NPV Profile Construction

The document discusses two mutually exclusive investment projects, Project A and Project B. It provides the expected net cash flows for each project over time and calculates various metrics to evaluate the projects. At a 12% cost of capital, Project A has a higher NPV and should be selected. But at an 18% cost of capital, Project B has a higher NPV. The internal rate of return (IRR) and modified internal rate of return (MIRR) are also calculated for each project at different costs of capital. The crossover rate, where the two projects have equal NPV, is 13.13%. Regular and discounted payback periods are presented. The profitability index is shown for each project at a 12% cost

Chapter 12 P23 Build a Model


Gardial Fisheries is considering two mutually exclusive investments. The projects' expected net cash flows are as follows: Expected net cash flows Project A Project B ($375) ($575) ($300) $190 ($200) $190 ($100) $190 $600 $190 $600 $190 $926 $190 ($200) $0

a. If you were told that each project's cost of capital was 12 percent, which project should be selected? If the cost of capital was 18 percent, what would be the proper choice? @ a 12% cost of capital WACC = NPV A = NPV B = 12% @ a 18% cost of capital WACC = NPV A = NPV B = 18% 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.

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 NPV relative to differing costs of capital. r 0% 2% 4% 6% 8% 10% 12% 14% 16% 18% 20% 22% Project A Project B

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 = IRR B = Note in the graph above that the X-axis intercepts are equal to the two projects' IRRs.

e. What is the crossover rate, and what is its significance? Cash flow differential

Crossover rate = The crossover rate represents the cost of capital at which the two projects have the same net present value. In this scenario, that common net present value, at a cost of capital of 13.13%, is:

d. What is each project's MIRR at a cost of capital of 12 percent? At r = 18%? (Hint: Consider Period 7 to be the end of Project B's life.) @ a 12% cost of capital MIRR A = MIRR B = @ a 18% cost of capital MIRR A = MIRR B =

f. What is the regular payback period for these two projects? Project A Time period: Cash flow: Cumulative cash flow: % of year required for payback: Max Row 93=Payback: 0 (375) 1 (300) 2 (200) 3 (100) 4 600 5 $600 6 $926
