A firm with a 14% WACC is evaluating two projects for this year's capital budget. After-tax cash flows, including depreciation, are as follows:

0

Project M	-$6,000	$2,000	$2,000	$2,000	$2,000	$2,000
Project N	-$18,000	$5,600	$5,600	$5,600	$5,600	$5,600

1. Calculate NPV for each project. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to the nearest cent.

   Project M: $

   Project N: $

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

   Project M: %

   Project N: %

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

   Project M: %

   Project N: %

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

   Project M: years

   Project N: years

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

   Project M: years

   Project N: years

2. Assuming the projects are independent, which one(s) would you recommend?

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

3. If the projects are mutually exclusive, which would you recommend?

   -Select-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.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.Item 12

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