A firm with a 13% WACC is evaluating two projects for this year's capital budget. After-tax cash flows, including depreciation, are as follows:

Project M	-$12,000	$4,000	$4,000	$4,000	$4,000	$4,000
Project N	-$36,000	$11,200	$11,200	$11,200	$11,200	$11,200

Calculate NPV for each project. Round your answers to the nearest cent. Do not round your intermediate calculations. Project M $ Project N $

Calculate IRR for each project. Round your answers to two decimal places. Do not round your intermediate calculations. Project M % Project N %

Calculate MIRR for each project. Round your answers to two decimal places. Do not round your intermediate calculations. Project M % Project N %

Calculate payback for each project. Round your answers to two decimal places. Do not round your intermediate calculations. Project M years Project N years

Calculate discounted payback for each project. Round your answers to two decimal places. Do not round your intermediate calculations. Project M years Project N years

Assuming the projects are independent, which one(s) would you recommend? -Select-Both projects would be accepted since both of their NPV's are positive.

Only Project M would be accepted because IRR(M) > IRR(N).

Both projects would be rejected since both of their NPV's are negative.

Only Project M would be accepted because NPV(M) > NPV(N).

Only Project N would be accepted because NPV(N) > NPV(M).Item 11

If the projects are mutually exclusive, which would you recommend? -Select-If the projects are mutually exclusive, the project with the shortest Payback Period is chosen.

Accept Project M.If the projects are mutually exclusive, the project with the highest positive IRR is chosen.

Accept Project N.If the projects are mutually exclusive, the project with the highest positive NPV is chosen.

Accept Project N.If the projects are mutually exclusive, the project with the highest positive IRR is chosen.

Accept Project M.If the projects are mutually exclusive, the project with the highest positive MIRR is chosen.

Accept Project M.Item 12

Notice that the projects have the same cash flow timing pattern. Why is there a conflict between NPV and IRR?
