FIN 320: Managerial Finance

Capital Budgeting

Consider the following two mutually exclusive projects

Year CF of Project A CF of Project B
0 -$350,000 -$50,000

2 65,000 22,000
3 65,000 19,500
4 440,000 14,600

Whichever project you choose, if any, you require a 15 percent return on your investment.

  1. If you apply the payback criterion, which investment will you choose? Why?

I would pick project B because the payback period is less.

  1. If you apply the NPV criterion, which investment will you choose? Why?
  2. If you apply the IRR criterion, which investment will you choose? Why?
  3. If you apply the profitability index criterion, which investment will you choose? Why?
  4. Based on your answers in (a) through (e ), which project will you finally choose?
