Question

(Part 1)
Using a 4.5% discount rate, calculate the Net Present Value, Payback, Profitability Index, and IRR for each of the investment projects below (note, the inflows are for each year). Based on your calculations rank the projects and support you answer.

Project 1
Initial Invest= $490,000, Cash inflows of $100,000 for years 1-5 and $50,000 for years 6-10.

Project 2
Initial Invest= $970,000, Cash inflows of $400,000 for years 1-3, $0 for years 4-7 and $250,000 for years 8-10.

Project 3
Initial Invest= $820,000, Cash inflows of $300,000 for years 1-5, $0 for years 6-9 and $100,000 for year 10.

(Part 2)
Assuming a budget of $1,100,000 what are your recommendations for the three projects in the above problem. Explain.  

Assuming a budget of $2,200,000 what are your recommendations for the above problem? Explain.

Although the NPV method is considered the favorable one among analysts, the IRR and PB are often used as well under certain circumstances. Managers can have the most confidence in their analysis when all three approaches indicate the same course of action. Note: Decisions is beased on two situation   Situation -1 : If the above 3 projects are Indivisable Projects.   Part-1 : Budget - 11,000,00 - Then invest in Project-2 (Based on NPV Ranking) and Remaining Balance either return to investor or Invest in risk free securities like Govt Bonds. Part-2 : Budget - 22,000,00 - Then invest in Project-2 & 3 (Based on NPV Ranking) and Remaining Balance either return to investor or Invest in risk free securities like Govt Bonds. Situation -2 : If the above 3 projects are divisable Projects.   Part-1 : Budget - 11,000,00 - Then invest in Project-2 - $ 9,70,000 and $ 1,30,000 in Project -3. (Based on NPV Ranking) Part- 2: Budget - 22,000,00 - Then invest in Project-2 - $ 9.70,000 ,$ 8,20,000 in Project -3 and $ 4,10,000 in Project-1. (Based on NPV Ranking)
