A company is considering two mutually exclusive expansion plans. Plan A requires a $40 million expenditure on a large-scale integrated plant that would provide expected cash flows of $6.39 million per year for 20 years. Plan B requires a $13 million expenditure to build a somewhat less efficient, more labor-intensive plant with an expected cash flow of $2.91 million per year for 20 years. The firm's WACC is 10%.

Calculate each project's NPV. Round your answers to two decimal places. Enter your answers in millions. For example, an answer of $10,550,000 should be entered as 10.55. Plan A $ million Plan B $ million Calculate each project's IRR. Round your answer to two decimal places. Plan A % Plan B %

Graph the NPV profiles for Plan A and Plan B and approximate the crossover rate to the nearest percent. %

Calculate the crossover rate where the two projects' NPVs are equal. Round your answer to the nearest hundredth. %

Why is NPV better than IRR for making capital budgeting decisions that add to shareholder value?
