint:Usethe 5-year straight-line depreciation for all analyses and ignore the MACRS half-yearconvention for this problem.)Round your answers to two decimal places. Do not round intermediate calculations.Tractor's NPV if actual life is 4 years.$______Tractor's NPV if actual life is 8 years.$______Tractor's expected NPV.
