The CEO wants to choose between the WACC is 6%. a. $188.68 b. $198.61 c. $209.07 d. $219.52

Explanation / Answer

NPV of project alpha

= -1025 + 380/1.06 + 380/1.06^2 + 380/1.06^3 + 380/1.06^4

= 291.74

NPV of project Omega

= -2150 + 765/1.06 + 765/1.06^2 + 765/1.06^3 + 765/1.06^4

= 500.81

IRR of project Alpha = 17.86%

IRR of project Omega = 15.78%

hence potential value loss = 500.81 - 291.74 = 209.07

hence choose C)
